what sort of terrain do you want? youtube has lots of videos showing how to make your own from household items or waste. if you're looking to spend some money, i consider ttcombat to be great value.

If you're looking to buy older style sci-fi terrain (as opposed to pure "grim dark gothic") then Scotia Grendel have some very old school buildings in their NBO range (well they look old because they are old!). You can see them here https://www.shop.scotiagrendel.com/inde ... 20a&page=4 I've been wondering about getting some myself at some point. I can certainly second TTCombat, I've some of their resin pieces and they are nice, I'm still undecided personally on MDF terrain (just building my first piece now!)
Otherwise aquarium plants, lichen and stacked plastic bowls are your friends!

It's a bit messy, but paper mache will let you build up some fairly impressive terrain. Cheap and light weight.
This lady has all sorts of videos on using it to make sculptures... but her recipe and techniques are quite versatile. The main trick is to keep the layers thin-ish and plan for plenty of drying time.

I've had my eye on some of the HAB buildings from Zen Terrain (https://www.zenterrain.com/en_US/p/HAB- ... pack-2/162), I thought they might fit an older rogue trader style with the right paint job and some propaganda posters on the walls. Some of the stuff from MicroArts is quite nice and generic, I've got some of the "outpost" hard foam pieces (mine did need quite a lot of tedious bubble filling) which look good on the tabletop.

just seen this: https://www.waylandgames.co.uk/terrain- ... enery-pack, which seems like it could be a good start to getting scenery on the table.

Oh that reminds me I have a ton of resin Kryomek buildings to paint!
I too, want to make RT era scenery. Later RT, ie, Ork village, alien jungle, etc. from the 2e book pictures.
Also if anyone cares, Geo-Hex is back in production. I bought a modest selection of desert stuff (basic set, rough hills, couple spare flat hexes,flocked mat) so I could replicate the scenery table from the D6 Star Wars Miniatures Battles rulebook.
I am thinking of getting a green flocked mat too, to put my RT era scenery on.

I don't want a grass effect. I want a mid 1990's 'Eavy Metal battle scenes effect!
