One source, a French called Heinrich Kemmler says (translated by pazuzu over at Warseer):
http://www.warhammer-forum.com/index.php?showtopic=175861

We'll see soon the incoming of a very big building, another wizard tower, but with a very different style than Witchfate Tor.

Also Anselminus reaction:

Yes, terrain coming in December, but no more really info about all terrain and which universe.

Personally, I am not thrilled about another Empire wizard tower with skulls. I want High Elf terrain without skulls, but anyway.

EDIT picture is up

Yes, I own that one, but it is as fragile as GF9's Warmachine terrain. But I prefer the resin Elven tower by Escenorama and their planned Elven house (webstore is currently worked upon, so this link http://escenorama.com/ doesn't work ATM)

I'd rather have some new terrain that doesn't look like it is affiliated to anyone, isn't "very big", and can be used in both game systems.

That's really, really hard to do. Even highest tech Fantasy stuff will look like primitive Steampunk terrain, while lowest tech 40k terrain will look like prefab gothic terrain. Even High Elf buildings don't look much like Eldar buildings. Making something for both systems will look out of place in both systems. The only stuff they could really do it with are things like forests, rivers, basically anything without something made by someone.

Hmm... is December becoming terrain month

I too would be bemused by the appearance of another wizard tower. If they're not going to bother with race specific terrain (beyond Graveyards and Arcane Ruins), I'd like to see a customisable townhouse.

There are feral worlds in the 40k universe. I have played games using castles and such. It is 40k scenery that can't be so easily used in fantasy.

But a nice Town house or Mill maybe would have use in other game systems as well as fantasy.

They (graveyard/arcane ruins) were nice kits though.

I nearly bought the graveyard kit at full price yesterday so nice do I find it, and I don't even play WFB at the moment!

Another kit of that quality (and I will add value) can only be a good thing.

Colour me interested.

The graveyard is a wonderful set of terrain. I bought it on impulse, just as bought some of the other WHFB terrain kits, simply because it's so well done. Now I'm trying to work out a way of making it look more WH40k-ish, as I don't play WHFB. I think it might take a bit more than just sticking bits from the Cities of Death terrain onto the tombs...

Not sure about another wizard's tower. A millhouse sounds nice. Or, better still, some Orc buildings

Milhouse?

But I agree on 40k-ing the graveyard set. Seems like it would be idea for detailing the CoD kits with shrines/reliqueries and the like. I mean I have never seen a building that doesn't need more skullz!

The High Elf towers there are not GW new releases but another company's mimics.

Naughty boys to mimic every detail of GW's fantastic Elven tower kit
(actually we all know that these are GF9 models)

The ruins actually look more like World of Warcraft's Blood Elves architecture - which, yes, is based on the same High Fantasy tropes that WHFB's High Elves are, but it's some of the specifics that are slightly different.

The old battle who stole first from Tolkien

Actually it's that very WoW/Blood Elf architecture thing that I really liked about the GF9 models. But since my WE army is Night Elves...

I just hope any new terrain isn't covered from bottom to top in iconography. The wizard's tower and that eternal stair Arcane Fulcrum are so busy that it detracts from the look (unless you just paint grey/dry-brush light grey/dry-brush white).

Something more akin to the Garden of Morr, the Chaos Temple and so on. Not so much bling.

Hope we get some DE terrain. There's plenty to be made. Or even new necron terrain

I hope it will be a giant skull shaped tower made entirely from human skulls on a base of skulls. GW scenery has always been lacking in the Skull department IMO.

lol
Sarcasm overload, think George Spiggott wins this thread

I was actually hoping for some new 40k terrain soon, I really love the stuff that they have brought out like the bastions, cod sets and redemption fortress but some non-imperial terrain would be a nice for a change.

I'd like to see just a Warhammer house. Something like the chapel but smaller with maybe a couple of slight modification options and for around $25-35.

A good piece of terrain for both systems is the chaos hill with giant skulls around it and two spires. I use it all the time in 40k, but it's technically fantasy. No link, sorry, I'm typing on the phone. Someone who knows what I'm talking about can post a pic.

Temple of Skulls

That's the one. Perfect for both systems

That's generic enough to use in any fantasy or space opera setting.

I like Evil Stone Hedge better. But yeah it is possible to make good crossover terrain. The storm of magic gateway works too.

We don't need cross-over terrain so much, we need Fantasy terrain other than skull towers. Something like this:





Or anything from Warhammer Online.

So rather than skull towers, we get Elf towers.

Brilliant!

Why not elf towers made from the skulls of elves?

Or a new race of Elves called Skull Elves so you can have Skull Elf towers made from the skulls of Skull Elves in the shape of a skull?
