One of my favourite pieces of scenery has to be the Epic Cathedral from Forgeworld.
I like the fact it is based on the ruins from the Epic40K boxed set and therefore fits in well not just with the other Forgeworld buildings, but also the ruins. Other bits are from the Imperator Titan which adds to the Imperial feel of the building.
It is a hefty piece of resin and certainly dominates the battlefield.
Stormseer from the EpiComms forums has spent quite a few weeks now working on an Adeptus Mechanicus Research Base.
This picture is just one part of this huge creative exercise and shows the satellite dish.
Textured wallpaper is great for adding texture to flat surfaces.
An easy to get some is to pop to your local DIY store or even department store and get a sample of the wallpaper, you could very easily get at least a metre as a sample.
Pop to every store local to you and you will have more than enough to last you for lots of projects.
In my garage (as I suspect is the case with many gamers) is a load of old gaming stuff. Much of the good quality stuff has been sold on eBay, however in a box is one of my first terrain experiments for 6mm games.
I was once inspired by an article from Miniature Wargames issue #13 in which a gamer had described how he created some superb WWII terrain tiles. Taking his cue, and using 10mm cork tiles I created a series of 6mm terrain tiles with hills, hedges and roads.
Incorporating cork bark, some of the hills had rocky features. The “grass” was flocked and then painted (to keep it in place) and then drybrushed.
It worked well except for one major flaw!
Some of the cork tiles warped making it very unuseable. Eventually they were replaced with commercial flocked tiles.
