Hey, Warhammer fans! Let’s talk about the epic landscapes of Legions Imperialis where Titans, tank squadrons, and cohorts of infantry duke it out on massive battlefields. Thanks to the Civitas Imperialis terrain sets, we can create some absolutely stunning cityscapes. The team at Warhammer World has done an amazing job with these, and the Community Team caught up with Ben to get the inside scoop on creating such a feature-packed battlefield.
The Creative Process
Ben and the team took inspiration from their Legions Imperialis display for the Warhammer World exhibition. They wanted to make sure the gaming board looked epic and was worthy of some cool action shots but still entirely playable. They worked closely with the rules writers to ensure everything was spot on.
Immersive Gaming Experience
To make the battlefield truly immersive, they built the structures directly into the Civitas Imperialis city tiles. The added rubble and destruction blurred the lines where the pieces came together, making the battlefield look realistic and varied. The flexibility of the buildings and tiles allowed for endless combinations, keeping the layout fresh and exciting.
Adding Wrecked Titans and Destroyed Buildings
The team didn’t stop at just constructing buildings. They wanted the battlefield to tell a story, so they added destroyed buildings and wrecked Titans. These features serve as points of interest and even become objectives players can fight over. It’s all about creating a dynamic and engaging environment for epic battles.
Keeping It Modular
Even though the board looks amazing, the team was concerned that a fixed layout might lose its charm over time. To combat this, they kept the tiles modular. Players can shift and rotate bits around to create new firing lines and areas of dense terrain. This means no two games need to be the same, keeping the excitement alive every time you play.
Painting the Board
For painting, they aimed for a neutral and grounded color scheme to make players’ armies stand out. The idea was to show hobbyists what they could achieve by combining various Civitas Imperialis kits, inspiring the community to create their own unique cityscapes.
