Ideas for Imperial Assault terrain

By Rikalonius, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

I just came across this thanks to the power of targeted advertising. A company out of the UK called Room 17 games has created this Tenfold dungeon project:

This is a great concept for IA Maps. Especially take a look at the Miremarsh Swamp Glade. That is some beautiful artwork simulating outdoor terrain. Of course, it is mainly for fantasy dungeons, but you'll see they are offering sci fi doors, and some SciFi nurnies for their "Facility" tiles, which seems like something suited to a game like Space Hulk or something. I personally would love to play IA inside 3D rooms like these.

Very cool, but also very expensive, and takes up a lot of space lol.

Maybe FFG should use this as a template for their Worlds Battlemaps and let the winning players keep a set.

That's the biggest problem, is space. It is a pain enough to store all the flat tiles.

just imagine every campaign map getting one of these. You'd fill an entire closet with all your boxes of terrain haha

I think that this design fits fantasy games (Descent) better than IA

Yeah, as much as I love the lite roleplaying and awesome tabletop presentation potential IA has, I tend to lean toward functionality.

That's why I haven't even invested in one of the packs with doors and 3d crates/terminals yet. They look great, but they're frustration waiting to happen the second a figure bigger than 1x1 enters the battlefield.

The acrylic smoke doors available from Etsy are my favorite additions. They are much easier to deal with than the 3D holders, and won't tip over as easily as the default clips, and, they look great.

Check this out, as it is custom-made for Imperial Assault. I have painted a lot of this and it's great, although shipping is expensive to the US.

I really like the robot one, though again it would still present some problems with the companions rules.

I honestly just wish companions were treated like they are in Descent, with them taking up space unless they're something that logically wouldn't (like a ghost)
