what you use wip with models without models just post terrain.
I'll start

Some of my terrain pieces used for gaming.
My club has just taken a break (pre tournament set-up) but all of these will be used in our upcoming tourney (two weeks time) and I'll have photos of them "in action" then.

Here's a few of mine.
More pics from different angles etc in my gallery,,,,,,,,,,,,

ct gamer your terrain is always amazing

Just for a bit of fun, here is a WIP Orkish tank trap wiv anti-tank squigg I scratched for da gamaz at the study group.
Orks and study in the same sentence?

Here are some of my more popular projects down at the shop:

(All this stuff has tutorials on my blog http://foxphoenix40k.blogspot.com/)

some inspiring stuff posted chaps
but Todders old thing, there are only red X's :(

A WIP Cathedral I'm working on as a center piece for my Imperial City..

do you have more pics of that cathedral dakka x3

Here is my attempt at a cityscape digestion pool . I thought the nids could utilize a water/sewage plant.





I really need to paint up the gloop again one day.

Imperial Firebase...




Older shot before the sandbag work and landing platform were added.

that imperial firebase looks boss

pandaman wrote:do you have more pics of that cathedral dakka x3

I can take some more pics in better light for you..

guess ill go next, its a WIP (kinda obvious)

A ruined armoury. Can also serve as an objective.


A large Prometheum Storage Tank made from one of those caramel popcorn tins that everyone seems to get for Christmas.


And a picture of all my other City terrain, which I'll -hopefully- get around to basing at some point


The big Atmospheric Processor in the bottom corner is made from some of that white-pellet rubbish that was packed in with a lamp I bought. The pipes on the sides are wire shields and there are a few tank hatches on some of the flat surfaces.

Here is my first and only building I have, I am hoping to get another one soon. These pics are huge!!!

The stuff animal is a nice touch lol.

Indeed, makes your Terrain seem a little less Grimdark. It's a good thing.

Happeh Nao?

anyone got more ork stuff

i was gonna build a ork squig shop awhile back, but my dad said if I want to make terrain I buy it from GW. so he tore up my pieces i made. my dad is kinda like a problem when it comes to the wargaming thing, like he mess up a whole mess of my orks because he didn't like the way i painted them. he collects minis too. his painting skills are not so great.

pandaman wrote:do you have more pics of that cathedral dakka x3

Two of the Aquilla bits broke off the front roof of my cathedral as you can see - I've have yet to find them / put them back on!






Here are the three pieces that make up the cathedral.


I'm waiting for the new Terrain set from GW to add the broken window to this set - and of course, one day I'll get around to actually basing / painting it.

This has got to be one of my favorite threads... I'm working on a piece right now that I'll add soon!

Really like some of these, makes me want to make my own terrain.

I got a couple more I'm still working on I'll post later, gotta find my camera. Doing a floating island, think more from WoW (Nagrand) than from avatar. And a cave opening for my friend Chad's 'Nids. And we did some 2x2 cuts of basic hills for our table I'll find my camera and post em tomorrow.

A hill I'm working on. Still haven't touched it in a while can't figure out I wanna do the road leading up to the top. Dirt or paved or a mix.


Next one is a the first hill(well not so much hill as cliff) my friend Chad and myself made and we like it a lot.


And a $2 cardboard house we found at a hobby shop that Chad turned into bad ass while were watching the Superbowl. Sitting on my plateau or whatever you wanna call it.

Haha! Imperial Laser Pointer! I have that too. Love the little crosshairs. I always end up making "Pew Pew" noises when I use it

For your road dilemma, try this: Put up guard rails or barriers on the sides, and then paint it to look like a dirt/gravel road. Next, cut some sandpaper to size and shape, spray it black, and then you can just swap the road between dirt or asphault at a whim by placing down the sandpaper. The guard rails/barricades should keep it from moving around/falling off too much.

all my terrain is made out of spare or leftover stuff lying around my house, plus a poster or two. lol

Here's my ruined imperial city, enjoy

Lord Creed that imperial city is amazing!

LordCreed how did you make that large building on the second picture?

WHAO lordcreed, that's is epic. trash and rubble everywhere!! that's realistic

Couple of WIP of mine...

Eldar Warpgate:


Bastions and Bunkers:

My Temple of Skulls WIP (also including one of my modular terrain boards in a WIP state as a bonus ):

A statue I made from an Inquisitor Model and some bits, and a crashed Landspeeder.

dark6spectre wrote:LordCreed how did you make that large building on the second picture?

I cut the building out off a huge cardboard box, then I taped off the corners painted it with some textured paint. And of course I used lots of bits to ´decorate´it.

..pandaman and Warboss Narznok thanks for the feedback

Robed_Chaplain wrote:Rangerrob, Your marines look AWESOME! Are they a custom chapter?

Thanks!

Yep Custom Chapter...painted up for the local game store to help promote the AoBR set when it was coming out.

Blogged about it as I was painting them up. So simple to paint I felt like I was cheating.

http://greenhouseguardians.blogspot.com/

My ultra marine fortress

Some posts below, a selection of my Eldar terrain. Missing, due to no pictures: Eldar pimp-loft with 3 levels and water running from the top to the bottom collecting in a small pond, ken-ken-barbie-ken.... I used some cheap ass barbie for 3€ to do the statue lying in the woods, but also did something bigger, LOS-blocking: 3 Ken-esque dolls supporting a Barbie reaching out for the stars---- or something like that.

edit: As you can see, the warpgate doesn't quite fit with the rest of that stuff, though that has been corrected in the meantime

Nice to see some Eldar scenery.

I wish GW would get round to producing some.

My contribution.



My admech ruins



in use



My shrine of the aquila



A view of the back - The doors will be glued on after painting and the base ahs still to get detailing.



My final WIP

wow great work now what about some indomnitable fortesses?

wow great work now what about some indomnitable fortesses?

I think it looks good even without the doors. Like they were removed to build a barricade somewhere.

Wow brother bartius, that looks fantastic when you paint it. Nice rust and weathering effects! How did you achieve that dripping rust look? Is it just a wash?

Indominable Fortress WIP... It still needs a lot of work actually - but it's getting there. This is being painted for my favorite game store.

FoxPhoenix135 wrote:Wow brother bartius, that looks fantastic when you paint it. Nice rust and weathering effects! How did you achieve that dripping rust look? Is it just a wash?

The drips are all just washes.

GW sepia and devlan mud.

The rust on the pipes is just plain stippled fiery orange?

I've learned from this and will give it a stipple of brown first for the subsequent buildings.

I'm in the middle of painting a trio of war walkers at the moment, which I'll post up in the painting forum when done, after which I'm intending on getting back to the other buildings.

Although, just like every body else I've got a few projects to consider.

Nice fortress of redemption. I like the alternative colour scheme. I think it really suits the structure.

The grey is a nice contrast to the red. Really otherwordly. Isn't that a word?

You've just reminded me. I've still got to build the FOR I got for Christmas.

**Let me see that projects list again**

Argggh!

Thanks for the tips! I'll have to get around to building something other than burnt ruins sometime.

Here are mine, craters are GW ones with added crap on them.

I have made a Tau Outpost with 4 pulse rifle turrets and 3 missile pods.
it was made from PVC pipe, 3 frisbees,foamboard, cardboard, straws for a rounded edge, and yes that hammerhead is in a recess from a coffee can top
Painted it after the pics...

i cant wait to see that painted tau battle suit

pandaman wrote:i cant wait to see that painted tau battle suit

I have heard that from many on Tau Online Forums.
I'll get in pictures soon

Wardance, that wall/building is very awesome! How was it made? It looks like the walls can be detached for transport, am I correct?

Foxphoenix135, yeah mate its a kit my wife bought for me from 'mind games' in melbourne. Its ment for DnD, which we play, but it kinda works for 40K too. And yeah its modular and easy to transport. There is actualy a few more pieces to it.

BTW love the other terrain in this thread!

heres a building with some of my guard for size comparison.

I like all the ork and city building's, very creative .

The terrain has inspired me to create my own terrain, so when i get off my lazy bum , i will make some and post it here.

Well... the blood drop I just sculpted out of green stuff, that was easy... the chalice though: it's half of the Space Hulk chalice *cough green stuff press mold*.

Here's a statue I made last night out of a "Yankee" candle jar top and a plastic beauty and the beast figure

FoxPhoenix135 wrote:Wardance, that wall/building is very awesome! How was it made? It looks like the walls can be detached for transport, am I correct?

It looks to be made from a couple of MiniatureScenery kits.
One of their Imperial Ruins line.
This one perhaps.

With two of these:

Terrain/objective:

Yep Chromedog thats what I use, here is a photo just taken today of my new 40K board. Man I'm getting sucked into this wargaming stuff hehe.

War dance that table is awsome howed you make it

I got 4 mdf boards and glued on some old books just to add height, then poured plasta of paris over everything and then rendered it with an old dish washing scourer.

Then dry brush the lot.

It's my first attempt at this and I must say I'm realy happy with how it looks, given how simple the process was (and the fact I had no idea what it would look like).

This morning I finished off some detail and added some more grass, here is an updated pic:

I like all da orkies!

Have to say that is pretty impressive, wardance. The road looks great.

How stable are the models? It looks like the surface is quite uneven.

Cheers Silver, the board is fairly stable, if I would have to make it again id make a bit flatter but its definately playable. There is no problems with cocked dice so far.

Here are the 5 tables worth of terrain (tables included) as they were last weekend for our 50 player tourney (we had larger numbers than the "major" Sydney 40k tourney held on the same weekend (although they also do WHFB, Infinity, FoW, Ancients, BB and other games as well).

The Stargate table.

Industrial/refinery table. This is 80% of my Hexagon and Platformer terrain kits. 2 pieces sat this tourney out needing some repairs.

Edge of the industrial zone table (with container park) and the 3 Pegasus Gothic sets.

Opposite angle on that one.

Grassland table with Battlefield-in-a-box GF9 ruins and stuff.

you ever gonna paint that terrain crhome dog

I like the colors and texture. It gives the table a lot of character.

My tower for Confrontation. Made by ice cream sticks and styrofoam.

Tau pieces I made. The domes are Japanese soup bowls. The detailing bits are pieces of household crap, scrap wargame projects, Antenociti's Workshop or built form card and so on.

pandaman wrote:you ever gonna paint that terrain crhome dog

It did get a black wash last year.

I need to go over it again and hit it with some rust patches as well.

Given that it was all inaccessible for the better part of a year (small house so it was stored at the in-laws - who are an hour's drive away) afterwards.

I don't work quickly unless there's a need. As I won't be at BiV next year (or ever again, while it is held in May) there's no real big rush.

that terrain reminds me of ewok terrain kill krazy

Just a little piece from me.

nice terrain ifruita how did you paint the rust

It's a little bit of Blazing Orange and Bestial Brown (I think), thinned.

Is that a Gator-aid bottle?

Bunkers for Apoc, or Planetstrike

ranjer bob those are really nice what are they made of

I've seen them in person - they are wooden craft boxes -sort of mini treasure chests. Perfect for bunkers, and available in a couple sizes. Looking good with the tanks Rob!

Kilkrazy wrote:Tau pieces I made. The domes are Japanese soup bowls. The detailing bits are pieces of household crap, scrap wargame projects, Antenociti's Workshop or built form card and so on.

The little building next to the defiler has a guy on top of it, is that a Tau motivational poster?

An awful lot of WIN in this thread...

pandaman wrote:ranjer bob those are really nice what are they made of

They are little wooden hope / jewelry chests you can pick up at your local craft store. (Micheals, AC Moore, etc..)



Sand bags are just "Super Sculpty" clay, rolled out, squashed down, cut in to chicklet sided sandbags, then baked to harden them up.

Little more detail on the process can be seen from the Mordian link in my sig below.

I will get my stuff up soon. Lots of great terrain ideas here. Need to make some Eldar stuff for my elves.

The Ghoma wrote:Is that a Gator-aid bottle?

Why as a matter of fact, it is. Good eyes ... or you're a huge consumer of Gator-ade

I've recently completed my game board. Here are some pics....

The whole board (almost, have 8 total 2'x2' tiles)


These are for laying over the lava board...








I've got loads of hills and rocks, though right now working on a road network including intersections and bridges...

Love all this terrain, great inspiration!

Cheers!

how big are those pieces inquistor mack

its all so nice

Pandaman,

my piece is 2 feet by 2 feet. In the first photo, you can barely make out a Kasrkin sergeant on the top floor. I used GW walls in addition to foamboard because I wanted to stretch how much I got for my $$$. The pillars are wedding cake pillars that you can get at craft stores like Michael's or AC Moore. The base was wood which was a big mistake; it warped in my basement so now I use that dark brown stuff... forget what it is called.

I have more photos of my table here:

Lots and lots of foamcore... and some balsa wood.

that is amazing good green can't wait tot see it painted

This terrain is just mind-blowing. Definitely an inspiration to get off my rump and actually make some instead of dishin out $15 for soddy JRP bunkers!

Ok here is the finished Fortress of Sanguinius... (sorry for crappy photo):

That is some pretty epic s**t right there. I love the idea of the old ruin place. The paintjob is really well done with all the highlighting and textures.

That is the most epic terrain I have seen recently

Is that for Mordheim or something?

'unit all action' your terrain is awesome dude. Really an excellent job - I wish I played there!

'POST NO BILLS' LOL ...

I must admit I do not get to play on it very often although I did have a game this weekend with a friend back from uni. I will post up some pics

I also use it as a display board for my army

This is an ork fort and the note is in human it would be a lot funnier if it was in ork with subtitles.

Wow, some people here have absolutely amazing stuff. Inspiring.

MegaDave that is one heavily fortified landing pad...

There is some really nice stuff in this thread,
here is all my terrain:

That Inquisitor ship is in a perpetual state of ka-boom. That's warpcraft if I ever saw it.

MegaDave how did you make that blue Imperial building?

All that Tau stuff was actually built by Jeff Vaughn, including the manta, for our adepticon display two years ago using wood and foam. I'll see if I can post some more later but have been very busy yesterday and today. Night y'all!

amazing how easy ork stuff is to build
i built a WAAAGH! banner that im yet to photograph.
iz also got pics of a ruin i built from styrofoam packaging but I can't get the pics from my phone to the computer

Everthing looks great and as a bonus some terrain i found on the interwebz.

What kind of rules do you use for such elaborate terrian?

Unite all action's ork ummn village would rock for planetstrike and there are no unruined buildings to destroy.

This is my small cathedral. Still WIP, painting has not yet started. I am designing the templates (yes, this is built after self-made simple templates in an easy but time consuming manner) a new version of it, however, much bigger, more complex, and full of detail, with flooring, detalied columns, more intrincated ornaments...

Concept:




Model built (bad light, however):




Some images of the building process

Holy cow that is really cool, that must of taken ages to do. looking good so far can't wait to see it when its finished. also are you going to have a detachable roof? and just wow, again that is really cool.

I think I just pooped a bit. Just a bit.

That's how amazing that is
