Ruins are nice, tiles will typically be a product quickly going to "unavailable online" for a while. They'll certainly be packaged the same than Necromunda, a nice flat box, so no danger of being warped and easy to put away.

Except that Munda tiles come pre-warped, of course

Guess you didn't have luck, mine weren't. And I bought 4 boxes at that time.

Same, I got several packs and they're all perfectly flat

Eh, I dunno, I find plastic tiles to be a bit of a letdown in actual use.

those tiles look, well they look like a flat tile with a road painted on and minimal texture. the 'cromunda tiles are nice and I want more, I seriously do not see any purpose for those tiles that I could not do myself from thin plywood or MDF and a bit of paint

Baneblade looks nice though

They're not completely flat, as you can see on the video. The gutters are a bit lower, the sidewalks a bit higher and there are also sculpted delimitations on the roads. Sure, you can do it yourself, but if you want to same result, it's not as simple as painting everything on a flat surface.

Like previous tiles for Necromunda, the point here is having a product ready to use directly and having a bit of relief still.

Glad to see terrain, but that is where having a 3D printer comes in really handy. I just need to figure out how to rescale my terrain files to look right. Plus I do really need to get a good FAT mat or something besides my fleece table covers.

Anyone know a place that talks about 3D files the correct size for epic proxies? I never really looked at epic stuff for printing, only Bolt Action minis and terrain.

With a little paint that road network would look great!

Multi purpose city tiles are great, actually prefer them as less 40K themed as I can use them for a lot of games.

Felt under terrain and felt rolling mat after a varnish should be enough to keep the sound down.

It’s why I keen for them even if the game ends up dead on arrival here.

So there's no terrain in the box set?
At least I've still got all my OG terrain from Adeptus Titanicus and Space Marines.

GrimDark Terrain are bang on for this, they produce STLs for use with Adeptus Titanicus and their range is sizable: https://grimdarkterrain.com/

This is going to obliterate my bank account.

Even if the rules aren't great, I'll happily use the stuff in Epic 40,000.

Yea



I got two about a year ago and most were like this

I'm really excited about those tiles. I've been planning to make my own, but these will be so much faster to prepare and the final result will be better than I could scratchbuild. The buildings look nice too!

I'm hoping that the DropZone Commander Cityscape I already have is close enough in scale to start with (the buildings are OK for AT).

Yep, this looks great.

Can confirm

Can also confirm. The cardboard tiles are a little fiddly and the way the fold up buildings are designed with little roof lips is bad and the buildings are hard to get square, but for the price it's still a lot of useful stuff.

Y'know, the two hounds in that launch set will really shine with that new terrain, strutting their stuff like its a saturday night.

It would be just another tuesday morning had it been super heavies...

But being serious, I'd guess one pack of tiles would just enough to get away with a very small game. Very interested in the ruins...

At first glance, I thought the tiles would be able to pull double duty as massive cities for epic and cramped alleyways for 40k, but I think there's just too much detail.
Which is good.
But also not what I thought - and now that the idea is in my head, I'm considering making something on my own that can work for multiple scales.

Terrain is looking lovely.

I’ve built some of the stuff from AT in the past. And whilst easy enough to work with? You get a lot of bits and bobs, so it’s quite time consuming.

Pretty sure they said this week is Solar Auxillia, so given today's article I'm going with Baneblade & friends.

I went from being interested in the tiles to "meh" pretty quickly, in part because of the size. 6 tiles only gets a 36x24 board.

Epic traditionally is played on the same sized board that you'd play a full game of 40k or Warhammer Fantasy. So either their rules rewrite is going to mean the game is more appropriate on a small board, or it's going to feel very cramped.

Or the game will play at 3x2, 4x3, and 6x4 boards at different point levels.

I plan to just buy four sets of the tiles so I can cover a 6'X4' table.

Honestly? I’m doubtful. We may see 40k’s recommended 5x3, but as Epic really relies on clever movement and manoeuvres, I think I’d only want to play on a 6x4. Yes that does mean I’m potentially on the hook for four of these.

Given that the launch set contains only a small army, then split into two micro armies for a two player game, then 2"x3" sounds about right.

Here's hoping that doesn't wind up being a $200 investment.

I have zero interest in AT and even less in nuEpic... but man that terrain is nice.
