Hey guys,

I'm trying to find some scenery for a board I'm making, I'm looking to make a city based board so am looking for buildings, ruins etc. but would like to try and get away from GW items if possible.

Can you recommend anywhere to get some bits from?

lots of love

Pegasus offer a range of suitable ruins.

You can also make some pretty nice stuff just from foamcore and plasticard.

Dunno, FW?

All the below have a good selection though I'm not sure if quantum gothic is open or not, I got a load of armorcast stuff and its really good.

Gale Force 9 (now owned by Battlefront Miniatures AKA Flames of War) makes a nice set of prepainted ruins.

They are very solid (and a bit heavy) as if they are made of dental plaster.

They are not low cost though.

+1 for pegasus miniatures, lovely stuff.



Also if you are considering a specific board for this check out http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1084069684/tablescapes-by-secret-weapon-miniatures/posts
They have urban theme for their next stretch goal which looks promising.

I've seen the Pegasus stuff myself. I honestly like it as much as the GW terrain, if not a bit better.

No one mentioned Amera?

Awesome service and products

I like Armorcast's resin ruined buildings, I have tons of them. It's nice to not have buildings that scream "Grimdark Gothic!!!!" all the time.

Thanks for mention of our scenery, we have great reviews for scenery used for city tables, have a look at our fb albums others have found it gives them ideas https://www.facebook.com/pages/Amera-Plastic-Mouldings/339773496075836

Gamecraft miniatures also offers a pretty decent line of structures in 28mm. Most are more modern, but I recommend having a look. Its reasonably priced as well.

ETA: They recently started their "Tomorrow's War" line, it has a lot of cool structures that are more "colony" like, if you're into that. I recommend their products, I have bought a few MDF structures from them in 20mm, and the quality was great for the price.
