11th Edition Complete Battlefield Terrain Set

Take the Guesswork Out of Building a 40K Battlefield

40K 11th edition introduced some really cool predetermined battlefield layouts that show you exactly how to set up the battlefield and what terrain goes where. They didn't do a great job sharing the dimensions of the terrain pieces and figuring out what terrain to use can be surprisingly confusing. There are countless terrain models available, but figuring out which pieces you actually need, what sizes they should be, and how everything fits together on an 11th Edition battlefield can become a project of its own.

This collection was created to simplify that entire process.

I carefully studied the battlefield layouts shown in the 40K app, determined the different terrain footprints and sizes needed to recreate them, and designed a complete, coordinated set that allows players to print everything required for a functional battlefield in one place.

Instead of downloading unrelated models from multiple creators and hoping they work together, this set provides a clear starting point for new players and a convenient, consistent battlefield system for experienced players. Also, I included A1 Mini Print Profiles as well, so the game has never been more accessible.

What’s Included

The complete collection includes:

• Battlefield terrain footprints
• Light terrain features
• Dense terrain features
• Standard objective markers
• Central and expansion objective markers
• Deployment zone markers
• Coordinated pieces designed to work together as one battlefield system

The terrain footprints clearly define each terrain area, while the light and dense terrain pieces provide the physical structures needed to make the battlefield easy to understand and play on.

The objective and deployment zone markers make setup faster and reduce the need to repeatedly measure important locations before every game.

AB, CD, EF, and GH Dense Terrain

The dense terrain pieces were specifically designed and marked to correspond with the AB, CD, EF, and GH terrain categories shown in the battlefield layouts within the 40K app.

This makes it much easier to identify which dense terrain piece belongs in each location when setting up a battlefield.

Rather than comparing several similar-looking pieces, estimating dimensions, or trying to determine which terrain feature matches each layout position, simply select the appropriately marked AB, CD, EF, or GH model.

This labeling system helps make battlefield setup faster, clearer, and more approachable—especially for players building their first complete terrain collection.

Designed for Fast, Reliable Printing

Every part of this collection was created with practical 3D printing in mind.

The main design goals were:

• Fast print times
• Low filament use
• High printing success rates
• No support material required
• Simple, reliable geometry
• Easy battlefield setup
• Clear and consistent terrain sizes
• Minimal preparation after printing

All models were designed to print without supports and can be used immediately after removing them from the build plate.

There should be no support removal, complicated assembly, or extensive cleanup required. Print the pieces, remove them from the plate, and place them directly on the battlefield.

These models are intended to be accessible to newer 3D-printer owners and players who may be building their first complete 40K battlefield.

They are functional gaming pieces first. Not overly complicated display models that require days of printing, large amounts of filament, or extensive post-processing.

Recommended Printing Approach

For the clearest gameplay experience, I recommend printing the footprints, light terrain, and dense terrain in different colors.

Using separate colors makes it easier to quickly tell which terrain category a piece belongs to and helps reduce confusion when applying terrain rules during play.

This is especially helpful for newer players, teaching games, or anyone trying to make battlefield interactions more intuitive at a glance.

For example, using one color for footprints, another for light terrain, and another for dense terrain can make it much easier to determine which terrain rules apply when models move into, through, or around a terrain feature.

A Complete Starting Point for New Players

This set is especially useful for someone who has recently started playing 40K and is asking:

• What terrain do I need?
• How large should each terrain area be?
• Which pieces are light terrain and which are dense terrain?
• Which dense terrain piece corresponds with AB, CD, EF, or GH?
• How do I reproduce the battlefield layouts shown in the app?
• How many objective markers do I need?
• Where should deployment zones and objectives be placed?

The goal is to remove as much uncertainty as possible so you can spend less time researching terrain and more time printing, painting, and playing.

Modular and Easy to Customize

The pieces can be printed as a complete matching set or mixed with terrain you already own.

Terrain footprints can also be used with ruins, buildings, rock formations, industrial structures, or other decorative terrain placed within the marked areas. This makes the system useful even as your terrain collection grows.

Print the included terrain for a quick, lightweight battlefield, or use the footprints and markers as the foundation for a more detailed custom table.

Additional Helpful Models

Along with this terrain set, you may want something for quick measurements between models. I highly recommend this adjustable compass style range finder by The Moose and Bolter.  https://makerworld.com/en/models/2730760-kt-range-finder-the-ultimate-adjustable-compass#profileId-3026517

If you need wound trackers, I have a few listed here on MakerWorld and specifically this one linked below is designed to be lightweight and easy to print just like this terrain set. https://makerworld.com/en/models/3011980-wound-tracker-engagement-range-gauge-11th-ed#profileId-3382976

Important Note

This is an unofficial, community-created terrain and battlefield setup system intended for tabletop wargaming.

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by Games Workshop. Battlefield requirements, event standards, and tournament interpretations may vary, so always confirm the requirements of your local gaming group or event organizer.

The models are designed as a practical way to recreate and organize the battlefield layouts represented in the 40K app while making the process easier for players and 3D-printing hobbyists.

Print the set, build your battlefield, and start playing without the guesswork.
