The last couple of days I spent quite some time researching what terrain options are available nowadays for Adeptus Titanicus, including any possible gaming mats from a number of manufacturers.
Obviously most gaming mats are in the wrong scale (designed for 25 mm) and only work to a certain extent if at all with 6-8 mm scale models. Only two manufacturers offer specific mats for Adeptus Titanicus, however either the mats looked rather blank to me or where too crowded and strongly restricted free placement of any terrain i.e. buildings or ruins.
After hours of browsing the net I did find a mat though that had all that I was looking for: small streets, ruins, dirt and destroyed areas and it allowed for pretty much free placement of terrain, not on the streets of course ;)
This mat is the Infinity Nomads game mat from deepcut studio:
The mat has a very industrial and worn look and certainly provides a nice forge world feeling with large destroyed areas, power cables, numbered landing pads or possibly cargo bays, and rust and dirt pretty much everywhere.
Scale wise it will fit the bill for Adeptus Titanicus I believe as there are no features on it that allow one to easily guess scale. It´s rather the opposite, many areas of the mat have really very small details (greebles) that belie any scale. I have ordered one of the mats and will possibly do a review once it arrives.
To go along with the mat, I will build some forge world style terrain, ruins and factories. I have some ideas already what to utilize for this terrain, more info on that is coming soon.
My plan is to build the terrain first and then use any leftovers on the Titan and Knight bases so that they fit nicely to the board. That´s it for now, thanks.
