I've made up a pretty good variety of urban themed terrain now. Its all modular and breakapart, so you can swap floors when they get damaged, and take them off to move figures around inside. I've got a couple different building styles so far, a classic brick building and a more modern "cinder block" style wall material with less ornate window frames. Here's a few pics.

Very nice!

Great job!!

Thanks guys! I'm working on a couple new designs. Almost finished a big warehouse type design and have all the materials to make a gothic window typre structure. Now I have a bit more time it will be nice to make some ideas happen.

nice but its a bit clean and crisp for the grim darkness of the far futur

I know, I know...I'm painitnup some stark grey ones as well.
You should have seen the pics when I still had the flower beds in the little park. The Emporor would have been proud.

Modular designs are great. It's like getting two or three times the results for your efforts. Did you buy some of your materials at a model train shop? I've seen some similarly textured stuff at my local model shop.

I like the results, they look good. Lots of people dont invest in terrain, which makes me sad.

Here are some uber-cynical remarks, if you really want criticism:

Those ones without roofs, either put plasticard roofs on them or make the walls look jagged and the interior look "rubbly" like the roofs collapsed. If you're feeling really ambitious, do both. Roof stays on until the building gets wrecked, then pull off the roof section and reveal the bombed-out interior when a half-dozen meltas convince you not to occupy the building.

Really though, don' t take my criticisms too personally. It's nice to see terrain investment in general.

I never take it as criticism, just as advice
I like the idea of the rubble on the floors. I was just kicking the idea around of molding up some corner sections of rubble to place down as the need arises. i guess I'd need some straight ones too for the center damage on lower floors.
On to the design table once more.
I do use railroad supplies a lot. Those guys have been into realism in terrain design since forever, and nobody does it better. I've always been more heavily influenced by writers like Dan Abnett, and see a more human aspect to the conflicts. at least as far a the Imperium goes anyway. Xenos can do whatever they want...
