I got this stuff - http://www.wargamestournaments.com/product/slot-and-stack-industrial-terrain-set/ - for the price I couldn't me more happy with it. I have some TT bits on order as well - hoping it will be as good.

Edit:I got mine on sale at £75 plus a tenner p+p. Still good at a hundred, but I've seen them have a sale since so maybe wait until an event.

That's......that's an impressive amount of gubbins...

How does it hold up to repeated assembly and disassembly? I ask because I've never worked with MDF terrain (aesthetics put me off, but necessity, as already covered)

So as it turns out there are some pretty amazing looking Shadow War setups out there.

Those look so amazing. I hope GW do some kind of bargain bundle with the new Necromunda that means you can pick up a decent amount of scenery like the shadow wars box.

i base mine on another sheet of MDF - all built to a single level. They are designed so additional levels slot in, or the low wall sections if desired. I'm not really using the small bases because I'm happy with having semi - set buildings, and I'm adding detail from other ranges.

As an aside - if you chop the tags off a Necromunda bulkhead's top and glue a piece of lolly stick to the top they match almost exactly, so that gives you even more textures to work with.

My evil plan is to print out a whole lot of PDF terrain, and letting the players take and build as they see fit - and letting them keep any builds, if they want.

When Platform Command was brand new and shiny, I built a piece of Necromunda terrain that was four foot on a side, and two and a half feet tall, doing it in an amazingly short time....

It was only after I slowed down that I realized that I was also running a fever, and had entered what I can only call a state of creative dementia....

Nice build, and it saw use for several years - then got taken over by a small horde of children, and died a slow, but happy, death.



The Auld Grump

I would really like to see Kickstarter projects consisting of MDF structures + texture printsheets bundles, so instead of very underwhelming spray "painted" MDF tables we could see a boom of AuldGrump like "textured" MDF tables. It is perfectly doable and as those printsheets could be delivered as PDFs and not printouts, this could be quite cheap.

Would be a cool idea. i know some one did a magnetic table system of 1x1 squares that does basically that for a tables base. would be too to have mdf buildings that have slots for standardized building parts like arched windows or panel details.

I've been waiting on this guy over at promethium forge to finish his kickstarter fulfillment, it's right on the nose for the old stuff and looks nice for mdf.

I know he tossed some additional railings into the ks boxes, I'm wondering if they'll make it into production.

I dunno. I like the SW:A and Mantic's industrial stuff the best. That they're plastic is a bonus.

And about this "5 inches per level" problem of Sector Mechanicus, my personal solution is to simply make "mid-levels" by cutting/remodeling some of those supports and ladders. Some parts of those sets are already half-height. It isn't cheap, but I like aesthetics of Sector Mechanicus the most of all comercially available alternatives and doing Necromunda terrain from scratch is A LOT of work, especially to match GW standards of detail...

The MDF stairs done up by MicroArt(?) for Infinity nicely match with the raised walkways of the industrial terrain IIRC. We used both kits for a single table and it worked well enough without things looking wobbly or unstable.

I have a bunch of this stuff I got for Space Hulk which is plastic, relatively cheap, and can probably be repurposed for Necromunda. I'm not 100% sure it isn't a zombie website at this point though, so I'd email them before you try to order if you're interested.

It's pretty dead IIRC and not friendly in terms of shipping outside of the US.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm....

Between the boxed set tiles and Space Hulk. Seems I'll likely have enough to do some sub levels during a game?

Also got oddities from Deathwatch and Calth.

Nice find on these. Thanks!

TTCombat have just shown off resin doors and that for their MDF range.

That has got my attention, as it at least partially overcomes my 'but it always looks like MDF' concern....

Lovely. I'm really impressed by TTcombat, their cost/quality ratio is already unbeatable and resin details will give them another huge edge.

I'll give another recommendation for TTcombat.

I've built quite a bit of their old town/ western and carnevale terrain and the fit is snug, the quality nice, and the price is affordable.

Some catwalks and bulkheads would probably pair up nicely with a lot of the SW:A terrain I've already stockpiled.

Most MDF terrain I've seen needs to be glued together. Its not designed to assemble and disassemble back into the original, flat components for each game. It would probably be easy enough to split a set into several subassemblies for easier transport and storage, but only to a point.

There was a KS not too long ago that did something similar for historical buildings (IIRC, it was fro 28mm WWII). MDF buildings with printed surfaces that the customer glued on after assembling the MDF kit. No reason it could not work for scifi terrain, too.

These guys do printed plastic sheet terrain

These guys do nice pre-printed MDF. Stores flat for easy transport and storage too.

And the news and rumours are...?

Yeah, let's take the terrain discussion elsewhere, folks.

Terrain is an integral part of Necromuna, though. I'd say discussing good sources of it is perfectly on topic.

In a different thread about terrain for Necromunda, yeah. Not in the news and rumours thread for the new Necromunda stuff from Games Workshop, no.

This is the News and Rumours thread about GW's Necromunda release.

The terrain released by GW for Necromunda would be on topic for this thread. Discussing products already available from other companies is not.

Yes please definitely start a Newcromunda terrain resource thread in the GW Specialist subforum. All this great info will be lost once a new round of news about Newcromunda comes our way. Best preserve it in its own thread elsewhere.

There are pictures from next white dwarf.. and nothing about necromunda.. very strange..

Thats a bummer
