Terrain Companies

[pug]

Hi Guys

I am a decent painter but lack building skills on the terrain front. Can you guys post me some links to some decent scenery sites. I just want to buy them, no tutorials. I don't mind painting them or how much they cost, I just want some desert style buildings to fight over. Even better if mongoose will make some and box them up.

Cheers guys.

for buildings there is a great article in one of tha wargames magazines this month on how to do this scale urban terrain, they used http://www.amera.co.uk/ and i am probably going to order a ton of it soon myself.

Cresent Root is about your best bet for prepainted terrain. There are other suggestions here:

Yup, Amera stuff looks good - very cheap too.

You could also try:

Pictors Studios blanks. Slap some textured paint and a few details on, and you have some generic Middle Eastern adobes. You could use a polystirene dome from a crafts store to make one of the square buildings into a mosque.

Crescent Root. Resin, available as pre-painted or unpainted, with metal removable roofs and doors. Expensive, but probably the best looking out there. The unpainted ones are more affordable.

CNC Workshop. Australia-based, so check the site for local pricing and distributors. These are pre-cut MDF panels that you assemble and paint yourself. Some pretty nice stuff in there - a couple of combo packs should give you a good battlefield.

Flying Tricycle. Another good source for cheap ruined building pieces. Depending on conversion rates and shipping you might get a better deal here than at Amera.

That's awesome. I HATE cutting foamcore and that's just cheap enough to be tempting.

I'm starting with unpainted Crescent Root buildings. Not a bad price and with instructions from Mark, EASY to paint.

Hovels sell a range of Middle eastern buildings that would work - they are 25mm scale but should be ok - and you can buy them painted or unpainted.

Forgot about those. I must have the tomb. Looks really easy to paint as well..

just wondering: has anyone actually ordered products from crescent root? The reason i ask is because i ordered stuff from a site recommended on these forums and havent received it. (its been over 2 months) I really like their stuff but i dont want to get the shaft again.....so to speak. thx

 

[Court Jester]

After two months it's really time to start callinh and emailing:S

I've ordered from crescent root. I ordered about 7 painted buildings. I got an email stating that there was some backorder issues or something. but they still shipped quickly, were well packed, and they seemed to be a big hit at a local con where I ran a game using them.

dont forget ebay

28mm building seems to work well it seems

for example http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/28mm-Arabic-Indian-Mutiny-Wargames-Buildings-Scenery_W0QQitemZ290078661351QQihZ019QQcategoryZ56363QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Those look very nice. Too bad they're in Australia.

I just picked up a 5' x 8' Crusader Warboard from http://www.war-zone.com.

I've gotten several terrain sets from them over the years for WH40K, Ogre Minis and SST. Plus I have purchased a couple of gridless mats to lay out over it for ACTA and VAS.
