I don't think those terrain tiles are a CAD job. FW showed photos of the design process and they're basically just sticking stuff onto a tile then taking a mold of it.

They could have even used an old metal Russ for this!

That's not one of the old style Russes. That's the new style

I feel like that terrain would be much more appealing to buy if it was not fixed to a resin board. Selling individual buildings would be both cheaper and more modular.

A sprue of destroyed tanks and ships would also be great for basing and sprinkling around a board!

Individual buildings are the plastic ones you can buy from GW. FW sells boards to put those on.

Honestly, I find the boards a bit busy. It seems limiting to me.

If I'm going to be throwing $$ at terrain, it seems a better solution to my eyes to go with a home grown base board and populate it myself.

Some ruin pieces for basing would be nice.

Do any of you buy those boards ?

Never been a fan myself, they seem pricey for what they are, I would love to see a bit of LOS blocking scenery released at some point as I am a bit crap at making it.

I definitely recommend DIY'ing the board and at least non-centerpiece scenery. Obviously you save a lot of money in the process but you can tailor your games to fit your scenarios.

I don't have these but I have the zone mortalis boards.

They are underwhelming for the price... I was complemented on my skill at adding corrosion to them. I had to explain that was where a previous pull had torn the moulds and they just kept using it. All I did was drybrush some rust effects onto those barnacles.

I've got loads of FW stuff, these are very different in quality.

Also, seeing the amount of distortion in those 12x12 tiles completely put me off from buying their 24x24 tiles and reports of sagging and twisting in the industrial sector tiles suggests I was correct.

These might be completely different but I'd want to see and handle them before deciding to order.

You all realize the CAD files of just about every GW vehicle are out there? I’m using some to modify, simplify, and print in 10mm scale for terrain.

Just a prediction...

With the recent Battlegroup box set, maybe there will be a follow up Knight banner set, containing 3 Questoris and 2 Lancers...£32-ish. The two Knight types are together in the new Command Terminal set, and if there is a resin upgrade set, maybe it provides for both of them...the Questoris only seem to be missing that missile rack option...

Umh the battlebox was just part of christmast deals. OOP soon enough and unlikely to herald another discount box in new any time soon. Rather soon there won't be any discount box to AT on sale. Until at least next christmast anyway

I suppose there is also the time-gap to get the Cerastus' restocked after the initial pre-order release. Even if such a thing is scheduled, it would be March at the earliest.

Yea I suspected as much I always look at the boards in WW, even the newer ones do seem to be a little warped and the best ones always had work done to add a lot of stuff to them. A chap I know has ordered four recently so I will see how he gets on with them.

Just realised there's a third Warzone 2x2 plate still to come.

We've had the cross roads, the recently released Warzone Beta is a T-Junction and the one shown below is a straight.

There is a 4th board, they previewed a work in progress at an event too, it looked like a giant landing pad.

That would make it 4 boards for a very nice 4X4 table.

Hope they bundle them up once they are available, like they did other terrain boards, to make it a little more affordable.

I looked about and unearthed this - this look familiar?



Could be it or it may be a diorama set up?

Thanks that's the one, nice to show us what they are working on.

They showed a train as well, might we see tiles to fit them to?

Really happy to see a steady flow of releases since the lauch.

That landing pad one doesn't really work with the road sections though, does it? I gues you could put it against the road-free edges of the straight and T-junction.

I reckon it'll end up as a 90° bend. The centre of the board edges line up and there is the look of roads on it

One train, no ideas if this is a scratch build or not:

Ive been known to spend a lot of money on silly stuff but no matter how much I would love to have those AT boards I just cant muster up for it :/

Its all about that AT train set. Seriously, it commanded respect of the entire August issue of White Dwarf...

Yup, that's the train with its atrocious "wheels."

I'm really hoping those are just a placeholder, because I think it would be fun to do a train station.

You got something against maglevs?

Given that they've produced a bunch of boards with roads on, and potentially some landing pads, I think it would be good if they'd make cars, trucks and maybe spaceships. Not so much trains, unless they are going to make train tracks!

It would be quite cool if they made the coffin-like titan drop pod things. those would be a legitimate option for a LoS-blocking terrain piece that you'd come across often in titan battles.

As would trees. Big trees are often as big as a warlord titan. We forget this because in 28mm games we use tiny trees.

And because we don't go outside (shudders at thought)

Just use the trees you'd normally use for 28mm games. A couple of guys at my club did that for a game instead of urban scenery and it looked great. Just need rules for a titan with a power fist uprooting one to use as a club.

Apparently Titandeath features Rapier class scout Titans (a 3 crew Titan lighter than warhound) and medium sized Titans called the Nightgaunt and Carnivore class.

Yeah, I'm building an Audax maniple, so I'm only about Warhounds right now. But I wonder if their fluff will get a retcon in some future book to allow other scout-class titans like Rapiers. I'm sure they want to sell me more stuff.

With all the talk about the FW resin modular tables, have you guys checked out this? I found it on another thread and am seriously considering it. It would be cool if he actually made one in AT scale with support for the modular buildings though.

This best part is you can do a 4x4 table for under $200. You have to paint it but the roads are about the right scale. I just don't care for the design so much.
