Working on my 15mm Desert War project. Got almost all of the Germans done and thinking about terrain. Was going to go with Crescent Root but saw that they have pulled all of their nice looking desert buildings, etc. from their store. Any other suggestions for desert buildings?
-
I‘m facing the same dilemma. So far I have only come up with the FoW sets (Battlefront/Galeforcenine) which are fairly expensive IMHO and may or may not be worth their money. So I will go DIY, which isn‘t that hard to the do in 15mm.

You could try Kerr and King they do nice desert stuff
-
I have some from Hovel.

Most of my 15mm buildings are Hovels. Although Sarissa just released a bunch of nice ones. The good news is you’re not going to need more than 2-4. There just isn’t that much urban sprawl in North Africa ;)

On a portable device so I can’t post links
Gamecraft miniatures have cheap adobes in resin and mdf
Crom’s Anvil Has some inexpensive buildings as well as terrain

That is odd, I could not get your link to work, however it looks correct:

As the above works.

I use Hovels buildings. They look fine.
There weren't a huge number of buildings in the western desert of course. There were lots and lots undulations of varying sizes, shapes and ruggedness though.

At Salute a few years back I picked up some nice vacuum formed scenery. I have long ago lost the company name, but it
was something like 'Amega'. They do some very nice desert stuff, such as:-
Adobe buildings; Roman/ Greek temple/theatre base (great for long forgotten ruins) and sand dunes.
All of the stuff is light, therefore easy to transport to club etc. The sand dunes even stack, as there are only a few designs
per vac-formed sheet. That does not matter as, once cut out from the sheet, you simply place them with each having its
own facing (e.g. shape 'A' put one facing North, one Southwest etc.) Dunes are also not scale specific. The models are about
25mm tall. A small mound in 28mm is a small hillock in 15mm, but a big problem in 6mm.

Amera is the name of the company I think you are referring to.
