I've come to realize I own an embarassingly small amount of terrain for my home games (currently consists of 2 pieces of old terrarium decor for my lizard and an unpatined chapel from reaper miniatures...), I wanted to know if any of you had purchased the AOS Sigmarite Mausoluem and if you could vouch for the set, or steer me away from it.

I've tried to look at various unboxing videos but they don't tend to show the completed set next to any models for size reference. It looks like a lot of buildings, fences, and satues... but I don't want tiny things that can't be used a decent LOS blocking terrain.

I'd love if anyone has a set and could photograph it completed next to a humanoid sized miniature

Also, are there any special ingame rules for this terrain?

The garden of Morr is a good kit. Here's a picture:

Thank you! That gives me a much better idea of the scale.

I dont own it but imo it is the bigbrother of the morr kit.
plus morr is direct only(unless you get it pre owned)
You could prolly spread out the mausoleum on your board, a house here, a wall there, dont need to be all parts in 1 tiny square.

Mausoleum dont have any rules but morr has but it benefiths only death grand alliance.
(tough you dont have to use the rules for it if dont want to)

you can find all scenerys that has rules here

It's actually two Garden of Morr kits for a $19 savings if bought individually.

The second model from the left is a mantic orc on a boar. It is the closest one to a human sized model in AoS compared to the other ones beside it. Every one except the prosecutor hides completely behind the wall and mausoleums. Take a look at the kit first though - you get fences aswell as walls so it's not completely LOS blocking piece. I'd say that 2 gardens (or 1 sigmarite mausoleum as it is packaged) is the most you'd want before getting repetitive with the terrain.

Unless he wants a spesific themed board i agree.

Go out and find some rocks or make something from foam to add it as the last pieces.
terrain is fine but too mutch and it becomes a problem.

Thank you all. Frozen, do you think 1 piece, of some form of terrain, per 1'x1' would be excessive?

Here is the last battlefield we used (corpses and soldiers removed for clarity)

That looks great! I want to eventually make a table like that, but with autumn colors!

Thanks, yeah we use 4x4 most of the time (no points either) for regular and skirmish, but this is an old realm of battle board (the other 2 pieces are the same scheme) with static grass and the skull pits filled, most of the terrain is either hand made foam or Christmas trees bought cheap. but basically that is the terrain density we maintain for AoS. It works fine for us. you could easily and not much more expensive do that for Autumn.

If you mean building and large forests then yes that is fine.
hills naturaly dont count towards this nor do walls.


Where you place the terrain has mutch more to say then how mutch terrain you use.
you want it to impact the tactics both of you have to make, but not so mutch that it becomes a issue to play.
