Dominion of Sigmar Terrain... as 40K Terrain?


Recommended Posts

So the new terrain is coming out for AoS called Dominion of Sigmar ...but i was thinking with some well placed symbols from FW or some home made one's even, this terrain could be painted up as some stately high lords office/temple area or the halls of some imperial palace in the Ultramar region etc etc

It would make for some very different terrain on your board..

you could swap out the sigmar statue for some of those cool new ones from the Basilicum set (see below)

You can use almost anything as 40k terrain. Not every planet is super techy and full of imperial iconography and such.

Yep, my Word Bearers have battled over what looks suspisciously like Bretonnia and 1940s france many times in the past, sometimes even 1940s Bretonnia...

Indeed. And even the Imperial Cult has as many different variations as there are planets, so one can expect iconography that is common to that planet but completely unknown anywhere else.

 

The real problem is that most 40k players recognize this as Age of Sigmar iconography, which may break their immersion as they may find it 'inappropriate'. A 40k player who never seen anything of AoS will probably think these are some awesome ruins, mystical, alien and enigmatic.

It almost makes for some Prospero-ish terrain out of the box. Replace the statue with something Egyptian and you have something perfect for some 30k wolves to blow up.

 

This was my first thought too, but in my case the Thousand Sons will valiantly try to defend their beloved city and all the innocent people in it! :P

It will make a great start for some Chaos temple. Not that I need yet another one, but I guess the Dark Gods would be pleased. Which is all that really matters!

I would love to use this as apart of an armies on display board. I would de-sigmar/ de-egyptify it, make it Greek style architecture for an Olympian style temple- in commemoration of Perturabo's ego or something. :teehee:

Just add some candles, some purity seals and a bunch of offerings and it's a statue of the revered saint sigmar.

 

 

Depending on how modular it is, replacing the pillars with sector imperialis pillars could work too.

Then add some plastic sheet walls (or sector imperialis walls cut to size) and it's almost a small chapel.
