Terrain styles by house?

Is there any reference as to what each houses terrain style is like?
Shael han - comparable to ancient Japan?
Teknes - industrial?
Goritsi - Classic undead?
Hadross and nasier really have me at a loss though. I can't picture anything for these two.

Any thoughts?

You mean for like, bases and stuff, or game boards? Because I've got some official artwork and scenery you might be interested in.

I get a 403 Forbidden - message...

I plan to run Japanese - with FIRE for my Nasier. Graveyard and old ruins for Goritsi. Chinese garden for Shael Han.

Thanks hissho, I mean for game board terrain. I'd definitely like to see your pics if you're able to fix the 403 error.
Oistene, it sounds like you have the right idea too. I need to sort out the difference between Chinese and Japanese buildings.

Ok, let's try these...

Goritsi art (https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0408/61/1435540745974.jpg).
Hadross art (https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0408/61/1435540995289.jpg).
Teknes art (https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0408/61/1435542298853.jpg).
Nasier art (https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0408/61/1435541711382.jpg).
Shael Han art (https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0408/61/1435541987532.jpg).

And here's Rob Hawkins display cases (http://robhawkinshobby.blogspot.se/p/wrath-of-kings-terrain.html) for scenery.
Edit: And here's a "from art to showpiece"-progress article (http://robhawkinshobby.blogspot.se/search/label/Wrath Of Kings Terrain.

Thanks, Hisso, this is truly great stuff. Rob's stuff is fantiastic - not playable as such, but great inspiration for scratchbuilders.

I don't get to play enough WoK to justify putting a huge effort into terrain, so for the moment I have some Japanese buildings for Nasier and some ruins for Goritsi. I'm working on more stuff for Goritsi in hope of crossing some of it over to my Warmachine Cryx army. Got a graveyard in the making... been in the making for nearly a year now. :p

I have similar questions as the OP. I have already seen Rob Hawkins great stuff but there are a few different pics of the lands of the houses in the rule book. The Nasier baffle me the most, especially since I have the bases from the Kickstarter which are jagged rocks (technically the "ice explosion" bases from groundwerks) yet one pic in the book has grassy fields and one is something different. I wish there was more lore about the lands they come from. Admittedly I have some pages left in the rule book narrative.

I want to build or modify some great bases and some great scenery but hope to find some more details about the lands that belong to each house.

Best estimates I can give is that:

Goritsi are reminiscent of Transylvania or New England (as seen in any horror movie). http://www.rolandia.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Hotel-Transylvania-2.jpg
Hadross are a predominately underwater civilisation, so beaches or partially submerged terrain is what I'd go for here.
Shael Han's domain of Achrion is a very mountainous region, according to the World map, so I'd take inspiration from things like the slopes of Mount Fuji and stuff in that vein. http://zoomingjapan.com/photos/yamanashi/mount-fuji/climbing-mount-fuji_23.jpg
Teknes are the industrial revolution, so I'd go with cobblestone for them. Think this -> https://www.phactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/gngs2.jpg
And Nasier... well, Kartoresh as depicted in the image I linked earlier seems to be pretty much rolling hills: http://www.mikereyfman.com/Photogra...Washington-American-Tuscany/photos/MR0130.jpg
