OK, so shoot me. I've been trawling the interwebz having a look at terrain. (no shock there I guess)
What game would use 14th-16th century Japanese style terrain/buildings? Malifaux?

All of the above BUT if you were making it for Infinity, you NEED at least 2-3 times the amount of terrain that you would generally make for 40k.
Pretty much any skirmish level game could use a Asian style table. Please make one and help inspire me to get off my butt and make mine! Diary please??? |

Infinity does need terrain about every 8 in inches maybe half blocking.
I don't see a problem with Peach trees or rock spires making up the difference. Also those arch things will be totally useless but look amazing. Feel free to bung up links I did not get further than my old thread, need someone who reads Chinese I think. Japanese have nice arches but Chinese buildings look nicer...and Tibetan ones are big and are plausible bunkers, too. Anything Asian will look mad with Malifaux releasing a whole book of Ten Thunders crews lead by Misaki.

If we don't find a good alternative I will order those Chinese ones at 20 euro each so we have a reference.

John Jenkins Designs has some lovely Japanese 17-18c buildings but Oshiro Modelterrain is much, much better.
As you would expect neither are cheap to buy. http://www.johnjenkinsdesigns.com/28JAP.htm http://www.oshiromodelterrain.co.uk/catalogue28.html -------------------- If it's a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it's a point four-five caliber, short-chamber, boxer-primed miracle."

Would look amazing! |

How keen are you, Bec?
I will order a set of Japanese gear for you when I know where I am working next. I was leaning towards the Chinese Balsa buildings as they can be done all futuristic with clean whites. Happy with either really, will find some good blossoming peach trees. Being a luddite I thought the Chinese buildings looked more Japanese at first  -------------------- Adventures in Army Painter Soft Tone:

I was thinking of making a table with 16C Japanese resin buildings, enclosed temple and samurai buildings, gardens, village and perhaps a few rice paddies and suzuki. [edit] Oh, and peach trees are native to northern India and Pakistan (I have walked through a forrest of native peaches there) and Japan is well known for cherry blossoms, they even hold a festival each year to do just that.
