Commercially available terrain
« on: July 21, 2010, 10:38:59 PM »
I'm in the process of collecting some terrain for my Warmaster battles and so far my experience has been that online retailers of 10mm stuff seem to have made a collective decision not to showcase their products through detailed pictures on their websites. As such I thought that a thread that brought together images/links to Warmaster-friendly terrain might be useful for all of us. In particular I think pictures of terrain alongside WM miniatures will be particularly helpful (to me at least).

While this is sort of a modelling post I think it fits best in the general section. If mods wish to move it please feel free.

So, here's my first purchase, some plastic N-scale fences produced by Kestrel Designs (KD13), at a cost of £1.99 for 30" of fencing. The pack contains five of these pieces:



As you can see they need cutting in half (a bit of a pain) and basing. Here's a based example which I stuck to a 1cm wide strip of plastic card (I used my favourite, but expensive, option which is the current modular movement tray from GW):



And here it is with a unit of Empire Halberdiers:




Tune in soon(ish) for the next exciting instalment... 'resin stone walls...'

Or better still, throw in your own recommendations.

YES.

Good, in-scale pics have been a real problem as I look to source stuff. The blog Under the Mountain does a good job but more pics (and maybe some central place to keep them) is a great idea.

I think it's a great idea to have in one post pictures for all the terrain we all have, specially if they have been purchased because it's difficult to know if it will fit to warmaster scale.

Today arrived my desert buildings I bought fot my egyptian table. So I want to share pictures of it with all of you.

So, let's begin with the 10mm Desert City in a Box from Kerr & King:







And then some walls, the following pictures are from the 15mm range, KK-022 Adobe Wall Set and KK-082 Adobe Wall Corner Set




Finally, all together:

That stuff looks great, can you give a link to the relevant website? Oh, and when they're painted it'd be great to see what they look like.  I'll post some pictures of my Realm of Battle table here tonight, I think it's perfect for Warmaster (it's much better for WM than it is for Warhammer/40K).

Thanks for the link, I'd missed it in your original post (obviously!  :-[). Having followed the link I must say that the price is amazing and makes the product all the more tempting. Shame I've just flocked my board green!

Here is the GW Realm of Battle:



I really like it (since this picture I've tidied up the grass and given it a blast of varnish. The only 'complaints' I have are (1) the clips that hold it together are fiddly, (2) it really needs a table underneath it so it doesn't entirely solve the need to have an easy to store table (thankfully I've got a games room  ;D), (3) the skull pits weren't to my taste (these were easy enough to remove with about an hour of clipping and gluing).

Hi folks,

I painted 6 houses fo far, so let me show you my work:







I have another 6 houses primed and with tha base color, ready to be finished tomorrow. Sadly the walls and the two bigger structures cannot be painted soon, as I run out of model air sand color. I have to buy it from UK, and I live on Chile, so it will pass a few weeks until I get it.

By the way, any of you have any of the tents from Baueda? (http://www.baueda.com/kleos.html). Their tents are on 15mm scale but I think they would fit to warmaster. Their castle are awesome by the way.

Another question, any of you had the egyptian molds from Hirst Arts? I want some pieces, but i dont want to buy the molds just for a few pieces.

Simple and nice looking.

Maybe more cream colour instead of grey ?

Another piece of terrain with suitable scale, hills from Amera Plastic Mouldings. Specifically F206 Moorland Pond & F205 Moorland Hillock

Here is my finished F206:

A couple of recent purchases:

Kallistra Bridges:





I quite like these, the higher of the two is a little steep for the models to stand on without sliding (the surfaces are very smooth indeed). Hopefully some texturing will sort that out. The models themselves arrived in good condition with no flash whatsoever and only a few small air bubbles that needed filling.

And here are some houses from Total Battle Miniatures:



Again, these are well made and required next to no preparation (there were just a couple of very small air bubbles to fill). As you can see they're not very 'Warhammer' and the lack of chimneys etc doesn't help but they'll do for now.
