Add futuristic flair to your Warhammer 40k battlefields with United Empire’s modular terrain, bunkers, and Tau-style human auxiliaries.
If you have ever dreamed of marching your Tau or Gue’vesa forces through towering arcologies and fortified trench lines, War Scenery’s latest Kickstarter has your table covered. The United Empire set is a massive collection of 3D printable terrain and miniatures, designed with fast printing and gameplay in mind.
From imposing Great Defense Walls to intricate shrines, it delivers that cinematic sci-fi city siege feel straight to your hobby desk.
This campaign builds on War Scenery’s United Frontier theme, shifting the fight deep into the heart of the United Empire’s core worlds. These are not forgotten backwater outposts; these are the industrial moons and glittering megacities where the war has come home. Human Auxiliaries, the Gue’vesa, march under alien command, fighting street to street beneath the shadow of alien towers.
See how these kits can redefine your Warhammer 40k tabletop or Tau Army!
What’s Included?
The Terrain Pledge delivers the full set of buildings, fortifications, and scatter pieces from this Kickstarter. Highlights include the Great Defense Wall, City Plateau, modular trenches, and multiple shrines inspired by Dawn of War designs. The Hover Platform and Power Storage Battery add a distinct Tau aesthetic, while sensor masts and barricades help fill out the battlefield.
Everything is optimized for FDM printing without supports, saving you time and material. For resin fans, these models translate over easily, keeping that crisp detail. Stretch goals promise even more, from urban vegetation to alternative heavy weapon options.
Miniatures for the Auxiliaries
The Human Auxiliaries are the real standout in the miniatures line. They fit perfectly into Tau forces, whether you run them as auxiliaries in narrative campaigns or convert them for other sci-fi systems. The base pledge gets you the full set of infantry STLs, with options for physical resin minis if printing isn’t your thing.
Add-ons bring in Builder Caste workers and Merchant Caste emissaries, fleshing out the civilian and specialist side of the faction.
Flexible Pledge Options
Whether you just want terrain, only the minis, or the whole United Empire package, there’s a pledge for it. The Complete Pledge folds in all previous United Frontier releases, giving you enough terrain for sprawling battlescapes.
Commercial printing licenses are also available, perfect for event organizers or small-scale sellers.
Where to Back It
You can back the United Empire Kickstarter directly through its campaign page on Kickstarter. Simply head over to the official project link, scroll through the pledge tiers, and select the one that fits your needs, whether that’s terrain, miniatures, or the full bundle.
Once you’ve chosen, click the green “Back this project” button, confirm your pledge level, and finalize payment. The campaign page also lets you add optional extras like the Builder Caste or Merchant Caste models. Be sure to keep an eye on the updates section, as War Scenery regularly posts progress renders, stretch goal announcements, and print tests so you can see exactly what you’ll be getting.
