Sci-fi Terrain Table Ideas
-
Epic Scale City Terrain
The scale of Titans and mechs is really evident when you have them next to massive skyscrapers! You can read more about our Epic Scale Terrain here
-
Fight on different planets!
Not every city needs to be a ruin and not every building needs to be Gothic ruins - It would be mathematically and practically impossible to have the same architecture style and materials for diverse planets and cultures!
-
Team Yankee Terrain - Cold War City
Brutalism was an architectural style which started in England and France. It gained popularity worldwide including in the Warsaw Pact countries during the cold war - But it suits Sci-fi tables too - just look at any sci-fi movie from the 70's onwards. A recent example is the Martian embassy from the expanse.
-
Cyberpunk Terrain
Okay, you're probably not going to play like this, as you need to see your dice rolls. But it's a fun picture!
-
Infinity Terrain
The Trapper Biotech kits allow you to stack the modules in different ways to keep your games and table fresh!
-
Gunpla City Terrain
The 6-15mm range suits Gunpla dioramas and other mech games!
-
Desert outpost terrain
The flexibility of the terrain kits like The Institute make them suitable for off-world sci-fi tables.

Grave Trigger Terrain
A ruined city is the setting for a monster fight! Multi-levelled tall buildings afford many places to hide and ambush from.

Fortified Outpost Terrain
With a few Adamant walls you can cordon off your table or create fortified complexes to defend!
-
Trapper Biotech Research Station
The Trapper Biotech buildings and Hex Platforms paired with a water mat lets you create a floating research station.
-
Medieval/Fantasy Terrain
The Adamant Masonry Walls with Walkways and Battlements let you create modular terrain designs and ruined sections - perfect for medieval or fantasy games.
-
15mm City Terrain
The tall office buildings and public spaces mixed with natural elements lets the 15mm terrain shine. Ruins in the background show this is a heavily contested city.
-
Tournament Terrain
Read Blog Post About this Terrain LayoutThe tournament-friendly Eternity Labs table has a consistent paint scheme that ties the terrain together and leads to a cohesive wargaming experience. If you play infinity, there is a more in-depth article about the table design from the table owner

Fantasy Skirmish Terrain
Some natural elements like tree armatures and walled sections makes this board ideal for skirmish or roleplaying fantasy games.
-
Modular Hab Terrain
Menacing kits close together with plenty of ladder access gives you plenty of options to use the verticality of the board to your advantage.
-
BattleTech Terrain
A large public building serves as a terrain centrepiece and compliments the 6mm scale. A mix of foliage and trees gives these walkers a stage to shine on during your battles.
-
City Ruin Terrain
Using a mix of intact and ruined buildings makes the table great for campaigns and interior play in a futuristic warzone.
-
High Rise City Terrain
By combining high-rise kits, walled terrain and an urban themed mat, you can create avenues for tanks while the infantry flank and use height to their advantage.
-
Cyberpunk Terrain
Playing around with acrylic signage and simple LED lights makes this table a cinematic and realistic cyberpunk city. The different heights opens up different tactical possibilites.
-
Gang Warfare Terrain
Urban apartments and underground clubs with plenty of graffiti transforms these buildings into gang territory. Step back narcs.
-
6-15mm Maschinen Krieger Terrain
The subway/bunker exit on the outskirts of a city allowed this force to quickly relocate and take the high ground in the coming conflict.
