Product Details

What’s Included

2 MM THICK TERRAIN TEMPLATES.

GW recently published new downloadable terrain-area templates designed to help players theme their battlefields around different environments while keeping terrain footprints consistent for matched play.

This free Fallout Hobbies STL set gives you printable terrain footprint you can use as the groundwork for your own scenery.

What These Are

These are flat printable terrain-areas designed to sit under ruins, walls, jungle growth, industrial structures, barricades, rock formations, shrines, or other battlefield scenery.

Print the footprint you need, build your terrain directly on top of it, and paint or texture the base to match the rest of your table.

5 STL Files Five different terrain-area shapes for common battlefield layouts.
Approx. 2 mm Thick Low-profile enough for tabletop use while still giving scenery a solid foundation.
Digital Download No physical product is included. Print at home using FDM or resin.
Free Because sometimes a useful hobby tool should just be a useful hobby tool.

Included Shapes

  • Long Strip
  • Large Triangle
  • Medium Rectangle
  • Short Strip
  • Large Rectangle

How to Use Them

Build directly onto the footprint or keep larger scenery pieces removable so models can move through dense terrain while the footprint stays in place.

  • Ruined buildings and walls
  • Industrial complexes and machinery
  • Alien jungles and forests
  • Rock formations and wasteland terrain
  • Corrupted shrines and ritual sites
  • Barricades and defensive positions
  • Modular removable terrain pieces
Why We Made Them

GW's new terrain templates are a genuinely useful idea. Keep the gameplay footprint consistent, then let the hobbyist decide what the battlefield actually looks like.

That is pretty much Fallout Hobbies territory.

So these are free.

Print them. Cover them in ruins. Turn them into a jungle. Build something on top of them. They are terrain foundations. They can take it.

Fallout Hobbies Field Manual

STL Printing Field Manual

Everything you need to print, assemble, and finish your Fallout Hobbies STL files with fewer failed prints and better tabletop results.

Printing & Materials

Choose resin for minis. Resin printers are still the gold standard for high-detail miniatures, bits, weapons, and accessories. ABS-like resin is a strong default for durability. A useful shop-tested mix is adding about 20-30% Siraya Tech Tenacious resin into your primary resin to improve toughness.

FDM printing has improved significantly for minis, but it still takes patience. Tree supports, low layer heights around 0.10 mm, and high infill usually give the best shot at clean results.

Support & Orientation

Perfect your supports. Over-supporting is usually better than watching a print fail six hours in. Auto-supports in Lychee Slicer or Chitubox are useful, but always manually check for islands, long flat surfaces, and the undersides of limbs or weapons.

Manual orientation matters. Before generating supports, rotate models roughly 15-40 degrees to reduce suction forces, improve drainage, and move support scars away from visible faces.

Assembly & Post Processing

Safety first. Uncured resin is toxic. Use nitrile gloves, wear a respirator when appropriate, keep the space very well ventilated, and try to keep your printing area above 73°F / 23°C.

Clean and dry fully. Wash prints in isopropyl alcohol, let them dry completely, then cure under UV light. Curing wet prints can leave that chalky white residue nobody asked for.

Assembly. Gorilla Super Glue Gel works well for fast, strong assembly.

Plastic Putty: Products like Vallejo Plastic Putty are excellent for filling thin, small gaps on plastic miniatures and models. It can be applied with a toothpick or cotton swab and easily smoothed out.

Epoxy Putties: Putties like Milliput or Magic Sculpt are two-part formulas. They offer superb control and can be sculpted or carved perfectly, making them an industry standard for miniatures.

Liquid Plastic Cement: For gaps between two plastic pieces, applying a liquid cement (such as Tamiya Extra Thin) melts the adjacent plastics together. The resulting melted plastic acts as its own gap filler.

Terrain & Large Scale Prints

Use FDM where it shines. Large terrain, bunkers, pipes, craters, modular tiles, organizers, and hobby aids are often better suited to FDM than resin.

Clean up the print. For small FDM defects or elephant foot on first layers, use a sharp hobby knife, box cutter, sanding tools, or a micro grinder to smooth flat surfaces.

Magnetize modular builds. Magnets can help stacked buildings and multi-level terrain stay stable during games.

FAQ

Why did an STL I wanted disappear from your site?

If an STL you were looking for is gone, it's almost always because of one thing: a certain large, litigious manufacturer that dominates this hobby has a long history of going after small creators and treating the very fans who built this community as a threat rather than the lifeblood it is. Even designs that company doesn't produce or sell themselves can land a small shop like ours in their crosshairs.

When that risk shows up, we take the file down rather than gamble with the business and our ability to keep serving you. We'd rather pull a product than put the shop at risk for making something hobbyists genuinely want.

So if a file vanished, that's why. We're not happy about it either.

Can I sell prints made from these STL files?

No. These files are for personal use only unless you have purchased and are following the Fallout Hobbies merchant license terms.

Can I resize the files?

Yes, for your own personal hobby projects. Resizing does not change the license terms or grant resale rights.

Are these physical products?

No. STL products are digital downloads for 3D printing. No physical printed parts are shipped unless the product page specifically says otherwise.

What printer should I use?

For high-detail miniatures, bits, weapons, and accessories, resin printers usually produce the cleanest results. FDM printers are excellent for large terrain, storage, and scenery pieces.
