Vitch_EGS Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hi everyone I was wondering if I could get a little help. Im planning to get some friends to try AoS so wsnt to get a proper board with terrain. I have two 1k point armies (Legiins of Nagash and Nurgle daemons) almost ready to rock and was wondering if I could get feedback on what I plan to get. I play 40k too so most of the stuff im going to get im trying to make universal. Theme is going to be a nurgle infested area of shyss. Because of what points im playing it will be 4x2 for now as well. So the shopping list so far will be trio of sylvaneth trees (how do they look without the leaves?) and nurge trees. I have some old crators that im gonna turn to gunge ponds for some impassible areas. Realmgates which will double as daemon world nonsense for 40k and the big grave set. Would it be too much for the space we are playing on or too little? The nurgle trees I'll just use as terrain for when they aint being used by nurgle too of course. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Skabnoze Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Well, I have the opinion that you really cannot have too much terrain in a wargame - with the caveat that the terrain should be built so that it is functional within that game system. The terrain you have sounds like more than enough for the space that you have described. You might want to get at least one large piece that can completely block line of sight to a unit or monster - something like a building, ruin, big rocky formation, etc. The citadel woods look great without the leaves. They look like gnarled spooky trees without the leaves on them. I have a few boxes and I purchased them specifically because I wanted gnarled dead looking trees for a badlands themed board and GW trees fit that better than what any other manufacturer makes.

Vitch_EGS Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Thanks for the feedback I'll grab the Skullmanse then for a big dominating centre piece I think. One of those kits I've always loved the look of and have it being infested by nurgle too. Maybe gunge pouring out of huge skulls and spare nurgles hiding. Good to hear the trees work good without leaves too! Cheers boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Both armies don't offer a lot of shooting so Line of Sight blocking terrain is less of an issue but movement blocking terrain creating funnels and paths mak the game so much better. So I second @Skabnoze sounds like you have a good mix of terrain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuff Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I glued model railroad foam flock on my citadel woods and they look ace. I even added extra arms and heads and swords from the big tree man kits for truly WILD Woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightstar Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I'd say choose a realm as a basis for your theme too. If you go realm of life or fire, even beast, standing stones are easy to make. So are random rocky pieces with insolation foam, a punch rock, sand and paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitch_EGS Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Thanks everyone for all the tips im gonna spend work today desgining it out on paper. Going to go for a nurgle held area of the undead realm and then double it up as a nurgle daemon world. I'll be sure to post some pics when I make a bit of progress, may have to repaint my rob board as well to match it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitch_EGS Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hey everyone I've been flat out working on my slice of the Realm of Shyish. Trees and couple of details need done and I may turn crators into spirit goop pools but finding it so strange playing with actual terrain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Well, the more I look at the new kill team decor, sector imperialis, the more I think it can be adapted with ease to AoS. And it can be huge, are real LoS blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitch_EGS Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Was thinking it would be cool to do something like that yeah. Feel a small ghost town wouldnt go amiss alongside the tower, spend more time scheming new terrain plans than army plans since I have started!

AaronWilson Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I really want to do a realm of life table, with lush forests and big jungle plants. Anyone got some good ideas for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkfine Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Just a word of warning with those two armies specifically, Nurgle struggles real hard against Nagash pre 2k. Be sure that the new player is playing nagash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like Mirkwood, but with the trees and plants growing out of the half-buried bones of giant monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshirtman Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 We mostly use a lot of micro art studios, a few GW center pice models and hills carved out to give LoS blockers. Works fine, as long as you have flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
