I would like to one day play on an industrial or urban theme terrain that is not totally in wrecked and ruins like you see in most gaming stores that support 40K products.
As such I am compiling a list of terrain that I may purchase to fulfill such desire them for my own future reference. The goal is to make them as thematic as much as possible as I find many 40K tables lacking the details that bring the table to "life".
Now what do I mean by that. Simply put most 40K tables are put together for the sake of having pieces of terrain to block LOS or provide cover. It either makes no sense for it to be there. Or even if it is themed, it often lacks details to flash out the type of ruin we are fighting over. A ruin city, should have more than just ruin buildings. Maybe it is just me but it gets old when we assumed every ruin city we fight in were caught in apocalyptic explosion and only buildings are left.... Wrecked vehicles, defaced broken statues or bridge that collapse would add so much more flavor to the board.
Also why are we fighting over a ruin city in the first place - again? Assuming if it has no strategic value... then what assets do we gain by conquering a ruined city? Wouldn't it make more sense for forces to battle over an areas that offer strategic value?
For an invading Xenos, the plan could be to steal the tech or cut off the Imperium's supply line.
Or sow terror and fear by striking into the heart of the known civilized Imperial World - several light years away from the front line.
Industrial Complex/Manifactorum/Forgeworld theme
1. Gaming Mat - Urban/Industrial
Option 1
2. Chemical Plant - Technolog
3. Power Plant/Power Generators
Power Control Room- More like an addon to existing building or standalone power control room
Power Generator Variant 1
Power Generator Variant 2
Power Station
4. Warehouse
Option 1 - Very nice Warehouse
5. Processing Plants/Factories
Option 1 - Looks really good. Fits 40K as it isn't so high tech.
Option 2 - Website states warehouse, but looks more like a factory with the chimneys sticking out
Option 3 - This really adds character
6. Water Treatment Plants or Water Tanks
8. Fuel Lines / Gas Pipes - GW promethium supply line
9. Vehicle Repair Bay
Option 1 - Vehicle Hanger
10. Imperial Knight Repair Bay - Most likely will need to scratch build
11. Misc
Cooling tower - This would add character but otherwise just blocks LOS
Admin Block
Security Guard Post
Silos
Container Cranes - Interesting but seems more appropriate for a Space Port.
Catwalks - Adds character and height to the board.
12. Neutral Vehicles - Power Lifters/Trucks/Vehicle parts
Toy Trucks
