Help with Terrain....please
« on: May 04, 2015, 01:02:49 AM »
I am working on some sci fi desert terrain but am coming up short sourcing desert terrain manufactures.  I recall the battlefield in a box range having desert terrain but can't seem to locate them anymore.  I'm going to pick up some aquarium decor as well, but does anyone know if there are terrain manufactures for desert themed pieces?

Pegasus Hobbies make a few sets of cacti, and palm trees. Battlefield in a Box did desert escarpments, trench lines, dragons teeth & minefields and barbed wire. Tons of folk do buildings and walls, like JR miniatures,

For decent hills why not make them? Some insulating foam goes a long way.

Which scale is this?

Its for a Tatooine setting... I have all my buildings but need some appropriate looking escarpments and hills.... I have done some research into making my own, but would prefer something almost out of the box as I am really short on time for scratch built.

Aquarium rocks are good and relatively cheap for dry settings.



Pegasus do some craters, these are Games Workshop ones which you can find on eBay but the principle is the same:



Lots of people make palm trees and scrub and sell them on eBay. Rocks on bases take seconds to make:



Tablescape make hills you can stand on rather than rocky lumps if that's what you need:

and Palm trees:



S&A Scenics do desert stuff too.

Not many photos on their site but a Google should turn up people sing their stuff, generally it's basic but functional.
