Hello!

Just want to share some my progress in landscape modelling. Here the map from Wh40k DoWII: Retribution computer game called Argus Desert Gate. I wanted to make the similar in the table top.
Here are sme screens from it:

I've decided to use plywood to create game modules, so the first step was developing modules in 3D.



here you can see that all connection stuff are designed



The table is supposed to have standart size (48" x 72") so here you can see how it should looks all together.



Very good thiink that it is modular and I can make anything i want with that, for e.g. table 48" x 48' allowing playing 3 guys deathmatch.

The paterns for laser cuting was created and then i travelled to workshop and took my woods.



After that I just split those details together!



And start preparing it for painting
I want to imitate stone-plates floor on the modules of up levels, so I used for it boxes from models, cut them, glue them and prim them.

And the last progress for nowdays it is conduct beta terst of a table!



The futute works are:
+ Paint it.
+ Make a base table
+ Crate lots of small terraints stuff like fontains, rubbish, boxex, tank traps and so on
+ Enjoy it!

Thats gorgeus!
you truly have some good skills.
now i'll love to see that painted

Wow, really nice start. I've never played the computer game, but from your pics you nailed it. You might want to create a widget for the stairs thoug so your models can stand anywhere on there without risk of falling.

Thank you!

Ah! Just forgot to notice it it is already done in following manner:

Each ledder has wide and small stairs, wide stairs is tall enought to place 25-40 miniature on it



and it is organised in order that units maintain its cogherency easily



but here some problems with models on large bases

Wow, this is really cool

One hell of a project. It's looking awesome man!

Thank you, guys!

Now I continue to paint my modules. I use texturic color with sand. It looks pretty i think, also I cover the canal's bottom with river sand (it will be filled by water in the future). It looks like:



Also I add grids in pipes and ark. Using aquarim plants I created 3 modules on dread bases. It is good in game, because it is not too thin and small like casual tree or brush, and it looks pretty cool on side-ledder module



And today I tried to use airbrush to make one of module looks more "alive", waht I get



Hope it is not too bad, heh...

I am impressed! This is a great project. Thanks for sharing, hope to see more.

Looks awesome mate.

Looking forward to your next update.

Really cool!

Thank you very much!

Too busy on my job, so small update how we played on this table in a different configuration






Hope you like it!

This is fantastic!
Excellent functionality on the stairs. It's impressive to see the Knight and the Sentinel on them just fine. Especially for two rather notoriously top-heavy miniatures

Very very cool, always love seeing cool scenery used in its natural environment (a battle)

So cool, my favorite map (most people's, I think) and executed so well. Good job.

The work slowly flows...
unfortunatly I has some problems and could not maintain my project, also missed terrain water effec contest, but now continue my work





water looks ok i think, now continue work on other modules

That's a great looking table, so far!

Water looks great, keep up the good work!!

Thank you!

Here are some anouther WIPs





I like how it looks a bit painted, small shading already makes it interesting not just monotoned

My word, this is pretty damn impressive!

Looking good! Theres been a few of the maps i wouldn't mind recreating.

I have to ask though; are those turox stand in's and can we have a closer look?

I have to ask though; are those turox stand in's and can we have a closer look?

Ofk you can! This is my Tauroxes have been made on a base of toy Hummer and a little bit converted

Those are a originals Tauroxes with Autocannons


And those I use in our local capmaing, they are open-topped but have heavy stubber instead of AC

Very nice! Was looking at 1/35 kits for mine. M1117 gardian, lav's or jdsf light combat vehicle. wouldn't mind bringing out y on range really though haha.

Unfortunatly 1\35 is too big for Wh40k, but those one is really close in size to original, the same height and width, but a bit longer

Yeah size isn't amazing but 1/48 kits are hard to come by, well done for matching the size like that.

Have you seen some of the kits for the the turox kit? theres 4 & 6 wheel ones and they look pretty good tbf.

Them's some big ass stairs.

Updates!

In game there are some funny houses on Calderis, so I wanna to rebuild them



Here it is





The roof is on fire can be removed to place minis on second floor, the ideal position for tactical squad with heavy weapon...

Top notch

Nice! Impressive terrain building skills, sir.
