Title: WW 'Imperial City' Table
Post by: Molotov on February 21, 2010, 11:23:23 PM
Marco mentioned a desire for photographs of Warhammer World's "Imperial City" table, which my circle used today for our INQ28 campaign. It would make an excellent table for INQ54, and I know I've seen some shots of it before in the "In the Field" sub-forum. I figured as this sub-forum has had scenery put up before that I ought to put this here for people to ogle. Perhaps it might be useful inspiration:

It still shocks me at how big and awesome that table is - those are Inquisitor models in the centre, right? I'd love to be able to play on it one day.

This makes me want to hop on a plane.  Consider those pictures ogled.

This is Molotov we're talking about, so they're Inq28 models.

But it would still be a pretty impressive size for 54mm models.

As would I. I'll have to hope we both get it for the Spring Conclave and that I manage a good enough performance to make it there (as I get the idea that it would be the "Climax" scenario.)

I've asked if we can have that table for the Spring Conclave - there's a chance they'll be using it for something else, so we'll have to wait and see.  I plan to run the final scenario on there if I can, but there's no reason we can't play some of the early games on there as well.

i played (http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=268.0) in Kasthan's "Rooftop Chase" (http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=295.0) scenario at the Spring Conclave 09.. was great fun and slightly surreal to not actually use the board :D

It's 6'x8' IIRC.  It actually turned out to be a bit of a pig for playing on at the Spring Conclave, as establishing lines of sight with all those fixed buildings was nearly impossible.

really by the look of it i thought that the long streets and high areas could be useful for creating over watch corridors and gd lines of enclosed fire

Wow.

Is it bad that my first thought was "That would cost so much to make", even before "I'd love to play on that with my Guard"?  Really nice integration of the landing pad into the building there!

i see what u mean the marine stood gunning down one of those would be unstopable (or if he was charging no where ti hide for the win)

Or as the case was, charging up the sides of buildings and using people as projectiles...

While I think that table is probably the most impressive looking one at WHW, it's not the best to play on. I much prefer their Necromunda terrain (especially with all the walkways). The cathedral table that we used at the IGT was pretty good, and we played a fun game on half of the fortress table one time, but in general I prefer tables with terrain that can be moved and rearranged. The Imperial city is just too big and it's all too easy for characters to get separated. When we used it last year, we were forced to split the game in two part way through because Gav's and my characters got seperated from the rest. We made it work, but it wasn't exactly the best game ever...
