Hi all,

Here's a thread for my post apocalyptic city board, I'll let the pictures talk ^_^

Five sets of Dust Tactics: Operation Cerebus:


All assembled (took about an hour and a half, dry fitted no glue, the buildings are modular):


Leftover parts to be converted into ruins and barricades:


Done:
Dust Tactics Super Heavy Walkers and a Command Squad for scale:


Close Up:
(Command Squad, Super Heavy Walker, and Space Marine for scale:


Thanks for looking!

Looks like a good start. Think I'll watch this.

More work, going to get 2x2s today to mount everything:

Very nice - are the kits you bought just the buildings?

The bullet ridden building and barricades look good. Also love the big grey walker

Are you planning on adding bombed out floors to the interiors of the buildings (which would look pretty neat, but might be a bit of work) or leaving them as they are now? The table would look great with additions like furniture and ash piles (where the building's have been burned to shells), youknow things you typically don't see on these kinds of tables. If your making this also for World In Ruins then things like Squatters habitiation (adding things like drapes hanging over windows, campfires, the general detrious of human living), perhaps a few charred corpses amongst the rubble (even a recently dead one, minus its shoes-referencing "The Road" there ^^), cages and spits made by cannibal cults, and pyres from the Cultists, would be some great little details. Good work working on this. =D

Thanks guys!

Wyrmalla - The table is indeed for World In Ruins but also for Dust Tactics. The big buildings will have some kind of interiors to them when I'm done.

Looks awesome its folding along nicely.

Thanks!

Remeasured the city. Earlier I pretty much built randomly an stuck them on. This time I measured the parts to make sure they fit on the board, now it is truly modular, but I will need another Cerebus set to fill in the last building :/

Do you have some more "mobile" terrain that you can use to break up some of the long lines of sight on the board, or do they not matter so much in Dust?

Yes, there will be movable piles of ruins/bricks, tank trap, ammo crates, etc.

Got some more work done, the buildings were painted with a spray can and the roads done in textured paint.
