How do!









Battlezone Fronteris is quite varied for a backwater position and comes with a Landing Pad, a Vox-Antenna, and an Auspex Shrine – elements that have plenty of utility. Tall, imposing, and perfect for blocking lines of sight, it’s also designed to fit into any existing terrain collection.

This battlezone is designed to give you a range of new terrain for your battles on frontier worlds or to add a little bit more militaristic utility to your existing gaming tables. It includes STC Hab-Bunkers, a Landing Pad, Vox-Antenna, Auspex Shrine, plus a selection of stockades, and will soon be available as a complete battlezone and in a variety of smaller kits.

Looks like it includes the intact building terrain which I think was previously only available in the Killteam box.

Why did no one page me?

Loving the look of the landing pad, big dish and the vox tower thingy. Not so sold on the 'stockades'.

Of course, it's another set of non-modular terrain.

Interesting that the landing pad is apparently obscuring, and that they think the antennae platform is "perfect for blocking line of sight"? Whoever wrote that isn't really clear on how LoS works in 40k, I guess.

I hate that while their event organizing team has basically acknowledged that 40k 9th edition only works on One Specific Terrain Layout (okay there's some slight variation but at the core the Symmetric City Of Obscuring Ruins aka SCOBR is the only way to play) these new terrain pieces do not fit into that One Specific Terrain Layout.

Landing pad could easily be made into a fighting pit for Necromunda.

Well it's only way to play if you are lazy and/or bad.

I think that the landing pad has also been designed to fit cleanly under the Sector Fronteris hab building.

While they're definitely not as modular as the Sector Imperialis terrain, it does looks like there is some interoperability between the kits. Besides the mandatory pipe connections, it looks like the Vox-Antenna and possibly the Auspex Shrine fit on top of the landing pad structure neatly, judging from the shape of the landing pad doors and the bottom of the antenna.

The Hab-Bunker also seems to fit on the Landing Pad, as seen in the background on the right here:

So actual brainy thoughts.

This is….kind of cool, I guess. I’m most visually invested in the ruins and ad mech stuff. I like the sheer scale of it, and it’s gothic hallmarks.

This stuff, for the now, seems a bit generic for my tastes. I mean I do not by any means dislike it. Certainly it’s reminiscent of early 40K homemade terrain, relying as it does on simple geometric shapes.

I think I may properly get invested once I’ve seen a full table of this, and I certainly do appreciate the stylistic variety.

I do like it, though they need to show off the bunker more.
The comm tower and tiny little platform seems a little pointless to me, but I like the rest of it, especially for not being ginormous towering levels to knock around on the table.

Efficiency is the highest virtue.

Looks nice, I'll surely be buying some. Landing pad looks a bit bumpy though, I have to figure that the ideal plane for landing should be a flat one.

Like most of it other than the landing pad - prefer the look of the Skyshield as landing pads go.

Of course, that is listed as "Temp. out of stock online" on the GW site at the moment...

The Skyshield looks bigger too but I never liked the "legs".

This one looks a bigger than the bastion base but not by much specially if you make 2 bastion bases side by side.

Love the new terrain.

The landing pad is great just for giving a second storey to the basic building. I also like how it doesn't really even look like a landing pad, and could be altered to look like a hatch with minimal work (since I'd be using it for Necromunda, anyway).

Hnnnnnnnnggh, I already have so much terrain, most unbuild, or half build and almost none of it painted. And yet, my brain goes 'WANT'. The sets looks pretty cool and I'm sure they are plenty modular with itself at least, their new terrain has been pretty on point with stuff fitting together like that. My wallet will be slightly less happy though I'm sure. To bad it's more imperial terrain though, but I guess the niche for xenos terrain is fairly small.

Damn it, same here, already have a lot of industrial and urban terrain, but loving the look of this frontier stuff. Sticking a bunker on top of a platform and on top of that a dish would make for an awesome outpost.

Well, this stuff will sell out on preorder anyway, so no need to rush.

I'm also a terrain addict, I bought a 3D printer specifically to print my own and stop buying GW stuff but that plan isn't working out at all, I'm still buying endless boxes of terrain.

Add in a couple of the quad auto-cannons from the Aegis Defence Line, and I reckon you could do a pretty decent 40K themed recreation of Planet P you know.

Doooooooooooooooon't, you're making me dig out WD220 again, my first issue and still my personal favourite, where in the soapbox section Jervis talks about having seen the movie for the second or third time, then goes into recreating it with Guard versus Nids.

feth, you just made me remember that I already scratch-built a twin-linked heavy stubber for just such a thing last year.

Looks ok I guess, although I do prefer my 40K to be more gothic in style.

Which brings me to this: please bring back Sector Imperialis - I missed it the first time and I need those beautiful gothic arches.

It looks like the tower and dish can socket into the recessed doors on the landing pad.

I'm curious if there's more than one variation on the wall section.

Nice! I saved my mekboy workshop, STC ruins & Octarius terrain in unassembled state for now because I had a hunch we'd be seeing something like this in the near future. It should all mix in neatly together into some nice looking industrial complex type of thing, especially with a bit of Zone Mortalis & Sector Mechanicus stuff thrown in

Now, all I wanna know is, will we be getting this terrain in the upcoming Kill Team box. If yes, it'll be a must-buy for me.

I know peeps are not feeling it because it doesnt scream "Churches.. in Space!", but I love it precisely because of that. Much more prefer generic looking scifi terrain over that stuff, its the only reason I never bought into Sector Imperialis terrain in the first place. This type of stuff + the manufactorum/vertigus buildings are much more to my liking.
