Was wondering if I could get some help building a 40k gaming table.
I know there was a link to one here on my gaming groups FB but has since been removed and I can't find anything on google (I'm google illiterate).
Thanks for the help guys.

2'x4' sheets of MDF are a good start.

Glue sand down, paint them and you're good to go. Added bonus is flexible table size.

this one is AWSOME... it dosnt really cover the scenery, but it shows how to make the ENTIRE table.

I did one 2 years back. 4x6' sheet of plywood, 2x4s along the edges, then some extra boards at the short ends. Got 2 sets of folding legs from HOme Depot and it was done. 2 nights of work, maybe $50 of materials.

I'm building one at moment

Got 3x 2 foot by 4 foot MDF boards. and a 8foot by 4foot 2 inch green mat, cut mat slightly longer than the board each time and tucked edges round and am going to put on the edging to hide this tonight (Wooden surround from Homebase painted black)

The lip means i can put in my CnC wooden city tiles, my foam desert board sections, or my mordheim cannal foam oard sections over the grassland.

For having them balanced i used 2x 6 foot by 2.5 foot tables side by side and it gives half a foot on the two long sides for setting reserves or drinks etc.

simple enough and if wish i can get a picture of it
