I'm trying to decide what I want to make as a kind of Base/lair/citadel for my plague marines.


I had thought of making something on the lines of the forgeworld tank factory, but a rotted version.

I had toyed with the idea of using one of the cathedral sets from battlescenes instead, but thought it might be a bit big.

What I dont want is to just take a building and add dead bodies to it, I want it to really feel like a plague building.

I'm hitting up google, but I thought I would ask here too as I'm sure someone will have seen some on here over the years! Im expecting most things to be 40k based, but I'd really like to see some epic scale for ideas!

I've seen people use craters, fill them with toxic ooze, like a swamp? Perhaps something sinking into a swamp...

EPIC WIP: Grey Knights, Space Wolves, Eldar

I'm thinking a factory with a waste pit and something with a tentacle living in it.

Lots of rusted pipes, tri circle bits, and of course rotted banners on the side.

What about a medical/lab facility completely overrun by plague zombies/daemons? Adding something "live" (tentacles?) will improve the Nurgle aspect I would say.

Ha! Needs an Umbrella Corp symbol but done in threes like the nurgle icon

I was chatting to Moredakka at the weekend and I'm going to do a factory (or maybe two different types) as the next project for the website....well, one of the next 'batch' of projects...there may be some evil, pointy, spikey pieces of scenery being developed for the bad guys too....

So if you fancy a chat just give me a shout

Thanks for all the ideas guys, they are perfect. Gave me some stuff to look for online and I found this beauty-

There are three other parts to this board as well, and I am gobsmacked. There are fantastic!
It is now my dream to try and recreate some of these boards in epic scale! Especially the landing pad (gross!) and the factory! The park is excellent too. The walkways are superb and I will try to make some of them too, I might make several so that I can change the layout more often.

I wont be able to get it any where near the quality of the painting, but I should be able to make it as versatile.


I like the idea of the tri umbrella logo, and the idea of an overrun hospital. Perhaps looking normal from the front, but the inside is over run with zombies!!

Going to make a start on some stuff this afternoon, going to start with a basic factory floor plan I guess and build up from there.

Should I stick to adding any WIP to the terrain board, or should I continue to just include everything in my sci fi thread?

Psypher, I am going to send you a message later today. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for factory and spiky stuff!
