Yeah, these should be fine for use in any table top game. Typically these have been used for D&D minis and others similiar sized. If you want to make some serious buildings this is one way to go.
I have spent allot of time working with them and our local gaming club owns pretty much every mold he released.
Use dental plaster.
Give them a couple days to dry properly.
Use wood glue to glue them together
Mix black paint in with your water when you mix the plaster this really helps hide chipping (we are quite rough with ours sometimes they hold up really well considering)
use a mix of jet dry and water in a spray bottle to spray the molds before pouring this helps break up surface tension and results in less bubbles
Anything with Gothic in the title works great in 40k combined with his other basic blocks
Something like 40 43 44 50 54 55
212 and 311 make great necron terrain in the right colors
300 makes great bunkers

there lovely when we 1st got into these our quality and quantity of terrain almost doubled. i am working on a space hulk project at the moment with molds 301, 302 and 303 i'll post pics when its done
Hirst is a great product. The new Pipe molds should work great for 40K terrain, but both the gothic and sci-fi lines work for the 40K setting. The bricks also work well when mixed with the COD plastics.
Try to find Hydrostone locally - its the best/strongest/cheapest plaster.
If you have to pay for shipping - upgrade to a Dental plaster such as Merlin's Magic which is not only the strongest, but also comes pre-colored in grey or buff.
