A while back, Hawk Wargames released pdf's of their artwork for what would become their card buildings for Dropzone Commander. These shots below are of the card buildings released.
But as Dropzone Commander is 10mm, the buildings are just too big. So I used the original artwork, scaled it to 60% and voila, its ready to go.
The facades were printed on a laser printer, cut out, and fixed with spray fix to a building box cut out of foamcore or gator board. I made the first couple with gator board, but for such small buildings the increased structural rigidity is not needed and it is a real drawback to speed, cutting and burning through knife blades.
So we (me and the boy) switched to foam core and started rocking out building shells.
Here are the first 7 buildings guarded by my recently finished Ultramarines:
Since I can print these out at will, I can have as large a city as I need. I have 8 buildings, and about 30 more printed out.
I have some predators, drop pods, the rest of my bike company, and some titans to complete, then I am gonna work on enough terrain to fill a 6x8 table. I have a pretty good start with my JR Miniatures terrain, I need new roads, rivers, urban layered terrain and some additional hills.

I have a lot of good memories of Epic too. These came out very nicely! I don't know why they didn't just make DZC 6mm. No way I'm buying into 10mm sci fi that's mostly odd looking vehicles.
I agree. And some of them are interesting, but no thanks.
Nice looking buildings!
