Probably too expensive to mass produce things but they would be great for creating masters:

I'm going to have to measure the bricks on the E40k ruin sprues to see how big they are.

If you're looking for bricks, Plastruct has suitable sized textured sheets that are great for ruins. I use their "Dressed Stone" sheets #91590 for lots of things in Epic scale.

I love those picnic tables. They just scream to be used in an objective. ;D

Got any pics? I can never tell from their site how big the bricks are.

Here is the basic poly sheet with some reference items. The embedded pic shows bits of the sheet used as part of a cultist fire support stand.

That's not bad at all Ghudra.....Tried any other sheet from there or Evergreen?

Dave, Nice find also. Some nifty stuff, let me know how it works out if you pick some up.

Thanks Ghudra, I'll probably pick some of that up as well. Is that the smallest size?

Ha, nice L4. Is that plastruct N scale brick?

That is the smallest size for the "Dressed Stone" pattern. It's HO scale, which is normally a bit on the big side, but I think it works for Epic because you can make it out easily on the table top. Plastruct does make other brick sheets #91608 in N scale (1:200) which might also work for your purposes.

Nice job on the old AT buildings L4! ;)
I like all the added stairs, pipes, etc.

Wow. Just when I thought I had enough purchasing decisions to make... :)

Those pallets and picnic baskets DO look so tempting. I know Z scale is dang close to 6mm...but its not exact. Would those be close enough to not be too big or out of place?

Bricks vary in size hugely. of all things I'd say they're the most flexible.

Most Epic figs range from 6-8mm tall. 7mm scale terrain works just fine.
