For those with a load of foamboard and cereal boxes I've a number of .pdf templates for buildings, terrain and ruins linked at the bottom of this page on my blog







Enjoy

Thanks a bunch.

Great Stuff!!!

Thank You so much!

These look great.

Pretty cool

Amazing work.

Thanks a bunch dude. Theres some neat stuff there so hopefully it will come in handy.

You're welcome. A new template was found, it's not much just a CD base that accepts my modular plug



But you can stick this in the plug:



Or even the top floor of this when I finish the plans:



So it would fit like it does in my man made hill:

Awesome! I built a game table a few weeks ago. Time to start mass producing terrain. Thanks for the hard work, these pieces are great!

Some more pictures of the free .pdf templates to build your own foamcard terrain all available here.



I know you may be wondering why anyone would want to make a 'man made hill' but my reasoning [explained in the blog] is that not everyone can get access to pink/white/peach/blue foam to make your standard hills but foamcard can be accessed relatively easily via ebay and craft shops.

So if you can make a hill equivalent with foam card that's one problem solved. It may be slightly more expensive in the long run but it's an option open to all terrain hobbyists. Here's another manmade hill design with the Plasma Generator plugged into the modular socket on top.



A lookout post:



A single storey building that can be made into a ruin which I've decided is a caffeine plaza or market place.



All .pdfs available here.

Fantastic. I'll definitely be making use of these.

This is some really great stuff. Keep up the good work!

Wow! Great stuff! Interesting blog, as well. I'll be following your rantings from here on out

Many thanks!

these are awesome

The so called Free Radical Collective have managed to secure more plans for a Cathedral Tower. Please do not download the plans and create non-sanctioned, non-approved by the Mechanicum structures. The FRC are believed to be a heretical institution and the further dissemination of STC patterns is in direct contravention of Adeptus Mechanicus protocols. Use of these plans will result in Inquisitorial retribution.



Do not point your cogitators here: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/data-blurt-free-radical-collective.html

Only existing approved STC patterns are available from this location: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/terrain-is-everything-standard-template.html

Your compliance is mandatory, All Hail the Omnissiah!

OK, that is awesome and is exactly what I'm looking for. What material did you use to make the Cathederal

That unsanctioned cathedral is awesome. DEFINITELY won't be making use of it

5mm foamboard or foamcard, it's available from art supplies and ebay a strip of foam sandwiched between two pieces of card. Use a craft knife or scalpel to cut it, all my templates are currently based on this with cereal and mounting card detailing. All you need do is print out a template and stick it to the card and cut away.

The Inquisition will be glad to hear it!

My gaming table greatly appreciates your contribution!

Thank you so much! Just what i needed. Recently bought a load of 5mm foam board cheap on ebay, so this is perfect. Cheers.

Thanks for this man!

If you saw I'd started a Tyranid Bastion with a foamboard core so I've added a template to my blog should you wish to grow your own version and need a starting point, it's here:

http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/you-asked-and-great-devourer-provides.html

Updates will be following shortly on the blog and in this thread, it's going really well, here's a little further on



And the crater base with slots to fit the template:

Avro Vulcan has resurfaced and bring you a new STC to build your own terrain - the Cetacean 'Vent' Tower and Baleen roof extension.

I am ITCHING to start making terrain. Too many projects going on to start!

The classic Warhammer Barn tutorial from a Relic copy of White Dwarf, how I miss the true meaning of 'hobby' from it's hallowed pages



http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/terrain-is-everything-white-dwarf.html

It would be pretty cool if they put these back in, but now they'd much rather sell terrain :(

Yep, I agree, so at least I can remind folks of the humble roots of the hobby.

I just built a gaming table in the garage and the next logical step is terrain. Thanks for putting up these templates! I'm sure I'll be using these in the near future.

Ooo...so many plans that make similar terrain. And all except one or two look really really easy too!

Awesome, once i get my army situated (kitbashing the feth out of my tau atm so theyre kinda unplayable unless i wanna proxy half the army lol) i am totally diving into this.

That hatch gives me an idea for a special terrain board - secret passage ways for troops - wonder if that would be good...or broken lol

The first of my new 'print and play designs has gone online. For gamers getting into the hobby or just wanting some cheap, simple but already textured terrain he's my 40k Administratum



http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/terrain-is-everything-hail-omnissiah.html

wow, really nice stuff. May I recommend a download link which has all of them? I got em all!

I'll think about it, Orinoco although all my STCs are here in one place already: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/terrain-is-everything-standard-template.html

Although I still need to add the print and play terrain too.

Another blast from the past while I finish up the set of print and play terrain - Warhammer hedges, walls and fences as described in White Dwarf magazine, thems were the days and you could get a bag of crisps for 5p!

Sorry to be a pain but any chance you could add measurements to your drawings? Would be easier I think..

How do you mean? Just a strip with some cms on or actual measurements for each bit, length height etc. Is it just so you can get the right scale? I do them as .pdfs and at A4 [mostly] so if you just print at 100% they should be bob on, unlike a .jpg wher eif you print them some printer won't interpret the 300dpi correctly and you'll end up with a massive picture. It's certainly something I will look into if I can see the reason why it would be of benefit, currently it's tough enough getting them out without them but if you've got a good enough case I'll do it.

It's a building trade habit I think. I'm used to my drawings having measurements on lol. If it's on A4 though probably best to mention it on the drawings. The GW stuff is about A4 size I think.

Dimensions is what he wants. Usually anything that is printed down and considered a blue-print shows how long edges are. Even if its to scale and you can just match the pieces up, usually people just measure it.

Tracing or eyeballing it can create a slightly off-shapen piece. Tracing usually makes a piece SLIGHTLY larger than the actual thing.

And the next FREE Print and Play building template is available, it's the same building but 3 storeys instead of 2. I'm also finishing off the wide building which should be available soon [sorry done before it was suggested to put page size on, it's A4]

Or go here for all my terrain templates: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/terrain-is-everything-standard-template.html

And the next FREE Print and Play building template is available, it's the same style 2 storey building but wider. This way you can make a larger square building, once again they're designed to fit on A4 paper. The easy way to make them is print them out onto an A4 Sticky label, attach to foamboard, cut out and glue together. You can choose whether to keep or remove the windows or indeed hack at it to make your own ruins instead of [shock horror] an actual free standing undamaged building in the 40k universe!



Point your cogitators here: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/terrain-is-everything-hail-omnissiah.html

The added bonus is you can alternatively use the first building template and make a rectangular building

Hope this is of use, please feel free to share the links with your firends, loved ones or even your arch-nemesis. Please don't offer it to Tyranid players, we will cry, I'm not going to blame the Codex but yes it's the Codex's fault. In fact I firmly believe the fact half Britain is being thrashed by a 'superstorm' is thanks to the Tyranid Codex!

It's my Birthday and traditionally I give away freebie on my blog. This year is no different and I've the tall version of the black tower to share with you. So make use of it to make your terrain that much more diverse:

Been a big fan of your STC stuff for a while, but never new about the print and play stuff until now.

Great stuff.

I'm replying to subcribe to this thread, so I can find it later.

I'll have a new print & play 'box' soon and working on some new skins for the standard templates too.

That's great !

Any chance you can finish the Plasma Generator plans ?



I'd love to build a few, but the plans leave me scratching my head.

That plasma generator looks great! In general, I'd love to see people do more DawnOfWar-style buildings! I saw someone build a great command bunker once, but that was waaay back...

I'm not sure what to do on this one, it is quite weird but I don't quite know how to illustrate it so it's easier and I'm an Information Designer! That's kind of why I chickened out and just let the Free Radical Collective release it. I'll have a look, maybe some component labels might make it a little clearer, meanwhile...



Finally got round to completing the last of the black building templates, the great thing about this one is you can combine it with the first building to get a wide square building or a narrow rectangular one [good lord I actually forgot the word 'rectangle' then, it took me two minutes to dig it out of my brain, how does something like that happen? Maybe my Dad's Alzheimers legacy is kicking in! still moving on...]

Great Job !

Labeling the Plasma Reactor parts may be all it needs. It certainly wouldn't hurt.

i've downloaded all the templates, can't wait to give a few a go, glad to find some great alternatives to GW's expensive alternative's!

Looks great!

Took a crack at your Plasma Generator Plans. They work as is, it just took me cut and pasting them around to figure out what part went where.



At some point I just started adding other stuff, but it should illustrate that the plans are good.

I'm going to build a second one, with clear rods, and some modifications to make it easier to assemble. After I'll share the modification I did with you.

That's the fella, I love the additions. Mine is down to about two thirds of it's plasma juice, somehow the hand wash I put in the pen cases has slowly evaporated. I love it when people take the design and make it their own, adding and remixing the template.
Standard Manifold Coupling Base

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B97Rk-BalgZbUm1VQ3hKNF8xNDQ

And then if you make a mand made hill it can pass as Void Shield Generator, it gives you a lot of options

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B97Rk-BalgZbd2NTd3JpUGpSbm1ldTRhUzFwd2NOdw/edit?usp=sharing

I may build that man made hill. The added height it will give the plasma gen will block line of sight.

Did you use zip ties to give the edge of the stair texture ?

I did indeed, thought it'd be handy and quick way to cover up the exposed foam ends, so they didn't melt when sprayed. Actually zip ties aren't always straight so it's a bit of a pain to cut out the foam to rebate the ties and get the to stay true when the ties are usually warped. Still, it doe make a nice effect, more detail is always nice. Although you can do it with or without as many sets of stair cases as you wish, to make it as easy or hard to make as you want. Also, the coupling socket also fits with the towers I've made and the Honoured Imperium statue sits on top of it neatly too. It's a handy piece of terrain, I use that one a lot in my games







Excuse the 'stool of doom' proxying for my Bastion [that I'd left at home] in the last pic

Been a while but another new FREE Print & Play building skin is available to print out and stick to foamboard. Rest assured the two other sizes will follow and I may then look at some extra sizes for more variety.

Thank you again for the work you put into these.

I have soo many hobby projects going on at once I keep procrastinating printing up a few of these. The kids are back in school in two weeks, so that may change soon.

It's that time again, a FREE building template to print out and attach to foamboard for some simple LoS blocking terrain. It's basically a box that's already coloured with a different building template. Nothing fancy, just enough to get you going if you're starting out in the hobby or on a budget.

http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/terrain-is-everything-hail-omnissiah.html

Thank you Dwez, for the new building.

I still haven't gotten arond to buidling any of these pre-fabs yet, but I did manage to build two of your Plasma Generators and a Man Made HiIl

Dude, this is awesome stuff! I have about ten Cities of Death building kits to assemble, but I'm putting them on hold to build some of your awesome stuff instead! Especially like the Dawn of War Plasma Generator!

We need to convinve Dwez to play more Dawn of War in the hopes he'll be inspired to make more Dawn of War terrain.

With the festive season coming to a close Father Christmas found one forgotten present in his sack - a new set of Print & Play tower block templates that will match the very first skins I produced. There are at least 15 buildings that can be created from my current selection and that’s not including the additional 14 templates of more detailed, complex untextured buildings.

So if you would like the new templates this holiday season they’re available here:
http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/terrain-is-everything-hail-omnissiah.html

And all the legacy templates are available here
http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/terrain-is-everything-standard-template.html

Should you also feel inclined are also a variety of free downloads including wound, objective, psychic power markers and not to mention a free terrain mat template should one have access to a large scale printer and you like Red Planet battlefields.
http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/p/free-downloads.html

Anyway, hope it’s of use. All the best for the new year

Thanks Dwez, great stuff.

12 months since my last template but it's finally here, my interpretation of the original Epic Space Marine Generatorium, not quite as awesome but still pretty cool I think. So, feel free to print out the template stick it to card and make your own simple LoS blocking terrain. And, as mentioned in the blog I'll be running a photo competition later in the year to win an Imperial Knight [or equivalent] when my next Google AdSense funds mature. So that's a free terrain template AND an opportunity to win stuff

If you'd like the new template it's available here, with more tips and details into making cooler:

omg these are awesome!
im going to try one of the black ones out...

Thanks for posting these dwez!

Your welcome guys, if you actually make some please drop a picture here

P.S. Awesome terrain, definitely going to hijack a school printer.

I've got an Ork building in an old White Dwarf, do you want me to scan it in? I made some Necromunda habs out of it, lost them when I moved house though :(

Great work on the templates, I'll have to put them to good use

Really nice stuff, cheers

i think i screwed up the building i printed @.@

It's been a really long time since I posted any updates here, apologies I should not have forgotten my login details. Anyway I've since created a new Print & Play template and as LoS blocking terrain is so important in 8th hopefully you may find some use for a wide square 2 storey box Generatorium. Although you could combine it with the previous template to make a rectangular building, the possibilities are... well not endless, perhaps twofold!

If you'd like the new template it's available here, with more tips and details into making cooler:
