I'm in need of some dungeon terrain for Songs of Blades and Heroes, I've seen the World Works stuff and the TerrainLinx Lost Halls look like just what I need but a tad too complicated, unless I could just use it as flat tiles with some posts and doors. I've seen the Fat Dragon deluxe dungeon set but I don't know how good it would be for skirmish games. I'd like something that I can make, set up, and tear down quickly. Is there anything else out there?

There are quite a few sets of Dungeon tiles that would be usable with the Songs of Gold and Darkness game. Papermakeit has a free set of excellent dungeon tiles by Dave (Tonsha) Ashton. SkeletonKeyGames eTiles line offers a pretty large variety of tile sets for purchase. And these are easy to print and assemble. I'd recommend ones from the Cartophile Line, Lair of Vermithraxus, Dungeons of the Dead and Temple of the Spider Queen are standouts 2d tile sets imo. 0One (that's Zero One) has a Complete Corridors set would work really well for SBnD. As well as quite a few of their other sets. Fat Dragon Games has a very good line of simple to print Dungeon tiles. All are the usual high quality texture work. The Copper Dragon - Basic Tiles, Dragon Tiles and EZTiles are the 2d tile set lines currently available.
World Works Games DungeonLynx set would work well too. This is probably the highest quality in terms of a high quality and very thematic feel because of the excellent texture work. Empty Rooms tile sets are absolutely fantastic in terms of the artwork and texture quality. They have some nice sets avaiable too.
WorldWorksGames's new set Lost Halls of the Dwarven Kings (to me) looks like the best mix of 2d and 3d elements that could be played along the lines of WarhammerQuest. (ie. you could opt for no walls and link them together with the posts and 2.5d doors). Their full blown 3d dungeon & Castle sets would be excellent but do require a bit more work. Same with FatDragons EZDungeons and Wilderness sets. There are quite a few others on DriveThruRPG/RPGNow websites. Just do a search for 2d tiles.

Floyd... that's an almost overwhelmingly comprehensive list!
On looking at the various sets today and last night I think I might go with the Lost Halls of the Dwarven Kings, because I can always get the basic tiles out quickly to play on and then take my time building the walls and details to make it all pretty later.
Thanks very much for taking the time to make that reply!

I have to say that worldworksgames' TLX is brilliant and gorgeous, I'd totally be in love with it if not because I think without a craftrobo/silhouette I'd end up dead cutting all that stuff... I reckon there could be 5 from 10 minutes worth of work for a single terrain tile, counting foamboard cuts, anchor posts and such, and I must say, it's just too much for me... golem101 on these forums (whom I know from another forum) is building himmelveil manually, and while I admire his dedication I can't see where he gets the stamina for such an overwhelming job... there could pass months before one gets to play even once on a TLX terrain without craftrobo, so I hope you have one if you think on going with it...

From my day job. It's actually quite refreshing after 8-9 hours in front of a monitor drawing mechanical pieces and pipings with CAD software.
