So I am moving soon and with that will come the much coveted Man Cave of Manliness and Toy Soldiering. I am also at the same time starting back up into fantasy, so I am looking for good fantasy terrain. I am 100% covered with 40k terrain as I have tons of buildings including enough modern Russian buildings to completely cover an 8x4.

Normally I try and avoid GW because the 40k stuff is rather cut and paste, but I have found the fantasy stuff isnt too bad. The citadel woods are in my opinion better than felt and pine tree stands as well. However I dont want to max out on GW stuff and have multiples of each piece. So I am looking for affordable, unpainted fantasy terrain makers. Unpainted isnt required, but it usually means a higher cost.

I have found a few manufacturers, including this expensive but make your buddies drop their beer tower.

$200 after shipping but I am starting Khorne and it just reminds me of Oblivion....

Oh my Lord I found their store...
http://monolith-icon.eu/store

Kobblestone also looks really good:
http://www.kobblestone.ca/

But its a bit on the expensive side as well, around $50 per building.

Anyone have any suggestions?

**Alpharius**

WHOA!

That store...

So much awesome...

Wow.

**GMMStudios**

Its expensive but Im seriously thinking about getting the tower. Considering what it would take to make it....

**radical bob**

I'd be willing to sell an organ for some of that stuff...

**Gamble**

Some of those look truely inspiring. Make sure you read the details though as one I was impressed with was a GW Watchtower with balsa wood. It's still impressive, but I wouldn't pay 200 euros for a GW tower with balsa balcony, if that makes sense. I'm too busy spending good money on FW resin that gets mis shipped.

**GMMStudios**

Thats another thing I forgot about. I recently made a FW order and in it were some terrain peices a friend ordered and they were a good chunk of resin for the price. The high elf monolith, orc totems and roadside shrines were all good deals for the price.

**R3con**

That store make me pray for the euro to drop even more!

**Dastardly Dave**

Wow... those look truly amazing. Not much in the way of 40k stuff, but a fantasy player would be set if he had a couple of those terrain pieces. Some fantastic LotR stuff on there as well. I'm speechless and may be forced to buy some for the sheer awesomeness of it all.

One question though, do they stock Industrial Towers and Space Corridors?

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Very nice
sadly way beyond my budget unless I do something drastically illegal and or immoral (guess there are some things that are legal but of dubious morality)
any hoo bostin stuff

Good point GMM
With a stong tail wind I reckon I could get something scratchbuilt but would take me ages
Nice finds

**Orangecoke**

Some nice stuff here (haven't bought from them)

http://www.tabletop-world.com/

**GMMStudios**

Woah that is nice....

**Motograter**

That ruined coaching inn looks amazing

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Must have been one hell of a bar fight!

**Motograter**

Blatantly over run by orks and a lot of em

**Brother SRM**

If you've got the scratch, I wouldn't stop you. That tower alone is gorgeous. Gale Force 9 sells a "battle in a box" or something similar which is full of pre-painted fallen pillars. I don't think it's too pricey either.

**Kroothawk**

Oops, finally found your thread over at Warseer and found it here hidden in the discussions forum.

Found the monolith (ebay and web) store independently just a few days after you and made a thread in the news forum. Expensive as they may be, I just MUST have their Dark Elf stuff!

I also own many Cobblestone buildings as my Fantasy Imperial village. Nice buildings prebuild (but sometimes hastily glued together so I had to make corrections

).

Two other main sources are Ziterdes and Vatican.

Ziterdes http://www.ziterdes.de/ziterdes/en/produkte/listview.php?catID=64&subcatID= (affordable, robust, light) with the best 28mm castle out there: http://www.ziterdes.de/ziterdes/en/produkte/article_detail.php?we_objectID=2763211&catID=64&subcatID=67

Thomarillion http://www.thomarillion.de/index.php?seite=home&unterseite=&modell=&pos=&sprache=gb_ (make the prototypes for Ziterdes and some other stuff)

Vatican Enterprises http://www.wargamescenics.com/ (25mm, nice and robust models, but garage company with some models OOP for a year)

Armorcast http://armorcast.com/store/index.php?cPath=121 (nice cathedral, but better known for 40k terrain)

Tabletop World http://www.tabletop-world.com/ (I own a few models, very nice, but they have realistic dimension so don't mix well with more symbolic buildings by e.g. Cobblestone, GW and Vatican)

Fenryll has some nice buildings, a.o. an Inn and a Wind Mill http://www.fenryll.com/category.php?id_category=20

Jenkins http://www.johnjenkinsdesigns.com/28JAP.htm (best Japanese buildings)

Pegasus Hobbies has one great Wizard Tower, prebuild, prepainted and very affordable: http://www.thewarstore.com/product43792.html

Hovels http://www.hovelsltd.co.uk/contents.htm (25mm historical, haven't tested them yet)

Some people might also be interested in Hirst Art ( http://www.hirstarts.com/molds/molds.html , plaster moulds), World Works ( http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/ , pdf-files for cardboard) and Dave Games ( http://www.davesgames.net/ , same), although these are a bit too fragile for my taste.

Three mat providers I can recommend:

Hotz Mats http://www.hotzmats.com/mat_1-euro_field.html (I use this one mostly for Fantasy Games and the Western town for SciFi, without grid and streets of course)

Zuzzy http://www.zuzzy.com/ look good, but postage kept me from buying them.

Sabol Combat mat "Sand" http://miniaturemayhem.net/2008/12/27/sabol-designs-sd-combat-mat/ probably just discontinued, good print, but some people find the big white www.saboldesigns.net" printing on one small side annoying.

So much for now.
