What are you using as a gameboard for Armageddon?
« on: May 03, 2017, 07:09:15 PM »
GW of course recommend their Sector Imperialis gameboard and although it looks very nice I just can't justify spending the £200 for it!

So I'm wondering if there are cheaper options out there?

What are you guys using as your gameboard for Armageddon, or what are you intending to use?

Many thanks.

Just as soon as I stop buying the rather excellent scenery, I intend to get an UrbanMatZ 6' by 4' Concrete Area mat from Dark Sphere. The idea of concrete ground appeals to me more than the Games Workshop option, and is much cheaper!

This. There's all sorts of junk and old toys in there as well as some mdf scenery.

I've got loads of Mantics modular stuff for Deadzone. Probably cobble something together from that.

I quiet like the look of TT combats modular MDF Death Quadrant scenery certainly cheaper than GW

https://ttcombat.com/collections/sci-fi-gothic-scenics/products/death-quadrant

 you could easily mix it up with their gothic road tiles

https://ttcombat.com/collections/gaming/products/gothic-crossroad-sections

and plenty of other options in their Gothic sci-fi range

takes a little work to put together and paint but in my experience comes up pretty nice.

I know it isn't much help in regards to cost, But john blanche has been posting pictures on facebook and instagram of his shadow wars terrain on forgeworld zone mortalis tiles.
Not any cheaper, But if you do end up thinking about buying the GW board, I'd look into that instead.

Handsome stuff the first time I saw it posted, Pictors, but I'm getting the sense most folk want to go vertical as well.

Was the point of the old Necromunda, though I've not heard if it's in SW:A.
