Hello
I would like to build my own 40k table, so I would need some scenery.
I am looking for Epic 40k cardboard buildings with plastic roofs or any other 6mm gothic, 40k like buildings. They can be plastic, resin, whatever.
I am from Poland so shipping might be a dealbreaker for me so please make sure you could send your stuff for reasonable price.

Cheers
Kuba

Have you tried the internet for buildings, i am sure some are on there, you can print them off and back them with card, for the roofs plasti card can be used. ;)

Buildings wise, I have done the resin stuff and to be honest after buying the Vanguard lazer cut mdf stuff i would not go back to resin now, lightweight, cheaper and has a better effect imo ;)

Just some ideas ;)

Thanks!
MDF buildings from battlescen designs are out of stock at vanguard, sadly.
To be honest I reallly like how original cardbouard buildings looked like so I am trying to find some for cheap. There are some on ebay but they are mostly too exepnsive.

Have you looked at the cardboard city from drop zone commander. A ton of buildings and tiles for a really good price.

Thanks for offert but I would rather do my own buildings ;)
The shipping would also probably be very expensive

oh well I actually meant I could make you custom stuff but those are up for grabs certainly.

oh no worries. I thought you meant you were looking to get custom made terrain, didnt know you wanted to make your own.

I mean if I wanted to get some homemade buildings I can do them myself. And dont ge me wrong, I really do like your terrain, but when i would have to spend money I would rather buy some premade resin or cardboard buildings or just some materials to make my own.

And, since I am rather new I will always appreciate some tips regarding scratch building ;)

Actually you can just download the templates from the hawk Wargames website and print the buildings off on card at home. Even better, you can rescale them to be 6mm by reducing the aspect ratio.

In other news: I have 3 taped together and 4 unbuilt SM2 buildings that I can spare.

Ink is the most expensive liquid on the planet. It is cheaper to just buy the buildings than it is to print them.

The problem is for our esteemed OP that international shipping has a pretty pricey minimum entry. His victory conditions are different than most in this regard so it might not be bonkers to print himself, under the right circumstances . Like you and your access to 3D printers really makes it far more attractive than it is for many others.

Not even close. Chanel no.5 is at least 4x more expensive per ml.

Various rare Animal venoms are actually the most expensive liquids on the planet. To the tune of anywhere from 150 - 300 times more expensive than ink. That's assuming you didn't buy a printer capable of using much cheaper generic cartridges

No that it still isn't hellishly expensive for what it is.
