    Default Scenery Sourcing

    I borrowed some terrain pieces from a coworker, and really like them. He bought them off of eBay years ago, but he doesn't know the original source. I'd like to get some more pieces like this, does anyone know a source for some terrain pieces like the pictured?

    Looks like it's got a hard board base and pieces of foam. Sculpt the foam. paint it. dry brush. add flock and foam and static grass. nice looking piece. easy to make.

    Well, sure, but after making a board recently, I'm not super interested in doing more of that. I didn't find it as rewarding as the other facets of the hobby, so I'm still interested in sources of similar stuff premade.

    If you don't want to make it, kick a commission over to someone at your LGS that enjoys making terrain.

    I see. I'm too cheap to buy the premade stuff.

    looks just like a sheet of MDF (medium density fiberboard) for the base and insulation foam rocks... doesnt look like anything "custom" really or mas manufactured... you could get the supples to make like 20 of those from a store for like... $30? max... and have the built and painted in a single weekend... instead of searching, paying massive prices, and waiting for them to arrive.

    Some people have more money than time. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. Cut him some slack if he wants to find some good pre-made terrain. I love the hobby aspect and make as much of my own stuff as I can, but I completely sympathize with the OP wanting to spend his limited time on his army instead of his terrain. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get 4 more warcasters painted for the next league season. :/

    Archimedes, I think ebay or contracting through your local game store are probably your best bets. You could also check out Gale Force 9's Battlefield in a Box products.

    Got their start on E-bay, now seem to have a free-standing sales. They use recycled rubber as the base material.

    That piece of terrain is something I made and sold on an auction site (you know the one). Wish I had seen this earlier so I could have helped.

    FYI, I still sell them on eBay. Sets of five just like your co-worker bought.
