I prefer an Ice World theme for my tables, fighting under harsh winter conditions always adds a bit more appeal to the game.

**chromedog**

Urban.
Doesn't matter if it's a desert world slum or a inner-systems hive world. As long as there are buildings of a high density to fight among, I am happy.

That said, I also have an ice world set of terrain for my SM army which I call my "Hoth playset".

**KingCracker**

I like Orky piles of junk. So I went with other

**1hadhq**

Not really any preferences, just fight where I am encountering something opposing....
but well done terrain is a good way to distract me from the game.

At home , has to be urban. Have some buildings but not much vegetation.

**Illeix**

Other.

What I keep seeing in my head is a WW1 hellhole of mud, trenches and barbed wire. A field that looks flat and nearly barren at first glance, before you see the trench networks and redoubts.
A sort of hell in which the Death Korps would feel at home.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

My own is sorta steppes/mountains style terrain, lots of tall rocks, cliff faces, hills with forest pieces. It looks nice and its funs to play on, but at times its quite basic.

Probably why I'm working on City fight terrain on the side.

Although I think my favourite style would be a Space Hulk theme. I have always wanted to do one, but it really needs a fixed 3-D board to do it justice.

As soon as I have a place where I can say that room is for the Space Hulk themed board, it will be done.

**ZacktheChaosChild**

Urban and daemon environments are my fav's.

**mortal888**

Demon worlds usually take more effort and creativity. Even though I haven't seen enough of them, I'll pick demons.

**SilverMK2**

I am currently building a modular valley table. It will be interchangeable (thanks to the wonder of removable hills with trenches in, and replacement hills with no trenches in) between a kind of WWI table for 40K, and just a muddy valley for WHFB.

**ultramarinelord**

I do like city boards, they are fun to play on, but I chose forests as my favourite. I like a lightly forested board with a few buildings, usually a bastion and a skyshield pad or something.

**Helbrecht**

I like urban city type tables, because I like the assaults from the windows of buildings, and blockades on the roads, I just think it looks cool

**Cheese Elemental**

Snow and rocks, everywhere. Just like Russ intended!

**garret**

Aslong as it is nice and flat for my bike to get through im good.
But if anything plains would be preferred.

**Xero524**

Whatever looks cool is good, doesn't matter what pseceifc type, although I do have a soft spot for cities.

**FRENCHY147**

I voted forest because I play wood elves.

**Kapitan Montag**

ROUGH! in da jungle in da jungle in da jungle inna inna jungle ROUGH! in da jungle in da jungle! etc.

Gotta love it, take me back to the 90s!

Jungle is MASSIVE!

**HoverBoy**

I like deserts especially with buildings halfway buried in them.

**Shake Zoola**

makes no nevermind to me ever

**Cryonicleech**

Daemon World Terrain.

Nothing like fighting on a planet that wants to rip the feth right outta yah.

**Blarglord**

I hate trees. And my game store is infested with em. Granted we can take em off, but I get one guy that wants to play in the forest. Too dang hard to get my Orks through that.

**lowkey48**

Although I have nothing against trees and the hippies that seem to always infest them, urban games always seem to have more tactical options which leads to a funner game for all involved imo.

**Neith**

Mine's a mix of Urban and Desert- the battlefield I play on most of the time is meant to be an abandoned small Imperial settlement in what now is a wasteland with very little life remaining.

It's a good mix of open ground and tight areas of cover- makes for great battles for objectives.

**Squig_herder**

I have based all my nids on a ash/death with a little snow world [examples are in 4th edition rules book].

But I havent played on a grass table or daemon world for such a long time, I almost crave it

**Oldoneeye**

I play Tyranids so I need the cover that city ruins provide.

**Morgrim**

I went other. I'm working on a 'crystal forest' style playing board to match my dark eldar and the planet they spend a reasonable amount of time on. So purple plains studded with crystals, a sort of greeny teal coloured ocean and tint to the rivers, odd mushroom style trees... I'm trying to make it look alien. There may be at least one hive and some agriculture on it, but that doesn't mean it needs to look like Mars or Terra.

**Happygrunt**

I like Urban, but the WWI hell hole sounds very appealing as well.

**Master Llyons**

Urban or desert or forest ruins.

**Outcast115**

Urban, I make my own

**NidMaster40000**

My table usually just has a few buildings that we made. They're damn good, but we need more of them!
