I'm looking at boards and mats to go with Shadow War - my old citadel battle mat might not look right in the hive...

And I was thinking, the 'best' of these - the realm of battle sector imperialis - might not look right. There is not enough flat spaces and if you look at the armageddon terrain photos, they are not centre of a concrete (plascrete?) plinth - they are just in the middle of a road or pavement (sidewalk for the colonial cousins) with girders and pipes springing up randomly.

This for me also appplies to some battlemats - I find anything that tries to simulate 3D whilst being noticeably 2D, can detract. A bit like 'virtual' surround sound - its never never as good.

Does anybody else find this or is it just some sort of terrain OCD I suffer from?
