Terrain

You can find links to some free and not so free gaming terrain to download and print and construct for your game.  Ill also post links to videos on Youtube that can show you how to make your own.

I won't be posting any 3D terrain as I do not dabble in that aspect of the hobby.  Maybe in the future after I get this site finished and everything else on the checklist crossed off I'll add in some links,  but mainly this is just for Papercraft terrain.   Search on Ebay and google and look up plastic and mdf city building kits if you would like some more options.  If you are a 3D printer Thingyverse and Etsy would be the places to look.

 

Most of these terrain models found on these sites unless otherwise stated are scaled for 28mm gaming by default.   If are looking at getting them based on the miniatures I own which are 20mm scale,  I suggest printing them out at 86% their normal size and they will fit in perfectly.

 

If this is your first step into the world of Table Top Gaming and have no clue about what in the world Scale is, click on the button below and let Mel The Terrain Tutor explain it better than I ever could!

Fat Dragon Games

Heres a link to Far Dragon Games modern city set.  These are very easy to put together and can fill up  a table very quickly if you just want non-playable buildings.  These are also the city tiles I used to make my foam and cardboard tiles originally.   You can see the pictures of a couple of them in the photos I added in the blog section of this site.  Below is an Image I snipped from the Youtube video "Last Days of the Zombie Apocalypse".  Channel: "The Battlehammer"   The Street and Sidewalk tiles and the buildings are from this company.
