I thought I'd throw this out as possible sources for models/terrain/bits etc for Titanicus. I for one am really stoked for its return.
While the initial game will not have infantry or tanks (popcorn as one giant monster game called them) they can always serve as terrain or players can look at Net Epic or other options. Or just terrain for the titan bases.
So...
The two companies that come immediately to mind are Vanguard and Reaper
Vanguard
http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/
Vanguard has been carrying several 6mm sci fi lines for a few years now, with some grim dark styled tanks, troops and robots.
Their new line of plastic 6mm terrain is a definite buy for me to build massive boards and city scapes. With AT coming that's now a must buy for me.
http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/terrain/troublemaker-games/
Each panel is 50mm on a side.
Then for tanks and troops
http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/defeat-in-detail-6mm/
http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/defeat-in-detail-3mm/
3mm but should still work
http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/microworld-games/
http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/onslaught-miniatures/
Reaper
I'm not a huge fan of Reaper's CAV line, but it's Bones and cheap so if you're looking to add some tanks and trucks for terrain it should work.

Other ideas? What scale is 8mm in models or railroads? There might be useful products in that direction.

Oh and I'll definitely be putting these toy planes to use for a spaceport.

Ah here we are, thanks The Miniatures Page!
http://theminiaturespage.com/ref/scales.html
6mm Equivalent to 1/285 scale and 1/300 scales. Miniatures in this scale have the advantage of being inexpensive. The small size also means there is less visible detail to paint. In this scale it is possible to put armies on the tabletop which give the impression of masses of infantry. Figures available for fantasy, historical, and science fiction. 1/268
1/220 Z scale (model railroad scale). 7mm
1/200 Another scale in which 20th Century armored vehicles and aircraft are available. Some WWII era recognition models are made in this scale. 8mm
10mm Relatively new scale, used for fantasy, historical and science fiction. Some think this will be the popular scale of the future, larger enough to show detail but small enough to fit a large army on a tabletop. 1/161

I've never seen the source for this "8mm" thing, so I'm going to wait until I've got a model in my hand before I start looking for alternative terrain. Having said that, I'm hoping the 10mm stuff I've got from 4Ground will be suitable, along with similar offerings from other MDF manufacturers.
If it is 8mm, my understanding is that "mm" sizes refer to the height to the eyes - the default height to the eyes of an average human being assumed to be 1610mm (from an assumed average total height of 1730mm or 5' 8"). So 8mm would be about 1:200 scale. The closest model railroad scales are going to be N scale (1:160) or Z scale (1:220).

Good to hear, these are attractive pieces of terrain but for titans they'll basically be speed bumps. The massive cubes of the city tiles make for cities that are a bit unimaginative (which is OK, I see the Imperium as being pretty unimaginative) but will block line of sight nicely. Maybe a knight can get some cover from the resin sets but not much else.
PS - if we can get some straight symmetrical pieces they'd work for all sorts of BFG scratch builds. Just throwing that out there.

Hah, I love the idea of fleeing civilians on the board! Might have to think of some way of putting that together for AAR photos..
Nuclear Shrimp miniatures do a great Gargant if you want something to go up against the titans. Quite reasonable priced compared to a lot of the old GW Gargants you now see on ebay.
They're big as well (bit bigger than the Mega Gargants) so would hopefully scale well with the new AT size titans

Whilst terrain is always ace, I'm waiting to see how the stuff produced specifically for AT pans out - both in quality, and size.
AT is about how you manoeuvre your forces, with a distinct onus on keeping out of LoS when at all possible. (at least, the original was!)
So nice as the above sculpts are, if they can't hide a Warhound or Reaver, they may not be right for the game

At 20UKP for the set you can cover a table pretty quickly, with the box set terrain added in. You can also do just walls rather than buildings to stretch them further. Of course insulation foam hills and mountains are always there are a budget option.

Difficult ground is useful, too - a direct route to the enemy, but you might get bogged down? (either in light buildings like these or in unpaved ground like wilderness or parks where your Warlord sinks to his ankles in mud.

Anyone know of any good 3x3 or 4x4 gaming mats suitable for this game? I've found plenty of urban ones but they always seem to have detail that is upscaled, one even had human shoeprints at 40k scale in the dirt. The resin tiles from forgeworld aren't going to be in my budget range, plus a mat can be folded up, I don't know where i'd put huge resin tiles that need to be protected from dust and cat hair.
I definitely plan on using the buildings they are coming out with for the game cause they look great. Apparently this game is going to need plenty of cover and terrain for the smaller titans to operate normally. My initial plan is to lay out plenty of buildings across a mat that could represent istvaan or a heresy mars conflict.

Post by: Pacific
Love that GZG vehicle transport - think that would look really cool with a couple of rhinos on it, as an objective or something.
Those plastic sets Kid-Kyoto linked are really good and most importantly very cheap - can see those being a popular option on tabletops for AT.

Post by: Darnok
I wonder why nobody has mentioned terrain options from Dropfleet Commander yet (or did I miss it?). The terrain is scaled at 10mm, so might be a bit on the "too big" side - on the other hand that makes it easier to get actual cover even for larger titans.
I consider the Ruinscape Card Scenery Pack to be the best compromise between price, looks and playability. It gives you a generic city board with "battle damage" in colour and easy to set up right out of the box, can cover up to 6'x4' table space and offers a huge variety of setup options - all for less than a squad of Space Marines.
It might not be for everybody, but it is very affordable and incredigly easy to use.

N Scale (1/160) is a bit bigger than 8mm (1/200) but there's tons of stuff.
And bigger means more line of sight blocking.

By that reasoning there would be no use for any 3d tokens and one should simply resort to card chits, but if they're already using models for the guns why not crew too?

While that is true, they are clearly styled on the same pattern as GW’s munitorum armoured containers, down to having a hinged ramp/door on the end with an apparent inspection hatch in what would be an extremely silly place on a building-sized pod.
It is really obvious and quite jarring, to me, is all.

New fortifications are out, they're compatible with the heavy rotary cannons and the heavy laser cannons.
6mm Novan – Heavy Ordnance Bunker
The heavy ordnance bunker is designed to be built into terrain features for increased protection and concealment, the reinforced roof also provides excellent protection for the turret from enemy air attack Typically found near large military installations and other high value assets they are often well camouflaged and difficult to spot until they open fire.
This model kit consists of three resin cast bunker components and has been designed to take one of vanguards heavy ordnance turrets.
Turret and figure shown for scale only and is not included.

Agreed, metal is nice for the weight in terms of scatter terrain and more civilian stuff is always cool. Civilian cars and farming equipment would be cool. Anything that helps push the scale, tiny food trucks would be cool too.

It'd be worth getting a friend or a commercial printer to do a run of the current kits so you can show the pictures of the finished prints. I also don't own a printer but a friend of mine does, one thing he pointed out to me is he's more likely to buy stl's if there are pictures of the prints.
I really love these, def plan on trying some out myself, also really looking forward to the stuff you previewed on facebook like the ship and vending machines.

I should find someone to partner up with indeed. In theory I just need a hobbyist with a printer and time to print and paint the models. I could supply him/her with the STL's for free.

The vending machines, amplifiers, and potted cacti will most likely be released later this week, if not early next week. The first two shuttles will hopefully be ready later this month. The third one will probably be done by the end of the month if not sometime in October.

One thing that works too is offering something small for free, like posting a free stl (this could be as small as one of the crates or one of the little dudes) and posting it all over, thingiverse and cults. Helps people remember to come back and see what else you're offering and they can test print themselves and see it how it comes out.
It's like those anti drug psa's when we were kids where the drug dealer gives out free drugs "first one's free"

Grimdark Terrain's stuff is pretty mind blowing! I feel it could work nice on its own, but I feel it's even cooler when combined with terrain kits from GW, Vanguard Miniatures, Troublemaker Games, and all the others out there. Just to give your city that extra level of 'realism'.

Post by: Jack Flask
Not sure how useful this will be, but I figured I'd share.
I assume most people who play/used to play 40k probably remember the Pegasus Hobbies Chemical Plant kit which was pretty popular for running pipes around your terrain.
I think I just found an equivalent in Epic/Titanicus scale.
https://pmoa.co.jp/product/223.html
Here's some comparison shots I took with a Vanguard Miniatures servitor and guardsman.
It's a little bit overscaled compared to real life but I think that actually works towards the 40k aesthetic. And if you just want the pipes there are also sets E (duplicate pipe sprues from A, B, and D) and G (even more pipes and a unique sprue of support beams to make elevated pipe networks)
The only problem is that I don't know where you can get them outside of Japan. The few export sites I saw them on were all out of stock.

New kits out!
Smallscale speaker boxes
These speaker boxes are great for those who'd love to kitbash in smallscale (6mm / 8mm). Whilst originally designed for 6mm / 8mm scales, these might also work for bigger ones. You might want to check the details when going bigger than 15mm scale.
This set contains the following parts:
- 3 types of individual speakers
- 10 individual handing speakers
- 4 types of racked hanging speakers
- 9 combinations of stacked speakers
- bonus worker
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/smallscale-speaker-boxes
Smallscale graveyard
Bring out your dead! This kit will allow you to easily build cemeteries in 6mm / 8mm scales. The necropolis structure and graves are modular, allowing for many different combinations to be made.
This kit contains the following parts:
- modular necropolis (crypts with terminal, crypts, roof)
- modular graves (4 graves, 4 gravestones)
- 3 caskets
- 6 dead bodies*
- 9 bundles of candles
Please do not share of sell these files without my written permission!
*one of the corpses might have an orientation issue on the faces, the software are contradicting one another. Which is why I've included two versions of it. Please let me know if there are any issues!
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/smallscale-cemetery-kit
Smallscale cacti
These cacti will allow you to decorate your smallscale terrain and bases. Whilst originally designed for 6mm or 8mm scale, they should also work for larger scales if resized.
The kit contains the following bits:
- 28 potted cacti
- 13 unpotted cacti
- 8 empty pots
- 1 worker
Please do not share of sell these files without my written permission!
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/smallscale-cacti
Smallscale vending machines
Even in the grimdark future one might need a quick drink or snack! These vending machines are suitable for many smallscale (6mm or 8mm) projects, but could also be resized for bigger stuff. I wouldn't recommend going bigger than 15mm without redoing the details.
This set contains the following bits:
- 10 different vending machines
- 3 drunk workers

Ok, let's see: printed one on the FDM one and another on the resin one. The FDM took about 13 hours >_>, and... well, it seems there were some issues with the models (I did actually need to repair the models when prepping them for resin, so it might be something about that). But FDM slicers tend to be very picky with files, so....
Anyways:
The resin building is proper chonky!. I think it would probably be better if we had the full building and the floor as two separate files (without the balconies) in various combinations: that way it would be easier to print, supports wise, and you could make the buiding thinner and save a lot of resin (you could probably make it half as heavy at least without losing any integrity). It would also allow you to print them directly from the plate with no or minimal supports needed.
It does look pretty cool, all told, and size wise it looks like so:
And the other sides:

So all four walls as a single piece and the roof still separate? Lemme see what I can do there.
As for the wall thickness, right now The walls are around 4mm (some parts thicker, some thinner) thick. Can I decrease it to an average of 2mm you think?

Yes, that was what I meant, that way you could even put it directly on the printing plate, and the floor separate would avoid the need of making anything complicated like holes to avoid straining the fep or the like.
As for thickness, I've printed full sized 40k tanks hollowed out with 1.2mm walls, so I'm pretty confident that 2mm is more than enough. Making the walls thinner would also make them easier to print vertical as a full building with supports, as each layer would be smaller. For a regular sized resin printer, I think you should be able to print 3, maybe four buildings without roofs on a single print (provided you print directly on the plate or put some thick base supports). Then you can print another plate with the floors and the balconies you need, and voilá.

Post by: Malika2
I was thinking of perhaps selling the kit with thinner walls, but do give the instruction of first putting four walls together before printing. That way you’d print a single piece building and simply add the roof on top afterwards.
That way I would still keep the very modular nature of the kit, without having to sell 81 different buildings! :p

That should certainly work for resin, yes, and even for FDM too (although for FDM it would probably be better to have fully solid buildings and let the slicer calculate tie filler). After all, it's easy to just put them all together in window's 3d builder or whatever, but thinning them down will certainly help, and if they're meant to be printed that way, the backs of the front and back tiles of the building wouldn't need the extra recesses that they have now, so they could be completely flat as the sides.
You'd just need to add them to the current ones as options, probably stating what's the expected working method.

Still hollowed out, there is no actual need to make it solid, I think, as it would mostly support by itself.
I haven't actually checked anything yet, just positioning and how long would it take to assemble the four pieces.

@Malika perhaps with Albertorius's permission you could post some of the pics on the fb page and relevant AT groups, the shot with the knight is great for scale. Also nice to see it in plastic and resin.

I am very tempted to do some other variant bits that fit into the building. Including a type of roof that will allow you to make the building twice as tall. Different balconies (including ones with plant pots hanging on them) are also planned. Haven't really thought of strippers yet

Different balconies sounds cool, plants sounds cool. Was thinking you could try and see what some of the AC units look like if they fit into the balcony slots. Also maybe little signs too that can slot in where the balconies go. I like the height just fine myself, in fact the wider one you preview on fb look cool too. Guess that bigger one is gonna be called beta tower hab?
As for Albertorius's awesome pics, it goes over better in the groups cuz it's more tailored to AT, and the scale is pretty informative. I know I was stoked to see the pics for scale, double stoked to see it in resin and fdm. Def agree it will be cool to see them painted, the wip progress shots help get people invested. Always cool to see a project come together.

I feel that those little details really make the terrain feel more 'real', sort of like how this scene gives it a more 'alive' feeling.

I haven't considered different stuff in the balcony slots yet, I'll have to look into that.
I like the height just fine myself, in fact the wider one you preview on fb look cool too. Guess that bigger one is gonna be called beta tower hab?
I was thinking of doing a few different building shapes using the wall components I've designed. The roofs would then kinda determine the shape of the building, but users can then decide which wall components they'd use. Was even thinking of trying out the roof shapes sort of similar to the old AT88 buildings.

I feel that you could really go all hog with those, now you have the slots: you could add multi-level details, for example, that would slot with the balcoly holes, like for example bridges to other buildings, or landing pads, defense turrets, new building faces for specific levels (for example, you could convert one level into something else fronting it on th balconies, like, dunno, a techier front), or big old signs and the like... there's lots of possibilitles just adding to what's already there.
@Albertonius, would you be cool if I'd feature your pics on my channels? Also, are you on Instagram? If so, I can then tag you as well.
Sure, of course, no problem , happy to help. I do not have Instagram, though, I'm kind of low key ^^. Mostly I have the printing and painting thread here and sometimes I post something on twitter.
Also, I did a bit of a hack job with the FDM one, adding some grass to try and hide some of the misprints (lower your expectations accordingly ^^):
The other one I've only drybrushed it so far, but I think the aswesome detail is now much more visible, so here it is:

Eloi Federation – Savage Banshee Detachment
The Eloi Federation makes use of a great many battle walker designs, fast, graceful and with incredible agility in comparison to our own battle striders, they are potent and deadly war machines.
This particular design is one of the most prolific machines fielded by Eloi battlegroups, Banshee’s operate in units of three with a piloted command unit and what appears to be two linked drones working in concert, although fully piloted combat teams have also been observed.
Armaments, two melee weapons held in left and right hand (sword/axe), each forearm also mount a light pulse laser, and two shoulder mounted medium rail cannon.
Set contains:
3 x Savage Banshee models.
Notes:
1. Resin printed multipart models with some modelling options
2. Approximate height, 67mms to top of “wing”
3. Plastic bases not included

Grimdark previewed their may stuff, they're calling it maychanicum. So far looks like some mechanicum parts for the crawler section of their big excavator model. The really cool stuff is the drones, which apparently the idea is you can put a couple on a 60mm base and use as a count as acastus porphyrion. Really cool idea.

If you think of them as laser, plasma or other energy weapons then it works. Size is only really an issue if you're thinking of them as kenetic weapons with a huge explosive force way out of scale with the size of the model.
Also I think they've got some renders missing as the updates list that there's some additional parts for their huge land crawler that they released last month - with no confirmation on if its just the upgrade parts or if the crawler is included as well or anything.

Maybe so, personally I would have done the big gun underneath the aircraft, with the smaller gun(s) on top of the carapace. Basically a switch around of the guns.

His hands are a bit tied because the two drones on one base count as one of these:
So the the weapon height matters in game, esp cuz if one of the two drone's gun is blocked the firepower drops by half.

He was going to post a preview last night but that never happened, he indicated aug should be done/out by tuesday. He's a new father so I believe that explains the delays and lack of updates/communication.
I think it's fair to say some subscribers don't love being charged the first of the month only to hear very little to nothing for 3-4 weeks, the mechanicum release is still missing a building/bunch of parts for said mystery building, so I think there's some substantive concern that release dates have been lagging more and more, it used to be the most it was delayed was a handful of days. I'd be ok with him doing every other month or half months or something but it's a bit frustrating. Hard to get hyped for something with little to no preview. Great designs though.
77922
Post by: Overread
Yeah it sounds like he should do a pause month and let himself catch up. Just pause payments for current customers, and charge new ones the regular amount and give them the previous month's release. So basically just one month being rolled over two months.
Once you're sculpting and releasing on the very last days of the month with nothing up front you REALLY need to pause like that otherwise its really going to harm growth. By this time most people paying attention are getting excited for next month's models and are dropping Patreons/Tribes.
Plus as they aren't on Patreon its even easier for them to lose customers who never remember to check their website out again. Heck I only just remember each month to check out.

Just putting a few of these guys together on some terrain. Sorry if these have been covered already in the thread ( @Malika - are these yours selling through Vanguard?) https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/civilian-workers-set-1/
One of the things I really like about them are that some of them are on little tabs that can be easily snipped away, for attaching to terrain. I think anyone that tried to cut around the feet of a 6mm mini, and sometimes removed the legs by accident, knows how much of a help that will be! But lovely little miniatures, I'm going to dot them around some industrial terrain.

Am I the only one getting flashbacks to the Simpsons Movie? Hahaha

I haven't seen that film but assume is it something related to Homer getting up to some tomfoolery in a nuclear power station?
Malika - am having so much fun with these little industrial worker dudes you have made and adding them to the AT terrain.
In this one a Techmarine is doing some work on a platform. Some Orks below are arguing about which one is going to go up and stop him, but means getting past the Ogryn bouncer who is standing guard!
I looked at the platform on the side of this tower and thought "Donkey Kong" so that is what is going on here!
Also well done for channelling the spirit of the old Streets of Rage 2 cover for the monitor-head guy!

Those look amazing! @Pacific
The lazy forger's campaign for their full spectrum dominance game launched
https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/full-spectrum-dominance-1309?fbclid=IwAR0qjjKV5P4s8-_b4vShtTea7mOLjtvNtOfQB58tkHoJATaHg6tEvjp7G7A
At the first tier you get rulebook/cards pdf as well some sample files of terrain that works very well when printed at 8mm for AT
You get a shanty and an apartment building, as well as communications building files that have been unlocked and are available for download immediately.
this looks awesome

That looks amazing Crablezworth. I have some of their shanty towns and are using them for some Ork buildings, they are certainly very characterful.
A WIP of some terrain I have put together. This is a mix of the Winterdyne/Grimdark Heresy train and the GW industrial set. The train set is really great, very nice quality miniature, and with some thoughtful spaces for magnets (the track is stuck to the surface, but the stoppers and train carriages/engine are attached by magnets). There is a little diorama going on with some Orks on the crane building and a Marine delegation of officers having arrived in a World Eaters train!

Man, this is really nice! Awesome to see Crablezworth's attempts at worldbuilding 'contaminating' others to do the same.

I have just finished some river terrain. These were from some very reasonably priced casts on ebay which had a basic paintjob, I added a bit more detail to it and some resin water effect for the surface of the water. Also couldn't resist adding some little diorama bits to make it fit in better with the Epic scale! had a Hellhound missing a track for years in my bits box and finally found a use for it with a rusted old hull stuck on the river bank. And the great little Ork pilot miniatures from Vanguard, and Ork holding a flare gun, gave me the idea of the crashed aircraft.

Grimdark just announced a collaboration with argonaut on some titan accessories.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good news everyone! I am very happy to announce the arrival of our first "non-Rudolf Creator" having his products on the GDT Website: "Argonaut" aka Jason will be selling his awesome Warlord Armour files on the GDT Shop platform.
"Argonaut" provides the traitor half of the community with what we all have been wishing for: Chaos Armour for Titans! Jason has gone tirelessly through a tedious testing and fitting process to make the files fit perfectly on the GW Warlord plastic set, we all like. The kits in the shop come (like all products) as STL, pre-supported STL and with supporting scenes, in case you need to add / change the supports.
There are big things to come in the future, because Argonaut is already working on armour panels for other Titan classes. Also, there will be collaborations of GDT x Argonaut for mutations and even more Chaos in the future.
Hitting the shop today are two new kits and a bundle:
- "Halo Kit" with a classic chaos star pattern and "evil -looking" heraldic shields (all parts needed are included)
- "Ellipse Kit" with a more heavily armoured version and a blank shoulder for decals / free-hands (all parts needed are included)
- discounted product bundle including both kits at a lower price
To celebrate the kick-off Jason has decided to give an additional 10% discount on the Armour Bundle for the next 48 hours, using the voucher code: AWESOMENAUT
I am super happy to add an awesome complementary product to the shop and also I am looking forward to what Argonaut aka Jason will surprise us all with in the future! So let's have a very warm welcome to him and fire up those printers for some Chaos Titans! "

Wow those look excellent, I can see them being very popular with the Heresy-era (or post-Heresy) AT players. Am I correct in saying there isn't anything official from GW of this sort yet?
Just a quick bit of terrain and little diorama I finished over the weekend. Hopefully Heresy fans (or people with a very long memory from RT days!) will recognise what is going on here.

So far, yes. You’d think there would be, considering that they have all those extra weapons already and some of their first vehicle accessories were extra armour for things like rhinos and predators.

Yes mate thats it! That stumped the B&C forum, you are the only person to get it. Berserker letting the 'Nails get the better of him with some local workers, Field Police is giving a final warning before he gets 'ultimate sanctions'.
@Malka - great job on those buildings btw! Full of detail. I have them setup as a kind of residential zone next to the factory area.

Yeah, anyone familiar with Troublemaker's history will understand what's happening here. They (He? is it still just Ben?) know exactly what they're doing these days. Having a reliable source of good-quality purchasable PLASTIC ork stompa and gargant components is something pretty much every epic ork player has dreamed of for over a decade now, and Troublemaker is really the only outfit capable of pulling off such a niche product in plastic.
I've been consistently (and pleasantly) surprised how many epic players still rely on physical models, and Troublemaker's existing plastic line caters specifically to this market. As a 3D printer myself, I'd never print the kind of stuff I could just buy in plastic from Troublemaker - their plastic terrain is genuinely awesome.
The Troublemaker aesthetic has, in the past, been on the unique end of the spectrum with stompa/gargant models though - and I think it's clear this campaign seeks to address that issue once and for all. And to be fair, I also feel like the straight "pile of junk" aesthetic for ork gargants, while cool in itself, is a little unnecessary in print. The print versions above look fine enough, but there's no room for hands-on tinkering with prints like this, the way most ork players are wont to do. With the plastics, although their base structure is much more clean, there's FAR more potential for hobby-work (which I think this market will appreciate).
I'm always printing extra bits to add to my gargants anyway, so a clean base to work with would go a long way in both respects, I'd say.
Not sure I'm into the idea of a "boxed game", and would probably rather just by a baggy full of sprues, but I can see why they might choose this route to cover initial expenses.
And to be honest, Troublemaker's plastics are so good now, I'd be keen to see them tackle a remake of their plastics orks. I think they're ready for that.

Yeah, it's different end users too, the plastic stuff is more tangible for people who may not have a printer and both probably will work well together for kit bash.

The boxed game aspect is interesting, the previewed rules seem fun, and being able to keep track oh the base is a cool feature. I agree it'd be nice if there was an option for people who don't quite want the total contents, like just one half or the other. Their terrain really is great, love that they'll do plastic sprues where everyone else just wants to do stl's.

Very well said. I am supporting this KS with interest, there is a real lack of quality Gantant-type miniatures (especially for those without a printer) and this really looks like it ticks a lot of boxes. Hopefully a fun game in its own right too!
