So we recently got the Know No Fear set and it comes with a cool mat and box-terrain. I want to update my existing terrain to match a bit more.

Currently I have several ruined wall sections made from some OOP GW ruins. I have them attached to foam "hills" of open ground.
I'd like to "replant" the corners onto more industrial or even cobblestone-esk floors.

Any know what I can get such floors, preferable 8-10" x 8-10" sections? Or even a quick/cheap way to make them?

One thing we're still to try was vinyl floor tiles from a diy store.

You can get ones that have a stone like effect and are really cheap for a pack of 5-10

Something like this



or this



I think each tile was something like 30cm by 30cm?

Greenstuff World do terrain sized textured rolling pins for cobbles. Put a layer of cheap modelling clay on some hardboard and go for it.

Or try some foamed PVC. It's quite squishy so takes texturing. Use a ballpoint pen and draw a lot of cobbles or stone slabs really hard and it should.leave a reasonable surface. It can by quite flexible at 8 inch size though.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

I actually have some patterns save that look like to-scale stone floors. I might print some of those to glue as the floor, but have the corner ruins with a bit of dry-brushed sand/rubble at it's base.
The only thing that might look off is that the patterns would be black/white (so grey stone) but I've painted the ruins in a tan/cream color and do not want to repaint them.

Here ya go Mario. Thanks for defending Mushroom Kingdom.

I myself have a crap ton of old D&D tiles made out of cardboard from a game I never play anymore. (weird used to love it, don't like people much these days) Anyways I cut the corners off each tile after cutting them out into one inch squares. They fit a base perfectly for 40k. You can texture the top with baking soda to get a sandy like stone effect. Baking soda and crazy glue..

Hirst molds, maybe?

Much more hassle than previous suggestions, though. Likely lots more expensive, too.
