hi all, working towards an epic mega battle in the summer, i have started buying up bits and pieces of terrain. i have a stack of buildings from the old boxed sets, a set of walls some roads and paved tile areas plus some misc ruined plaster cast buildings. we want to have a city to fight over, but i would like to have parts of the city to be objectives rather than just a big mill up around buildings.
heres some of the areas i was thinking.

1 power plant
2 airport/starport
3 industrial area (tank/titan manufacture area)
4 food/water storage/production
5 administration/palace/hospital

looking for advice on suitable companies who have 6mm buildings who might fit with the 5 areas above, or even tutorials on suitable buildings for each area?

any info appreciated

many thanks

John

Make sure you dig through all sizes as there's a ton of 28mm stuff that works just dandy in other scales

In addition a bunch of stuff is easily scratch built as well

Roads: .25mm tile plasticard cut for sidewalks glued onto .5-1mm polysty sheets makes fantastic durable roads
Industrial: Packaging materials, lids/bottle covers, the little plastic bit they put on pizza deliveries, old broken electronics, etc all make for good parts and basis of industrial sectors

Hi!

It reminds me of the evocative terrains from epic's beginning in AT. Great stuff!

There has just been a kickstarter with very nice modular grimdark buildings. Sort of like the same idea I used in my nurgle plog (a few pages back), only much easier and better in most ways.

I used some wwII stuff from leven miniatures that when beefed up with heavier elements works quite well too.
