cptkremmen Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 A little while ago I tried asking around about terrain items people use for their Malifaux games and did not get a lot of inspiring replies. So I went out buying stuff myself to see how it worked. This weekend I bought a games workshop, warhammer fantasy "Arcane Ruined Temple" or something very like that for £15 in the UK, it is an excellent model, tons of atmosphere and lots of spare columns etc that give excellent cover items to hide behind. I would highly recommend this piece as suitable for Malifaux. I also have the LOTR GW ruined cathedral thing they sell, also very good though I think not quite as atmospheric as the ruined arcane temple. For cowboy buildings in the UK I use Hovels, I believe there is a range in the US that may be even better but just not practical to get them over here. I shall consider this post well worthwhile if just one person discovers how cool the GW ruined warhammer temple is Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hey Andy, Some of GW's scenery is pretty awesome - we use the cities of death stuff for malifaux as well as 40k/necro. Althought I think the fantasy range of buildings might look better on the WWG terrain streets and sewers etc. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptkremmen Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Not heard of cities of death will have a look around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 It's a bit techy but figured it could be the Arcanists section of the city... Plus it doubles up for 40k D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptkremmen Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm a bit confused (what's new) Found an article on building a city of death, it mentioned city of death sprues, but I can't find any terrain called city of death? There is the moonscape and shell crater scenery, I have those, excellent pieces though probably not really Malifaux. Only bit I saw that looked quite nice was the "Walls and Fences" in warhammer scenery section, I already have some walls, but you can never have enough!!

daemonkin Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Cities of death (COD) is the term for the expansion of 40k in urban built up areas. The scenery is called Basillica, Manufactorum and Administratum. They later released the Aquila shrine/thing which can be combined with the rest. Plus they are sold by independent stockists so can get 10-25% off. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Update: Just posted a question to Wayland Games and they said that if the scenery is available through their distributor they will be selling it. *happy dance* D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heldrak Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Talking of GW terrain, I also like the GW plastic forest. The trees are appropriately gnarled and twisted and they have the advantage of being individually removable from their large plate-like base (to use as a Hanging Tree, etc.). Note that I don't bother with their silly flat foliage pieces, I think then look best with bare branches. The Warhammer plastic buildings (Watch Tower, House, etc.) are also passable for Malifaux, although perhaps a little too medieval-looking.

daemonkin Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I don't think the watchtower and chapels etc will look too out of place in Malifaux - it's perhaps the one game where any sort of scenery goes. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satyrwyld Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I have my old Mordheim terrain from about 10 years ago, very fitting for a town the Neverborn have ransacked, or maybe part of the QZ. GW's not getting another cent of my money, mind you, and the new Malifaux terrain to be released at GenCon is looking shiiiiiiiiiiny...

daemonkin Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I got 2 boxes of Mordheim scenery, unpunched and ready for when I move into my new house. Think it will go well with the new Terraclips board sections. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklemonkey Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I must admit I am very excited about the Terraclips terrain. I had continually put off buying or (attempting) sculpting decent wargaming terrain but this is a definate purchase. Given the amount of good stuff being released by Wyrd for Gencon it has made up my mind to finally sell off the last remaining vestiges of my GW stuff.
