OK... I'm trying to revisit my chaos army again and want to do some sort of scenary that is multi-levelled. Due to restriction on floor space, I'm wanting to build upwards, but stuck on what I should do. I need ideas for all four chaos forces, Khorne, Nurgle, Slannesh and Tzeentch. I've already done a mountain for my Tyranids and planning to do floating islands for my Eldar, so those two ideas are sorta used up. So anyone got any ideas? Here is what i have so far Khorne - originally thinking mountain of skulls, but trying to do that many skulls will probably kill the enthusiasm. Nurgle - Swamp, but making this multi-levelled will probably not be possible, unless I add big trees and have troops on the canopy. Probably a bit beyond my skill at the moment. Tzeentch - the easiest really, floating disc cities Slannesh - Stuck here. |

If you have access to it, you could probably get some ideas from Dawn of War, there is a fair bit of chaosy stuff and a few maps floating around. |

Hey, got a some ideas for you (and might use a few myself  ) hope they help:If you cant face doing a mountain of skulls for khorne, you could try rivers of blood? Maybe with waterfalls and stuff to fit in with the need to build vertically. You could line the banks of the water/blood with skulls to keep it in theme, maybe use warmaster skeletons. With the nurgle swamp, how about a hanging gardens/swamps of Babylon/nurgle? Multi layered swamp ‘garden’  with floating bits and waterfalls of filth. Could even have the rivers of blood and rivers of filth from khorne and nurgle mixing at a join. For epic slaanesh terrain why not try basing it on life size body parts, have hands melded into the ground and various sensual body parts etc. - from a models eye view it would just look like ‘terrain’ but looking from above you’d see it all. That or make a massive noise marine mosh pit. Id also recommend reading the first part of Dante’s divine comedy for inspiration and imagery – for example the grove of suicides where those who committed suicide have had their bodies replaced with trees, which bleed blood not sap when their twigs are snapped. I seem to remember there’s also a  bowage where a great daemon eternally cleaves the dammed in two, after which they slowly heal as they crawl through filth, only to be cut in half again - some strong khorne/nurlge imagery there. Dante’s portrayal of hell actually lends itself far more to GW chaos gods than you’d image, since it is not until after him that our veiw of hell just becomes solid flame - Dante is far more imaginative with his punishments. |

Thanks for the ideas. I forgot to mention, I'm not that good at modelling  I thought about trying to do some rocks rising from the ground that is in the form of a hand. This way I can use the palm and the finger tips to place my stands. Not sure if this is Khonrish though. I like the idea of river of Lava/blood which I may try and incorporate. Guess I'll have to see how this will work out. I like the city coming out the swamp, but probably beyond my skill... how do I make it look as its rising rather than sinking?

I once used the "swirly blades" on top of the Dark Eldar Talos on a 40K model and found it quite exotic and Slanneshi, might be useful for decorating a Slannesh structure / totem.  For Khorne, something akin to the Dark Elves' Cauldron of Blood might make an interesting terrain |
