Inquisitor scale terrain

[mattausten86]

Depending on if my 40K stuff sells on ebay im planning on buying the miniatures to finish off my chaos warband,but also the GW imperial sector box for terrain,and was just wondering if that would be a good idea for =I= terrain??


cheers

If I recall it correctly they will be big enough but the doors might look a bit tiny with inquisitor models.

Gav's Techpriestess alongside some of that series of terrain. In short, the doors are generously sized.

There is a theory that there may have been some intention that it was also intended to be used alongside Inquisitor. My personal bet is that it may just have been made big to account for things like Tau battlesuits, but either way, it works out.

That is a double door though.

all in all the cities of death buildings are a pretty good scale for inq and make for some interesting terrain to play on with lots of cool bits left over.

dont be afraid to have a go at making some terrain from scratch though!

[MarcoSkoll]

That is a double door though.

From memory, the single doors are more than half the width of the double doors. Anyway, while a 40mm base might not actually fit in the doorway, Inquisitor models don't take up the whole base!

It'll still look believable enough that a 54mm human could fit through the door.

Call me naive (call me whatever you like), but if you fancy a decent conversion job then you can always chose 0-Gauge Railway modelling, which is 54 mm scale. With a bit of work, and some added iconography, you could be able to create some great scenery for Inquisitor.

A steam-power Emperor train or something similar would look great...

Call me naive

I'm going to (Sorry!), on the basis that it's Gauge 1 - or G Gauge when representing 4' 8.5" track - that's 1/32 scale.

O Gauge is much smaller at 1/43.5, and is more like 40mm scale.

It's not just a theory, I remember reading in White Dwarf when they were launched that the article talking about designing them specifically stated that they realised they would be perfect for Inquisitor use too, so made some extra adjustments to make sure.

But yeah, the doors and windows are definitely at a more Inquisitor scale, while balcony edges are more 40k scale.

[MarcoSkoll]

Fair do's. I don't have that WD.

But either way, there's the answer - even designed with Inquisitor in mind.

Excessively sized architecture is very gothic and grimdark. Balconies your troops can't see over are just stupid...

[RobSkib]

Yup, I've used the cities of death terrain for a while now, and I can say it works near perfect at INQ scale - the only problem you may encounter is (as mentioned) the balconies only being knee-high. A bit of jiggery pokery is required to make them Inquisitor size.

[DapperAnarchist]

Or leave off the edges... after all, we all know there are no handrails in space.

[MarcoSkoll]

Forget the dental plan, forget sick leave - I just want a railing, you know? One railing - right here.
...they said they're worried we'd be leaning all day.

Another way to use it is to 40kify scratch built terrain, use it to add details and such, thus allowing you to get more buildings from the kit and avoid scale issues.

Any idea roughly how many pieces you get in a single kit? I'm not finding that information anywhere on the site...
