Icarion Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 After a cracking game this past weekend I'd love to see people's terrain setups for AOS 3.0, and specifically I'd love to hear how terrain has impacted your games in the new edition. For myself, I have always favored tables with an abundance of terrain, (whether or not it actually impacts the game in a meaningful way) desnse terrain feels like it makes maneuvering, and objective scoring more tactically interesting. Especially in 3.0 with the seismic shift rule, having an opponents army divided up by LOS blocking or impassable terrain and then pulling an objective has been game changing. I wish AOS had more dynamic terrain rules and interactions, but I feel strongly that new edition and the battleplans/focuses within it have really led to a massive boost in the importance of playing on terrain dense boards. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences, and most importantly, I'd appreciate seeing what your table setups have been looking like in 3.0. Here are a few table examples from my latest games: 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Got a couple here. A top down at set up and an action shot. The terrain is the ruined village from battle systems which cost 25 and filled the mat. It’s probably not legally placed in this game vs my son, was just for fun I have really started to appreciate the value of garrisoning, especially buffs extending from the scenary as opposed to the model. For a Khorne army that’s pretty handy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I currently have the terrain from the initial Warcry boxset and it is more terrain than I ever had in the olden days. I actually have issues storing all of the terrain but I am still hoping to get a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I decided to build a little village - make it look like the armies were fighting over something lived in 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBrodd Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I'm loving these posts guys!! Love myself some good terrain, I remember an article in WD from around the launch of The Fellowship of the Ring strategy game that showed a whole board being made and young me poured over those pages for months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Arthur Hotep Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I am always so lazy when it comes to painting terrain, mostly because I don't actually have a good space in my home to play. But I finished up his stuff recently: It's 3d printed terrain that I saw advertised on some AoS site. It's nice if you want something that paints up quickly. All the measurements on it are gamified, so your miniatures fit on the stairs no problem, for example. The layer lines were a bit rough, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizennus Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I have a couple I guess I could share. I play at a club, so there's lots of terrain pieces available. If I get there early enough for my game I try to set up something a little bit thematic, but sometimes you just have to grab eight pieces and get going.
