CITIES OF DEATH...

THOUGH snow/ice WORLDS MATCH MY ARMY CAMOFLAGE

and open terrain is best for ARMOURED COMPANY IG

PS I like building the buildings (Bonus)

I like desert with plenty of rocks and ruins.

I also like the Imperium ruins, that gothic style. I don't know where best they'd fit though, as I'm not keen on urban.

Urban just feels right.

Much more of an City/Urban table person. All the little details you can add can be ridiculous.

A friend of mine built some really nice terrain pieces, especially urban ruins and some forests. So we usually conjugate these two style on our battlefields.

I really like the open plains when pulled off well, Agri areas are pretty sweet too, but i love gaming on "Military Instillations"; Firebases, Fortified positions, Task-Master bases etc.

I really don't have a favorite....i like all types of terrain, as each has its own flavor, that said, i find my strategies work best in urban

Nothing but narrow catwalks.

Under water atlantis style. LOL

City. Hide the important vehicles and then BAM! As soon as the enemy is 18" here come the StormRavens and the DC inside!

Write in. Trench warfare all the way baby.

Urban as cities are where the majority of battles will be fought...and I don't mean 6 or 7 buildings on a 4' x 6'. I mean CoD here.

It really depends on what game system being played.

Urban, it not only looks cool, but gernally makes the most sense because most battles on planets would be fought over the material/people/supplies contained within a city. Not all of them, but most. It gives me a feeling that more is at stake in a battle whereas fighting in a forest or desert just makes me think "So why is this a tactically important place?"

because they got ambushed on the way to something important (annihalation) or because there are hiden artifacts or the wreckage of a crash

i prefer anything other then cities TBF as i play cities alot (and some units become un touchable at the top of ruins making them broken slightly lol)

Ice worlds, though not just barren ice wolds, winter cities, alien ice forests, icy mountains etc.

Unfortunatly you don't see many ice boards around...

Ice world definitly, I always prefer this setting. Althou if it cant be used then Il settel for a hive world

I voted city/urban. Anything to break up the incoming hordes of daemons and SW to bring them into bottlenecks laced with lash princes and Thousand Sons is nice.

My next terrain set will be jungle ruins. I want to make a ton of sandstone looking ruins packed to the gills with modern equipment, covered in vines with some heavy vegetation around. I'm thinking some kind of lab or something where CSM were trying to manipulate stolen gene seed or something that has fallen to ruin would be neato.

I hate urban terrain. The models are really hard to place on it and there is wayyyyy too much cover

Just for looks, I like any type of style. Gameplay wise I love urban warfare type stuff... it reminds me of Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon.

For 40k Urban all the way. Preferably ruined, long abandoned urban.

For Warmahordes I prefer a more natural terrain setup. Ice, plains, forests, desert, whatever.

City/Urban = Favorite

Made my own abandoned dwarf mines! They turned out really great. It Makes me really want to make more terrain, I never realized how fun it is.

I hve always had a strange fascination with ice boards. Maybe it's because some of the first models I payed with at Games Day LA were Valhallans vs Space Wolves on an epic snow board. However, none of my armies have a snow theme so there really is no point to have them fight on a snow board. We made a Mars/Australia looking board with some ruins. I ike the urban look but more of ruins and scraps and bombed out shelters etc as opposed to a glistening city.

Lava field

I really like urban and icy/winter terrain

Deserts, with sweeping sand dunes and arid ponds, maybe a tribal village of somesort, i like it when it brings to mind films such as 'sea of sand' or Ice cold in Alex

Urban/industrial, all the way. The more like a sprawling forgeworld industrial nightmare, the better, in my opinion. It's the most interesting to look at, and seems to sum up the 40k vibe for me, personally. Although it has to be said that bleak, muddy, WWI trench system type terrains also rock hard.

Urban/ winter/ grassland mashup

I'm kind of stuck by playing Tau.

My Kroot love a lot of forest on the board due to their Fieldcraft ability (They get a 3+ cover save in the woods and trat it as clear terrain).

My Vespids are awesome in a crowded board because they reroll the difficult terrain checks they get whenever they land in area terrain, their save is only a 5+ without cover and the range ont heir weapons is similar to that of a spitwad.

On the other hand my Tau already have armour of 4+ are better so they don't need the cover save and the long range of their weapons demands as clear a line of sight as possible to be effective. Their Jetpacks and Skimmers, while being able to move over terrain really easy, are prone to taking damage if they stop inside it.

*sigh*
