A recent post on YTTH by Stelek regarding the proper amount of 40K terrain and some comments here and there on my own blog regarding terrain has a question I’ve been meaning to ask for some time.
What is the proper amount of terrain in 40K and does it make some armies unplayable in certain matchups? We all know the 25% rule but 25% of what? What is the optimal mix? A big piece of LOS blocking terrain in the center? Something like that would really help my Tyranids at least make it to the center. In all of my tournament experiences so fat I’ve never looked at a table and thought- wow that is a lot of terrain! Usually it is the opposite- I hope I don’t get stuck playing on that table!
Now from the POV of a club and tournament organizer I don’t think this is a conspiracy of sorts. As a TO you have X number of tables to fill and sometimes you have to make things stretch a bit to pack in more players, and more players = more fun and more loot.
At a club smaller terrain is easy to carry and store. So what do you guys think the correct amount of terrain is? What armies get screwed by lots of terrain? Little terrain?
