LoS blocking and more. They have an L-shaped building, and shipping crates. They're all rather stackable and nice.

The ITC is just the gift that keeps on giving, linky link: https://www.frontlinegaming.org/itc-terrain-series/

You can see the base floor has a lack of windows, good LoS blocking. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8429738.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8429738.page GMT Good places to get ruined buildings?

How sturdy are they? They're one of the few I've actually looked at.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8429760.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8429760.page GMT Good places to get ruined buildings?

Well I haven't used them myself, so I can't really say, but they're made to stack and then nest for storage, along with constant tournament use, so I'd assume they're designed to be sturdy enough to withstand most things.

I'd say ask Reece as he's on here a lot, but the LVO is happening this weekend and he probably will have his hands full with that. That being said, they'll probably be using a lot of that terrain during the event, which will be a good functional test. More so, I'm guessing if it isn't sturdy, or there's some defect, they'll make it right as it's their own product.

Edit: They're also releasing a full stack-able building that can be made into sky scrapes if you want. The only issue is their buildings are all boxy, but I guess that's a cost and functionality thing. A mix of the L shapes and full stacked building would be pretty cool, the L shapes can be open to move into, while the stacked ones could be just LoS blockers you can't really move into. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8429775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8429775.page GMT Re:Good places to get ruined buildings?

$20

Personally I'm a huge fan of Pegasus' gothic buildings. Their ruined building will give you 2 corners each with a second floor for $20. They cover about a 2 or 3 square feet.

The ruin kits are not as flexible as the Gothic buildings which I just love

but are cheap, big, good and paint up fast.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430010.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430010.page GMT Good places to get ruined buildings?
They usually are ancient/fantasy rather than modern/SF/gothic, but they are quite cheap and come ready painted so if you want to get cracking quickly they would be a good choice.

Very, other than the parts that fill in the doorways and windows (very thin cardboard, effectively). I've had no issues even standing my Stormsurge on top of them. The upper level slots in to the lower one and does not move about at all. I'd have no concerns about these other than perhaps transporting them.

If you're building them, I'd suggest wood glue rather than superglue though ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430484.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430484.page GMT Good places to get ruined buildings?

Very nice plastic casts, completely modular etc. really nice for 40k. You have different option types e.g. ruins, habitat, etc
I think, but not 100% sure, that adepticon use or will use this.
Ah yes, here:

I made a bunch of them last year because a store my friend opened wanted to get into 40k, but needed terrain. So we used his extra boxes that his inventory came in.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430650.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430650.page GMT Good places to get ruined buildings? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430718.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430718.page GMT Good places to get ruined buildings? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430907.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678878/8430907.page GMT Good places to get ruined buildings?

Best place to get ruined model buildings is to go to a university and find the architecture class. Bring a hammer.
