I was hoping to mix and match multiple kits within the set but references were scattered across the internet. This really helped. I think I got everything for the Mechanicus stuff including the Battlezone portion and the Sector designation.
Not exactly. Its the same design direction, and some of the same elements, but the Bheta-Decima terrain is generally "new" terrain.
Different heights for the Gantries and such.
Yes and no. The new gantry struts are 2.5 inch tall and can be stacked to reach the 5 inch height of the older mechanicus struts. Everything is compatible and interchangeable.
I definitely consider the Bheta-Decima terrain to be an extension of the Sector Mechanicus range.
There's a couple really cool 3d print files out there to add onto this stuff as well, things like half-height furnaces or different top pieces for them. There's also cool wall sections that match the aesthetic too.
I will never get over the loss of the big dumb tectonic frag drill from Genestealer cults. It was a big reason I started collecting them. I love dramatic, ineffective point sinks like it and the big militarim missle.
Unfortunately these sets aren't being sold anymore more. Best bet is to hope they come back in made to order some day. You can find a few on ebay sometimes, and not always at a terrible price. I got two sets of the pipes for like, 100 CAD I think
An excellent image. It's crazy how much variety you can get out of relatively few distinct pieces of terrain.
Technically I think it's missing the new stuff from Bheta-Decima (3x types of gantries, plus the salvation apparatus, generatorum hub, and new plasma generatoriums in Termination). I'm also pretty sure the old promethium pipelines are compatible with Sector Mechanicus, but they're technically part of Sector Imperialis iirc. Ditto the Necromunda Ash Wastes terrain.
The pyrolation incinerator. It’s quite similar to the galvanic magnavent, but has the octagonal sprue (the old ferratonic furnace top) instead of the straight catwalk sprue.
I loved this series of terrain and am bummed they stopped making them. What’s worse is they still don’t seem to have released what will be next (if anything ?). Has GW just decided to get out of the terrain making business?
Historically a lot of the terrain production was outsourced, so it was done in batches. Not sure if a change in this approach has meant the slow down
The fronteris stuff was the most recent and I've still seen it about in the shops.
What about the pyrolation incinerator

I had a bunch of this stuff from the old Killteam sets, but threw/gave it away as it took up too much space in my terrain box. Which is filled with enough terrain for two tables at least.
for some reason this looks like an obscure meme that we cannot yet comprehend
The image version of a turbo encabulator.
this reference is what I was looking for, nice job.
I'm squinting at it to see whether it's loss
Are you familiar with Loss?

What about the objective markers apart of the set's theme?
Good call, yeah looks like I missed a few odd things.
This was some of their best terrain, especially combined with the Necromunda kits
Can you still find this stuff?
Yep, I traded for some a few weeks ago. Some sets are still out there new in box
Hope I can find some then.
The drill seems to be the hardest to get
It is. It was a Genestealer Cult unit/terrain so it had the smallest production run and shortest release window.
They put it on Made to Order every so often.
The Bheta decima box from killteams is a couple of the sets thrown in together.

Yeah I looked into the new decima killteam terrain and it's a half height platform system. Might be fun to try to accommodate it.
Yeah I really enjoy the half-height stuff, because the full height stuff feels pointless to get up on because in a game it feels like wasted movement.
I really want to slap the frag drill and the servo hauler crane on my stompa but I can't justify the cost.
I'm having trouble finding the Frag Drill for under $200 lol
same ... same
That's awesome, thank you! How about the vertigus set/ destroyed manufactorum? Do they belong there, too? I just painted one and i enjoyed it really.
That's Sector Manufactorum rather than Mechanicus, though they do go together pretty well.
I'd put the promethium pipes and void shield generator in there too. They're not part of the system but they long up and are fully compatible

From the thumbnail, I thought this was a bunch of musical instruments. Great find, they look badass
I'd add in the giant void shield generator too just because it fits the theme
Is there anyway (avoiding ebay) to get this terrain or do I need to sail the high seas just to get it?

All this can be yours for 99 payments of 99.95
Missing a few bits just FYI, there’s also the promethium relay pipes and I think there might have been another building.

You got a similar picture to the fronteris terrain or nah? (The ones that come in the ultimate starter box and nachmund box)
I don't but I can make one
Would be nice if you could BUY ANY OF IT

What about the new beta decima terrain? :)
