The Tau terrain reminds me a lot of that one scene in Star Wars Attack of the Clones when Yoda is like "to the forward command center take me" to some random clone officer. In a strangely good way.
I'm shocked you didn't mention Ash Wastes or the amazing Warcry starter box terrain. Red Harvest is pretty cool too and looks like it would work in 40k as well as AOS.
I would've mentioned the Tyranid terrain from back in the disay. Was kinda cool, some spires and stuff. If only there were some RUclipsrs who made monthly terrain stls that would make a Tyranid style terrain with spires and reclamation pool to coinside with the release of leviathan.
I remember asking a guy in GW why the tau box art moved to the white and black, and he just straight up said that it was to make them look more stormtroopery, that was 2015 just before when the force awakens came out.
They have such contrasting facial features to me, Stormtroopers are like skeletons mixed with frogs in their general look, but Tau helmets look even less alive than a b1 battle droid looks. I can see people trying to strengthen the connection with a white color scheme for tau, but I can't see them as stormtroopers in their vibe, especially since they can actually hit things with their shots.
The anphelion project was the book. Forge world did a number of campaign books. The anphelion project was a research moon where the terrain represented the lab complexes. They studied tyranids which broke out (jurassic park style.... they even used electric fences!). Was cool terrain but super expensive.
You can get really really similiar terrain to anphelion (not even recasts) from various 3d Printers, still expensive but not FW level and pretty neat on the table
@@josphenciso7471 its was hundreds of pounds, back in 2005 way too pricey but there seem to be some cool 3d print versions available nowadays. The project book had photocopy floor plans in back and also advised using space hulk floor plans in a pinch. Was a nice looking set. Only ever managed to pick up a few scenic cryo tanks. They could slot into the walls to make the rooms different.
Love the necromunda market, I have in mind to buy that and 3x of the Gondorian mansion to make a 40K version of an ancient Roman house with a street market right outside
Yea... I guess because with some modifications it could also be a ramshackle slum like cultists hideout... And even if oneself doesn't play orks, one can still have an ork-infested city as the "home turf" of one's army.
Hey Jay,just wanted tolet you know i w8 all week for your videos i just vibe with your intro music and makessuper happy to see them. thank you for making my weeks better.
That Forgeworld Moon Base is awesome - wasn't aware of that one. They did make the Forgeworld Zone Mortalis boards in plastic, it'd be lovely to see them remake that in plastic too.
Having open and into the dark terrain together is exactly my vision of the future for season 3 of Kill Team. Don't think it'll ever happen but it would be great.
My dad had the ethereal euthanasia centre, sometimes we'd put it in the middle of the boar make it one of the objectives. Terrain is really what takes games to that next level. Taking the token is good but doesn't come close to taking the tower or the fortress , makes it come like
Its not the grim reaper on the fortress its the dark angel. I even got a belt buckle with the dark angel from their merch store back in 40k 5th ed and its the same dude. I think it was marketed as a dark angel fortress when they unveiled it as well but i could be wrong about that
Some of the early Age of Sigmar terrain was the BOMB. The ophidian archway, the baleful realmgates, the massive chaos fortress. They all look like they belong on a power metal album cover.
Let's not forget the fortress of redemption's bigger brother, the aquilla stronghold. Just the perfect centerpiece for any grimdank battlefield. Also l remember there was another dinner table sized building from forgeworld that was kinda like a D-day style bunker with an fellblade turret on top. I think you could even fit a dreadnought inside it. That thing was absolutely insane.
Just for the curious, looking in my old 2010 Forge World catalogue Anphelion Base complete retail was £625-€813-$1031, although all the parts could be ordered individually, side note FW also sold a very impressively imposing set of Imperial Fortress walls that made the Baneblade look like a MicroMachine/Matchbox/Hot wheels car.
Don’t agree on Megadroth remains but rest are good choices. Buying separately is the worst way to buy it as it shouldn’t be $60 that I agree with. Found a Thondian Strongpoint quite discounted so got each terrain set, incarnate and the board for ~$30 each.
Since around Nov of last year I've amassed a terrain collection... Ash Wastes × 2 Underhive Market Sector Mechanicus tiles Extended Hab Unit Plasma Pipes Plasma Generators Seismic Drill A bunch of other stuff like 2 of the AoS forests, the floating fountain, tidewall, way too much stuff. Currently building the hab units. Glorious kits.
Skullvane Mance is one of the best looking terrain kits ever. It just exudes “fantasy” and all things crazy with the Old World feel. I managed to get a hold of one before they went out of print and so grateful to have it in my collection.
There is a campaign for MESBG that is called The Scouring of the Shire that takes place after the ring is destroyed. It's not in the movies, but what happens is that Saruman and Grima goes to the Shire with a bunch of ruffians and bandits, and when the fellowship hobbits returns they have to fight them to save their homeland. Also in olden days the Shire has been invaded by goblins and stuff, so it actually makes some sense to make hobbit terrain for the game.
I remember the store in the Centro-Oberhausen mall. When it was around I would stroll through every time I visited the mall with my parents. Mostly because I liked to look at the mumak they had on display. If I remember correctly the table they had had hills/ an incline and some smaller cliffs... I kinda regret that 12yo me never gained enough interest to get into the game as my goal at the time was finding an Eowyn figurine as she was my favorite LOTR character. I still have a little voucher/flyer offering that one could paint one mini for free. A goblin or a space marine... I actually wanted to do that but never really got to do it... Now I'm into 40k, have just painted all parts of my guard starter pack and got the codex. Waited for that thing for a long time. bought the rule book and starter box shortly after 9th edition came out and now the codex just came out and it's already a lot of talking about 10th edition.
The old 40k battlescape gives me flashbacks to my time playing paintball. Also, the inside/outside idea could be coming to Kill Team next season if the Gallowdark story is to continue with the ship crashed on a planet. And again flashbacks to paintball (we had some great paintball sites)
The FW terrain (tables) was called, Realm of Battle, and you need 6-8 squares to complete a table, they were sold for £70-80 ($100-115) each back in the day, they are cool but ridiculous for that price, even today because most of the resin it's just plain ground with some building in the center (or sides). My favorite terrain is the Industrial Sector, it's like LEGO you can make almost any type of building with their pieces, because it's pretty modular, and interchangeable with other terrain kits.
I recall that I bought a bunker produced from G.W. in the early 2000s, back when they didn't do that much terrain. I was unfortunately stolen alongside a lot of a my 40k collection out of my storage unit.
A terrain piece I want that I won’t use for gameplay would be the knight repair stand. I want it just so I can put my knight in it when I have it displayed on my shelf
I think the new Gallowdark terrain is actually really awesome. It all interlocks and works as modules, and it's covered with quite a lot of neat details
Hey Jay, i dont know if youre aware, but the sigmarite mauseleum is part of the mortal realms collection, im sure you would be able to find some number of the collection with it, they are like 3-4 numbers to have a full one. So maybe you can still get one!
The best kind of terrain is the kind you can make yourself, be it by hand or 3D printed but I'm in the very minority on this. However, that observatory tower at #2 is pretty cool, shame it's gone.
I miss the old Warhammer Fantasy Empire terrain. The Tower/Chapel/Fortified Manor were cool looking without being over the top and could be slotted in anywhere. The old Citadel Wood and Modular Hill were also great and durable... Unfortunately, with both things there, I normally played at the gamestore then...and moved since. Another thing that was awesome was the cloth backed grass mat...easy and simple, could be used for any game out there and while I was lucky enough to snag one after they ended normal sales of them, it's the brighter color grass one rather than the darker grass one.
The first 3 were awesome!!! Too bad there not around anymore but to be honest even if they were around I’d probably still wouldn’t be able to afford them! I’m having a hard enough time buying and building my actual army’s! Lol I play too many games! But I would love to see people that have them all painted up though!
I think you are confusing AoS with Warhammer Fantasy. The mortal realms are 8 distinct "worlds" with connections to the original 8 winds of magic. They are all connected at different places by realmgates, which is where most of the conflict generally takes place. There are a handful of notable places that aren't technically realms: the All Points, the Ethersea, the place where Slannesh is imprisoned.
What about the drill???!!! You should do another vid on all the terrain for 40K like the entire range of everything and then do age of sigmar and then LOTR because a lot of of new players don’t even know this stuff exists lol
So much more than that. It was mentioned on a 'trapped under plastic ' podcast that jay pre makes some videos to cover holidays or times away so we always have his content!
actually the new lord of the rings sets for gondor, dol guldur and those alike are really good (terrible terrible immensely terrible pricing of course), very modular, not showy but very scene fitting and easy and fun to paint and playabilty wise also thought through
I don´t understand GW´s way of dealing with terrain at all. Just introduce one system, as modular as possible and keep it. They could add new modules whenever they want to. They could even release "hybrid" terrain pieces to make a battlefield visually be part of multiple factions: Chaos-Upgrades for imperial terrain, imp wall segments with Scarabs that are restructuring it, imp walls with sheets of metal for the orks... I think their current ways of releasing and rather quickly discontinuing terrain systems and styles limits their possibilities and also their profits. Not many people are GW-Terrain-Collectors who will buy the stuff just to own it.
Why would anyone want to join without seeing what kind of terrain their getting? Don’t get me wrong I watch your videos all the time but I know I’m not the only one with this opinion.

My personal fav is the crashed Aquila lander from the Battle for Macragge box
I hope they make this as new terrain. I would buy it.
@@Interzone88 @ChampstylesTLT well aren't you both lucky XD
If you want to ebay it, the Sigmarite Mausoleum is also the Garden of Morr (it predates AoS)
I used a set of the Garden of Morr to make a graveyard for a Malifaux table about 10 years back hehe
Those pre-end times kits for WHFB were sick so sad I didn't buy any back in the day, but I waa still building up my army.
Is the corpsewrack mausoleum for war cry the same kit?
They're (probably soon) gonna be back in Old world soon with the astromancer tower
I'm shocked you didn't mention Ash Wastes or the amazing Warcry starter box terrain. Red Harvest is pretty cool too and looks like it would work in 40k as well as AOS.

Would you happen to remember how much? It sounds like it would be 1000+ bucks

Who would have ever thought that studying the nids could go wrong?
@@josphenciso7471 it was super expensive. Just a hallway section was 100$ or something mental. It sold in sets and singletons.
Love the necromunda market, I have in mind to buy that and 3x of the Gondorian mansion to make a 40K version of an ancient Roman house with a street market right outside
The Octarius terrain set is amazing and I don’t even like Orks. Thst set is so much fun to paint. Also the Admech terrain sets are great as well
Yea... I guess because with some modifications it could also be a ramshackle slum like cultists hideout... And even if oneself doesn't play orks, one can still have an ork-infested city as the "home turf" of one's army.

What was the name of the fortress set?
Don’t agree on Megadroth remains but rest are good choices. Buying separately is the worst way to buy it as it shouldn’t be $60 that I agree with. Found a Thondian Strongpoint quite discounted so got each terrain set, incarnate and the board for ~$30 each.
Jay infiltrated my brain over the years, he is such a cute guy! His passion is so pulpable.
Since around Nov of last year I've amassed a terrain collection...
Ash Wastes × 2
Underhive Market
Sector Mechanicus tiles
Extended Hab Unit
Plasma Pipes
Plasma Generators
Seismic Drill
A bunch of other stuff like 2 of the AoS forests, the floating fountain, tidewall, way too much stuff. Currently building the hab units. Glorious kits.

Do it, EoB, do it.

Best kit of all time is sector Imperialis, they really need to bring that one back and take my second mortgage
I'd have the Rohan buildings on my list, fantastically flexible with so many options
I recall that I bought a bunker produced from G.W. in the early 2000s, back when they didn't do that much terrain. I was unfortunately stolen alongside a lot of a my 40k collection out of my storage unit.
big map killteam with some of these things and with more emphasis on movement and quiet tactics would be amazing
Check out the moroch terrain, it's so cool for that quiet tactics stuff
Weathertop from Forgeworld was incredible. The Goblin Town set from the Hobbit was uninspiring.
A terrain piece I want that I won’t use for gameplay would be the knight repair stand. I want it just so I can put my knight in it when I have it displayed on my shelf
I think the new Gallowdark terrain is actually really awesome. It all interlocks and works as modules, and it's covered with quite a lot of neat details
Bad time to take a drink of rum is when hobbit hole comes up.....
Quit staring at my hobbit hole!
Imperial Armour books, Jay. There were 13, and 14 (Fires of Cyraxus) was teased but then Mr. Bligh passed and that was that.
the anphelion base stuff was the 40K equivalent of Hadley's Hope from the film Aliens.
Hey Jay, i dont know if youre aware, but the sigmarite mauseleum is part of the mortal realms collection, im sure you would be able to find some number of the collection with it, they are like 3-4 numbers to have a full one. So maybe you can still get one!
That dragon man. Nope. Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!
Always ask for permission before you look at someone's hobbit hole 😂😂😂 I am dead
Terrain is fun but I agree if you just work around it with what ever you have it still works. It’s fun but then you have to store it all!
I always loved the of FW crashed Tau vehicles, would have bought loads of them if they we're discontinues before I started a well paid job
I like the battlescape for the purpose of single unit or character battles.
The best kind of terrain is the kind you can make yourself, be it by hand or 3D printed but I'm in the very minority on this. However, that observatory tower at #2 is pretty cool, shame it's gone.
I like the megadroth :)
The terrain at 16mins I am now going to make to print
I have the Tau railgun still in a box because it was too cool not to buy.
I miss the old Warhammer Fantasy Empire terrain. The Tower/Chapel/Fortified Manor were cool looking without being over the top and could be slotted in anywhere.
The old Citadel Wood and Modular Hill were also great and durable...
Unfortunately, with both things there, I normally played at the gamestore then...and moved since.

Reaper makes a hard plastic graveyard gate that is really good for the price.
I've got some really ancient GW craters that are just a sheet of vacuum formed ABS plastic.
Fun fact you can still use the fortress and some of this old terrain as for factions in current 40k
I love the ruined cathedral with the srained glass insert. Too bad its just flexible plastic sheet though
Ahh yes the chapel of sanctuary
3rd edition ruined cathedrals and jungle trees are my jam!
The first 3 were awesome!!! Too bad there not around anymore but to be honest even if they were around I’d probably still wouldn’t be able to afford them!

my favourite terrain had to be the 3rd edition boxed set terrain :) cheap, useful, and you could make other terrain out of it all :P
I am surprised you didn´t mention the most unique terrain GW made: Deathworld Forest.
you should make your own dragon skeleton terrain piece. Take something you hate and make it your favorite part...
the tau fire wall is the barbie dream house for warhammer fans
I want them to rerelease the garden of morr. I would actually buy 4 of them 😅
The graveyard is gone ? Wtf man, I shoulda got 1
Cities of Death was and still is a big vibe
It probably was 8th edition, 5-7th Tau armies got worse after the Etherial died, so you wanted to protect them.
I have obtained: When a tau player has a terrain thats a hight casualtie - For The Greater Good
What about the drill???!!! You should do another vid on all the terrain for 40K like the entire range of everything and then do age of sigmar and then LOTR because a lot of of new players don’t even know this stuff exists lol
Graveyard terrain for next month's board
Somebody's phone is ringing through the entire video, I kept getting freaked out thinking it was me... but it was never me :sadface:
Even on a US holiday. My god the commitment

Wow great to know. Jay and the EoB are for the people
luckily enough also on an Austrian holiday, pretty nice!
actually the new lord of the rings sets for gondor, dol guldur and those alike are really good (terrible terrible immensely terrible pricing of course), very modular, not showy but very scene fitting and easy and fun to paint and playabilty wise also thought through
Not many of the channels I watch talk about terrain
Love the fortress of redemtion
For me the first Warcry terrain, the ruined city, was one of the bests
Man I really wanted to get the Skullvane Manse, I slept on it for months and I will regret it forever.
The dragon gets less cool the further from the head you go
It's baffling to me that GW refuse to sell the amazing terrain kits they used to have.
Think you could buy the mausoleum for warcry before
No genestealer Drill? I'm sad now.
Ahh the fortress of redemption that and cities of death are kits I'm sad that have been discontinued.
Lol I liked the 40k city walls
4' long 3' high
Mr Modulork makes a sweet stl set of dragon bones
Can confirm, they provide all the Tau terrain except the Railgun listening post… shame that is.
Sorry but the Cities of death terrain was and still is by far the best GW terrain they have produced
4th ed cities of death. Endless opportunities
The anohelion proyect could be remade with 3d printers
I don´t understand GW´s way of dealing with terrain at all. Just introduce one system, as modular as possible and keep it. They could add new modules whenever they want to. They could even release "hybrid" terrain pieces to make a battlefield visually be part of multiple factions: Chaos-Upgrades for imperial terrain, imp wall segments with Scarabs that are restructuring it, imp walls with sheets of metal for the orks...
I think their current ways of releasing and rather quickly discontinuing terrain systems and styles limits their possibilities and also their profits. Not many people are GW-Terrain-Collectors who will buy the stuff just to own it.
Carpet terrain is my opinion is a classic.
No chaos stronghold?
It looks cool in pictures. But it’s one of the worst kits they’ve ever put out. Barely even fits together in places.
Why would anyone want to join without seeing what kind of terrain their getting? Don’t get me wrong I watch your videos all the time but I know I’m not the only one with this opinion.
Non-native English speaker here. Anyone who can tell me what Jay was talking about around 19:51? Onnings of onyngs or something like that?
Also I kind of disagree about the dragon remains, I love it. Although not at that price.
Awning is the word!
@@RowdiesFan1 Oh, so that's what he was talking about! Thanks man, I appreciate it.
space marines used to have cool terrain but gw and fw discontinued it
Agreed on these
I feel like the lotr terrain is largely under appreciated.
Nachmund?
The mantic terrain is heaps better for significantly less money.
Adepta Sororitas Battle Sanctum
The magmadroth remains is pretty nice piece to go with all the Warcry Ghur scenery , just way way way overpriced.
Relicos Militarum
