Welcome to the world of Warhammer 40K, where you can unleash your inner strategist and engage in epic battles on the tabletop. The Warhammer universe is set in a dystopian future where humanity is constantly fighting for survival against a myriad of foes. With Warhammer 40K Battlezone sets you can recreate some of these intense conflicts on your own gaming table, or create epic stories of your own. Edge drybrush everything with a light silver. I used Citadel Necron Compound, but I think Vallejo Air Steel would also work well. Sector Mechanicus terrain: the end of the grungy metal stage. Credit: Charlie Brassley If you're a fan of Warhammer 40K, then you know that the best way to experience the game is through immersive tabletop battles. The best way to build up this immersion and create epic fights is with tabletop terrain, and that is where Warhammer 40K Battlezones come in. They are designed to be small sets of terrain that come with unique rules to create a more immersive and epic feel to your battles. The Warhammer 40K Battlezone terrain sets can be used alongside other terrain and accessories to create even more epic battlefields. How to Choose the Best Warhammer 40K Battlezone Set If you're looking to add some interesting story elements to your gameplay and add even more immersion to your battlefield then the Vox-Antenna & Auspex Shrine Battlezone set is definitely a great choice. The Nachmund Battlezone set is essentially the complete set for the Fronteris line of terrain expansions, it lets you build a complete FOB with multiple entrances and antenna arrays. You can build your own central point of interest, or create a base for your army to defend and hold against overwhelming odds, the possibilities are endless with this amazing terrain set. This is likely one of the most immersive terrain sets on the market, and is fully compatible with the rest of the Battlezone: Fronteris line, as well as other terrain expansion sets released for Warhammer 40,000.

Drybrush a dark metallic over the whole thing. I used Army Painter gunmetal, but I’m sure Citadel Leadbelcher would be fine too. Free actions can only be performed when another rule specifies. Each time an operative would perform a free action, the following rules apply. This set gives you a terrain piece straight out of a Grim-Dark factory, one of the furnaces used to forge and create the weapons that arm the Imperium's immense army. This terrain piece comes unpainted, and unassembled, letting you go wild with the paints and make it your own style, adding more detail wherever you feel necessary. However, this piece is already highly detailed, with many small intricate parts that make the terrain even more immersive.The operative would still count as performing the action for all rules purposes. For example, if it performed it during its activation, it would not be able to perform the action again during that activation. Doing the rusty recess shade will definitely add time to the process, but you could probably skip it if you find a primer spray that’s a perfect rusty colour. I found the Laser Cut Brown a little too reddish to be left unadulterated. Phase Two: a Pop of Colour, and a Dash of Actual Finger Painting With so many sets to choose from, it can be difficult to decide which one to buy. That's why we've put together this guide to the Best Warhammer 40K Battlezone sets. We'll take a closer look at some of the most popular sets on the market, highlighting the features and gameplay mechanics that they have to offer. Mission actions are specific to the mission you are playing, and will be detailed by that mission’s briefing. Missions can be found here (Open Play mission) and here (Spec Ops Narrative missions).

This kit is designed to be compatible with other terrain pieces and fits with many previously released kits, meaning that the possibilities are almost endless. The Ferratonic Furnace set really opens up lots of doors, giving players plenty of avenues to create their own immersive battlefields. This set has multiple levels and adds elevation to your battlefield, adding even more exciting gameplay elements. If I was the owner of a game store I would buy these kits in bulk and organize a terrain builder day for my store. I’d invite the community in to help me join in the fun (and get some volunteer labor out of it). The upfront cost might seem a waste at first but I promise if you get your community invested in the place they play at it will pay dividends. People will invite their friends and people will point out the terrain that they helped build – I’ve seen it happen! You (the store owner) will end up with some awesome terrain and the players will want to take better care of “your” stuff because they helped build it. Plus you’ll all have a great looking play space once the terrain builder is over. That sounds like a winner to me! Next comes the base color for the walkway. I liked the light beige-ish color they used on the original mechanicus terrain shown off so I went with that as my scheme. I apply a few thin coats of Karak Stone to get the base color for the walkway I need. First up, House of Shadow delves into the murky history of House Delaque and brings rules for devious new Champions and Prospects, as well as gang-specific psychic powers, Hangers-on, Dramatis Personae, and more. If you’re a hobbyist, then this set of terrain kits is going to be the bane of your wallet. “I just need one more kit and I can do [fill in the blank]” is going to be your biggest problem. I’m not going to lie, if you were a “Lego Kid” you should probably run from these kits. Otherwise you’re going to want to keep purchasing them and eventually you’re going to drown in plastic. It happens. It’s not pretty…But it’s pretty awesome to dive in and just build and let your creativeness take over.

With the imminent release of Ash Wastes, I decided to finally build and paint up all of the Sector Mechanicus kits I have been buying up over the past few years. The scheme I’ve got here can be toned waaaaay down if you want to turn it into a speedpaint as well. The basic gist of it is red platforms and bone-colors supports. Sector Mechanicus. Credit: Fowler
