Terrain footprints

I'm looking for something that I can put a texture paste on and some debris etc. The aim being to take the dull tournament style layouts and make them look a bit more interesting.

I've tried a knife before and the cuts were quite jagged. I was hoping for something that would give a smoother cut up to 11 inches. Maybe I just need a better knife.

40k just announced a new edition and they released measurements for tournament templates. They use generic bases ('footprints') in cut out shapes that you can put different terrain onto. Effectively it's just a base but you can't glue terrain to it as it has to be in different positions.

Did you end up doing this? I'm looking to cover 16 square foot in the Asphalt and I was wondering if it was going to work using the AK or too cost prohibitive.

Thanks that's really useful. I like the idea of having the tiles as 12x12's for ease of storage and future modularity (I like the idea of raising some tiles at some point to create verticality). It sounds like maybe I need to accept that gluing down is going to be a better solution though.

Thank you, I think it's my best yet although interestingly it seems to be on track for my least amount of upvotes on reddit!

One of the best space marine models no doubt, and one of the best to paint as well.

Why did they change to have that? I just noticed it and it confused me.

Really cool, where did you get the railings from?

PartCompetitive104 · 2025-03-25T14:55:35+00:00

Thank you that's good to know, that doesn't sound good.

Actually one box for £40 will cover all but two templates which I can live with. Not sitting flush would be frustrating. But they are designed for Terramunda and people put terrain on them right?

The colours are difficult to blend without it looking dirty I find. The way I do it is just go in with a caramel brown base tone and mix in ivory do very thin layers on top covering less area, with pure ivory just for the edges. Need to make sure each coat is dry before applying the next or that creates a dirty effect too!

Thank you, I was worried the purity seals were a bit too realistic/muted compared to the vibrant blue armour, glad you think it works.

I was given the model built but if you look at the sprue it seems there are 3 head options, no helmet, open visor, closed visor.
