New Gothic Cityscape Terrain Incoming
Our exciting new Gothic Cityscape terrain set will be replacing the Gothic Core set when it lands in January 2024. Stocks of our current Gothic terrain were getting low and, as one of our older kits, it was starting to show its age a little. Instead of reprinting it, we’ve decided to refresh and upgrade it to make it more suitable for the games people are playing now.
The updated set comes complete with refreshed Gothic terrain, the Gothic Ruins* kit, and the Engineering Sector* set all in one box. These modular elements let you create multiple ruined buildings and pieces of industrial equipment in any combination you choose, for a different set-up every time. It’s also compatible with the rest of the Battle Systems terrain range, giving you even more options. This means that it provides the perfect setting for skirmishes set in a grim dark futures, with plenty of cover and vantage points for your Kill Team warbands and Necromunda gangs to fight over.
*The Gothic Ruins, and the Engineering sector sets will continue to be available as separate kits too, making it easy to add more terrain for bigger builds.
Altogether, the kit comes with 303 pieces, meaning it is already fantastic value even without the beautiful new 22” x 30” (559mm x 762mm) neoprene mat that is included.
Ideal for games set in the Grim Dark future
The Gothic Cityscape is perfect for skirmish games like Kill Team, Necromunda, Stargrave, and Grimdark Firefight – and Core Space of course! It’s designed to be built into multi-level layouts to create vantage points for games like Kill Team, and also comes with barricades and a board packed with cover for your concealed operatives to move through. It works just as well for ruined cities and hives as it does for the interiors of the hulks of ancient spacecraft.
It’s also a flexible way to create atmospheric terrain for larger wargames like Warhammer 40,000 or Grimdark Future, or for encounters to challenge your players in the Wrath & Glory roleplaying game.
Best of all, it can be rebuilt or dismantled with ease, and then packed away into a small box for storage when you are done.

Will you ever be producing a set to make intact Gothic grimdark futuristic buildings?
I’d love to be able to build up boards with actual city districts for my RPG or Kill Team games, and currently there aren’t many viable options for that.

Well you can already make intact layouts with the Gothic Walls sheet that you get in this set (also sold separately), and you can pick up the Frontier Floor Tiles Pack for multi-level setups. We’re probably lacking in the roof department at the moment though – maybe something we can revisit in the future.

Can you further explain how current Gothic set is showing its age, and how the new terrain is being “refreshed” aside from the addition of the Gothic Ruins and Engineering Sector?

In terms of showing its age, it’s a couple of things, primarily the fact that it’s a very simple set. It only has two different sheets in the whole set and the mat is the exact same as the one in the Frontier set. It was from back in our early days when we were just making pretty things without putting too much thought into structuring them as products. We also didn’t have as much experience with textures back then, so the artwork isn’t as weathered as we’d like to get the more realistic look of our recent products.
The main change with the new set is that it’s been reconfigured to better suit what most players need it for, and to be far more flexible too. Of course if you already have the old set, and you have the Gothic Ruins and Engineering Sector, you won’t get much from the new set – it’s really targeted at players who don’t already have these products. There are some improvements on the artwork front too – we’ve added more weathering textures to all the components. It may not be too obvious in the photos, but that’s the whole point :-P. The more obvious artwork update is the mat – this set now has a bespoke mat to better tie in with the design.
