"Hey guys! Guess what Steve just found!"

"Not another mutated/possessed/evil thing!?"

"Yep! Get the guns!"



And the tutorial is pretty good.

"What, you're sending me down to the planet with who??"

(That cracked me up. )

That Eldar guy must be the most flukiest of all the Eldar to survive everything he's come in contact with!!

It is like the "unnamed" ensign in Star Trek - you know something terrible is going to happen to them after about 5 minutes on the planet

I've been on a neodymium magneet shopping spree! I CAN'T STOP MAGNETIZING THINGS!

From now on, all utility poles are connected by a rare earth magnet, so they can be removed for storage and shipping, or to represent battle damage, or even better yet, swapped out for different styles of poles that we will be making in the future. (I plan to make some streetlamps in a gothic style, to fit different themes.)

I have to say I love your telegraph style lights.

It is also good to see that Steve has managed to find a building without a great big monster inside it for a change

I am sh****** bricks right now. This is awesome stuff Terraformer! I wish I had more to say, but I just can't find the words. I'd have to write an essay to cover everything I like about these pieces.

All I can say is WOW! I would love to play on a table featuring these...

Simply stunning terrain!

Do you actually play games with this terrain? Seems too pretty to actually be used...

Your urban terrain is unsurpassed! I would love to play with/on some of this stuff!

I had an itch to do something awesome and chaotic and metal, so I decided to see what would happen if I took the simple concept of a modular river and mixed it with the forces of Chaos. This is what came out.

Wow, awesome chaos waste. I love ther river of blood, at least I guess I think that is blood?!

There is some lovely work in here. Great attention to detail, and always a pleasure to see your stuff Terraformer.

Dude very Cool, very Iron Maiden.

I'm loving the Chaos terrain piece. I wonder though, in the 6th and 7th photo down the strip the 'river' seems to have a little orange in it. Is this due to lighting or is actually there?

Also, how big is the overall piece? It looks like it could almost be an entire board!

Looks just like the kind of place Steve the Guardian would go fishing

Looks very cool.

Amazing work, especially love the pumping station and the market place

When I win the lotto, you're getting commissioned to remake all the store terrain at the FLGS.

Any orange you see is just a lighting effect, the blood is all dark red like good blood should be. All stretched out it's 4' of terrain, or enough to stretch across a standard gaming table.

Then if playing on a table with some of your terrain on it would be awesome, I'm guessing that playing on a table made OF your terrain would be epic.

This. How did you do this? I've been trying to get a halfway realistic looking desert for my Tyranid models for years now. That looks so amazing it's unbelievable.

Thank you, the desert dunes were actually some of my personal favorites, and I can't wait to do more from that line. With a few surprises of course. It's actually a pretty straightforward process, just carved foam and polyfilla, painted with some highlighting and pigment powder. The actual hard part was getting a feel for how desert dunes look and behave. I spent a lot of time staring at pictures of desert scenery and learning about the behavior of sand dunes. I scrapped a few pieces in process that didn't have the right curve, etc.

...wow that's remarkably simple. I'd love to see you put a tutorial of some kind up on your site if you ever find the time for it. Also, what paints did you use? Matching the color has been one of my greater challenges. Thank you for the fast reply!

WOW nice dude do you have tutorials for how to make these? apart from the necron monilith and the eyes

If I ever had the money I would buy you.
That's the best terrain ever. It surpasses the Terrain at GW HQ.

Wish you were in England. Also please put up some tutorials. Us English lot really need some better terrain.

Incredible terrain as always! Great idea to compile all your greatest hits into one (thought I belive some are missing unless you do not show commissioned pieces on this thread?)

I also have a quick question, how do you go about making the newspapers and posters? I have tried and tried again to no effect as the detail is just never clear enough!

Incredible work! Keep it up...

You might regret it, I'm very high maintenance, and require lots of care and feeding and would expect my owner to provide me with the lifestyle I'm accustomed to.

I do have a lot of pieces that aren't here yet, in fact even our website doesn't quite have everything up and visible yet, but I do plan on showing it all as we get the time to go over our archive of pictures and pick the best ones, re-size and upload.

That said, there are a ton of pictures in our webpage gallery, as well as here on Dakka. For those asking about tutorials, I'm going to be releasing more DIYs in the future with very specific details about how to achieve certain effects. As well as project logs of some of the more grand pieces we're working on behind the scenes right now. We already have a pretty good handful of plogs on our site, be sure to check them out.

Oh, as for the posters and such, we just use a good quality photo printer and paper. Nothing too specialized, just good enough resolution to put a high res image into a small print.

Just a decent printer eh? May have to give that a go!

Thanks for the rapid response!

Haha why would you want a desert as a Tyranid player? Wouldn't your charge across the table end up in one horribly effective shooting phase for your opponent with a more open table?
