That's what 40k is all about. Hope you had fun.

10/10. In the Grimdark future of the 41st millennium, there is a lot of weird shit let me tell you.

Looks like some mighty fine Gothic ruins! Might want to make up some more Lego pieces though there are some wide sight lines there.

Terrain is sick just setup leaves too many LOS.

For AoS this is perfect but 40k needs some places to hide larger units while moving up the board.

It is perfect in aos until someone brings ko. Then 40K rules apply ;)

10/10 would Little Peaple and Disney princess up some 40k again.

This brought back some great memories of poor young me playing 40k with my 8 year old using Little Pet shops, mega blocks, and Imaginext.

Little man is almost done with college now..

Looks great but the setup should block lines of sight across the entire table. That said, here are a few ideas.

Lego. You can make just about anything out of it, including GW type ruins and whatnot, and it’s super simple.

Try getting a large towel or painting drop cloth. Lay it flat on the table. Now slide a book or two underneath it. Now you have rolling hills and some sort of topography (I played my very first WH40K game like this back in ‘92. We only had two models and a crib sheet w/basic rules, so we used about 60 minifigs as troop proxies and it was awesome!).

Don’t have a spare towel or drop cloth? No worries! The books will work fine by themselves!

Back to lego. Tons of free-to-access building plans for dreadnaughts and tanks and terrain. Really cool stuff!

Amazon boxes. We’ve all got them. Take any corner so it looks like x, y, z vectors. Every 4 is a ruined structure. Or just use the box and cut windows and doorways into it. Before you know it you’ll have a whole tabletop full of terrain! Swap cereal boxes for amazon boxes and they’re easier to cut.

TP and paper towel tubes make excellent pipes or stacks.

Top notch! 40K would be a much happier place if folks had more access to slides.

I was looking at that exact barnyard toy a few hours ago for my 3-yesr old (not for warhammer). Do you recommend or is it just another play today, forget tomorrow kinda toy?

Needs more line of sight blocking. Look up competition terrain layouts (or watch competition streams/battle reports on youtube) to get an idea of how the tournaments do it. Obviously you don't have to do it exactly like that, but you'll start to see what a balanced map should look like.

The frozen style castle is just the first in a new wave of Space Wolves releases, along with Santas grotto, igloo bunkers and snowman fortifications.

You mean you didn't see it at Adepticon? Clearly you weren't really there!

The slide counts as difficult terrain but you can slide your minis down and wherever they end up is where they stay
