Let me "muddy" the waters a bit, ?but I believe G/W Fanatic is talking about making terrain for E-A! ?
What kinds? ?
Who know? ?

it's from a Fanatic newsletter
they have said they will produce vac-formed plastic terrain (aka Bellona). I guess it will be similar to the plastic bases you find in the AMT Star Wars diorama kits or in some of the original Airfix terrain kits.

why do I always shudder when I hear about vac formed products??
40K recently came out with a gun emplacement type piece, and it doesn't look all that fantastic, IMO. It's like they took a nice detailed resin piece and put it in the microwave for a few seconds... there's no real detail. And, there's no weight to vac formed things... sneeze and it's all overwith

Yes, again, Jimbo is correct!
I read that in a NL a few months back.
Some companies produce better Vacuform than others.
I have the Star Wars, Airfix and even the old G/W craters + others. ?
With a little work, bitz, flock, etc., some look pretty good...
We'll have to wait and see about G/Ws latest tease, they are very good at this marketing technique - "the teaser." ?
I think it's more of a case of that they have an idea but do NOT know what to do with it!

I did something like that with a Bellona piece and it looked really good (time to dig it out and get a picture).
One thing to weigh them down is to fill them with plaster (or polyfilla)._________________ Jimbo

Hi!
Why would Fanatic make terrain for EpicA when there are more pressing issues? Like getting the whole line out in 6 months?
You gotta wonder where their priorities are....

Making their tables look good and filling out their armies. 
Did I just say that out loud...
