Wargaming terrain generation

Too many times has terrain generation been a necessary evil in my group. Either there's too much of one terrain type and we run out of ways to model it, or random generation required terrain that we don't have.

I recently found this universal card-based terrain generator inspired by Fantasy Battleground's Kingdoms expansion. I recommend using it as limits the number of terrain pieces that you would require while still keeping with adequate randomness to keep things interesting.

Terrain Options

I've been mulling over some ideas for 4-6 pieces of VC themed terrain. I don't want to build a castle or anything like that, limiting the size of a single terrain piece to a maximum dimension of 8".

The quick ideas are:

• A mansion of some kind. Maybe a tower due to size limits
• A cemetary or crypt (a forest of headstones?)
• A burial mound
• A swamp or bog

I have forest and rivers and hills (oh my!). I just want to have something a bit more characterful. If you have any other ideas let me know.
