Hi all.

Old skool 40k Epic player here and very excited for LI.

Is there anywhere that sells/makes scale appropriate terrain for LI? Would love to get a head start.

Thanks for any info.

Outside of 3d prints Warcradle make some decent ones in mdf (https://scenics.warcradle.com/warcradle-scenics/) scroll down for the Dark Assembly bits.
Drop zone commander terrain in cardstock works as well (https://ttcombat.com/collections/dropzone-commander/type_accessories).
Dark Ops make some MDF buildings to suit the scale (https://www.darkops.co.uk/collections/compatible-with-adeptus-titanicus).
4ground also has some stuff that fits (https://www.tymeagain.co.uk/store/wargames-terrain-and-accessories/6mm-microscale)

Thanks for the info. This all the right scale then? Happy to dive in but wary of getting things that end up wrong haha.

For example the first line and 'Dark Assembly'- unless im missing something, it says suitable for 40k/kill team?

On the Dak Assembly stuff there are pieces tagged 8mm like so - https://scenics.warcradle.com/warcradle-scenics/dark-assembly-8mm-city.

8mm is the nominal scale which is the same as AT so anything made for AT should be good for LI.

I can recommend Vanguard who do a whole bunch of epic-related stuff - though it might be a tad on the small side for LI? Works fine for titanicus at least.

Also I really really like Blotz's terrain - have a whole bunch of their 10mm terrain (for dropzone), which I think will work absolutely fine for 8mm/LI (given how chonky everything in the 30/40k verse is). But they do also have a small range specifically in 8mm for AT and which would therefore also work for LI too.

I can get some pictures of the 10mm buildings with some titanicus bits tomorrow if that'd be of interest.

The plastic terrain by Troublemaker Games (available through Vanguard Miniatures) is also a nice way of bulking up your cityscapes.

If you have access to print or can buy printed - Grimdark Terrain and The Lazy Forger makes arguably the best looking 6-8mm grimdark terrain there is.

I replied to this in the N&R section, but then saw the thread had been started here. This thread covers quite a few different options for terrain:

For my Epic/LI I have gone for a real mix of terrain types. Rather than just have a 'city' board or an 'urban' board the scale really gives you an opportunity to include multiple areas of terrain. Not only does this make the board look a bit more interesting, but it gives some tactical variety, and I think makes the narrative a bit more engaging. As a final point, it is also a little reference to the way terrain used to be arranged in the old Epic battle reports

Sorry for incoming photo-spam!


These are some of the classic (30 years old now!) Epic buildings. I cut out 'city' areas from a cheap PVC gaming mat to denote city and industrial areas, rather than just having buildings sat on grassland, and have these connected by roads - which gives more tactical options.


This is a mix of the official GW Adeptus Titanicus terrain, with some scatter bits from Vanguard and other locations, and I added some little dioramas. The train and tracks is from Grimdark terrain.


Assuming forest terrain will work in the same way in LI as previous Epics, I put down an 'area' for terrain and they you just have these little model railway trees in between, so you can move forces about in the forest as necessary.


For further variety, and useful things to put objective markers on, I added some ork villages and farms (although appreciate this won't be useful for LI immediately, you might then take the 'blessed path' and move on to Epic!



Finally a complete battleground shot (sorry is taken from a website and not my photo) that shows how all of the areas fit together. Hopefully should give some food for thought, making terrain for that scale is so much fun because it lets you do lots of things you can't do at 28mm scale, so hope you enjoy it!
