Amount of Terrain

Alright, so the rulebook says that you should have 25% of your table filled with terrain. Different sizes, things that totally block line of sight and area terrain etc. Normally I think me and my friends have decent amount of terrain, but not enough LOS blocking terrain.

This can be crucial though, as close combat based armies need to get close without getting shot to pieces and shooty based armies need to be able to shoot things before they get into close combat. If your not playing on the correct amount of terrain then you might be unbalancing some armies and ruining the game for some others.


The picture to the right is an example of the test battle I just had with my Eldars (against the lootas). Also this game board is really -WIP-. You can easily see that theres some terrain, but not really any line of sight blocking pieces.

I'll really try to make it a mission to make sure that theres 25% of the table filled with all kinds of different terrain. Just to make sure that its balanced enough for all armies.

Whats your opinion about the amount of terrain? How much terrain do you place on the table for it to be balanced for all armies?
