Editing Realm of Battle (section)

== Forge World ==

[[Forge World]] has released some terrain tiles of their own, which are much more detailed and harder to scratch-build and thus more worthy of consideration (and also more expensive, but that should not be a surprise).

The first is the "Imperial Strongpoint," which is edge-compatible with the Citadel kit's quarter-hills, but is shaped on the interior like the opening to a bunker, with pillboxes, a generator, and some dragon's-teeth tank traps in front of a set of blast doors leading into a hill.

Later, for their [[Imperial Armour]] volumes focusing on the [[Badab War]], FW released four "Zone Mortalis" tiles (designated Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta), which are flat 1-foot-by-1-foot tiles with walls arranged in different patterns. The idea is that they can be assembled into mazes to represent the cramped environment of boarding missions, [[Space Hulk]]s, bunker interiors, and other such situations. Modular mazes where everything is at right angles are relatively straightforward to scratch-build, but FW did a great job on the texturing and detail ([[Imperium of Man|Imperial]] iconography only, though -- sorry, [[xenos]] and [[Chaos]] players). They later expanded the line with Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, and Theta patterns, as well as little doors, desks, and other (Imperial-looking) scenery bits to spice things up.

As part of the first wave of [[Horus Heresy]] releases, FW produced four "Cityscape" tiles, with detailed, rubble-strewn streets, wrecked vehicles, industrial-looking bits, and slightly-raised platforms for buildings and other scenery. Again, they're expensive, but they look great (like everything else Forge World makes). They later released a crashed-[[Thunderhawk]] tile and a [[Space Marine]] fortress. As part of the lead-up to the release of [[The Horus Heresy Book 3: Extermination]], in March 2014, they announced the "Generatorum Nexus" (big ol' half-exposed generator turbines and dynamos) and "Manufactorum Sector" tiles (some half-sunken industrial buildings that take up space but don't have flat tops, so models can't stand on them).

For [[Imperial Armour Volume Twelve]], Forge World produced a [[Necron]]-themed tile, the Tomb Citadel. It depicts a [[Wikipedia:ziggurat|ziggurat]]-like structure, with layers and steps rising to a step pyramid in the corner. Said pyramid has an indentation on top that permits a [[Monolith]] to rest there.
