I really love makinf Necron pieces, the sharp, dark features with the natural ground cover are consistently satisfying to finish.

OM.... :O.... I want too make stuff like that! dude you are awesome!

While I applaud you for the visual quality and the craftsmanship of all your stuff, terraformer


I do wonder, will you ever do something that truly does block LOS?

Getting more and more amazing every time!

I thought buildings blocked line of sight?

Did they change the rules on LOS and if so which games? Oh my, we might have to line our building walls with lead.

Everything is TLOS now, so if you can see through it it doesnt block LOS.

However, that should have no bearing on what you produce! Dont change your beautiful designs just beacuse of a little rule

Have you guys done any Malifaux terrain? It seems like it would mesh really well with your dense/busy style of terrain.

There should be a warning against reading this whole thread in one sitting. I am left in a state of shock from the unrelenting quality of every single piece posted here. Really genius work. I will follow this thread to the ends of the earth.

I really, really want to do Malifaux terrain. We've had some big projects in the books that got scrapped for one reason or another. We've put together some amazing visions for cobbled streets and dense, complicated systems of victorian houses and walkways and waterways. Hopefully one day we'll have a commission that follows through! I might make something like this just for fun if I get impatient, to go with my box of Malifaux figures waiting to be painted, but time is at a such a premium.

So if it has a window or a gap that you can see through if you put your head at table-level, you can draw LOS through the whole thing? Forgive my ignorance, they don't let me out of the shop to actually play very much lately. So hungry....

Thank you so much! Get ready for a long ride then, because we're only picking up pace

If the model can see through a window, it can shoot out, and can be shot in turn. If only a few models in the squad can see (ie because the others are looking through walls) only those that have actual LOS can shoot. If the enemy can see one model of a squad it can shoot the whole squad, but they will get cover.

This sounds reasonable and doesn't sound so different than what I was used to years ago. I've always liked making pieces that you could get a unit on or behind for high ground with a little bit of cover. I was getting the impression that rules were now allowing two tanks on opposite sides of the table to shoot each other through a building just because it has a little hole or window somewhere in the wall, which would make half the models we make phantoms in game play terms. So I'm still wondering what Archont meant about none of our terrain blocking LOS, and if there are any glaring reoccurring issues with what we've been making, or if players out there have some very specific needs that makes a piece of terrain fun to actually use in a game. This just because I really want to make pieces that are playable as well as pretty, and I can't do it without feedback. (Don't worry, I won't compromise quality in my designs, we're good at blending form and function.)

Simply Incredible! good job!

Im not sure that comment had any real validity to it tbh (no offence Archont, just imo).

For instance, your Necron temple is a perfect example of blocking LOS.

Another Ironclad Orky piece that Mismuse has been tediously scratchbuilding for gawd-knows how long.

Oh btw, was browsing your site yesterday and came across the SH X-Board project. Are there any more updates for it?

What do you make all of this out of?

nice looking peice of artillery youve got there

Yes, we have more updates coming up, and in fact the next fully finished Project Log that I post here on Dakka and on our page will be the X-board project. (Really Lysenis!)

Do you stand on a windswept precipice and look out to the vastness of the sea and ask "What is this made of?" Do you soar above a bustling metropolis and gesture vaguely downwards at the living, breathing streets that pulse with life and say "What is this made of?" Do you hold a newborn baby in your arms, with all the splendor and mystery and potential that comes from existence itself and ask "WHAT IS THIS MADE OF?" DO YOU????

Well, okay actually it's mostly plasticard, foamcore, scraps and a few of our own resin-cast bits.

Haha! I love how crazy you are Terraformer.

Thats cool, post a link when you start the log please!

Sorry to be annoying, but when can we see the expansion to the Warmachine Orgoth stuff? (Assuming i havent misinterpreted of course)

It's going to be an ongoing project, likely starting this fall/winter, with new pieces in the series likely continuing on into next year, depending on a few factors like our client's schedule and our own growing book of projects. In other words, it might be a while still.

I think after everyone sees the next wave of big projects you'll all forget about everything else for a little while.

Thats a big claim! Eagerly awaiting whatever rolls around next.

I wrote up a tutorial for making hills, take a look.

Great thread, some really nice looking terrain here. The Necron ones are probably my favorites.

Since nobody has told you this: Your terrain is AWSUM!! It really inpires me to try the same myelf right now!

That tutorial is awesome, if only i was at home now, id be knee deep in hills!

Wow, indeed great terrain..
I'll surely remeber you when I build my own maps!

Wow, the other day I was looking for a good hill-making tutorial and one found me instead. Thanks for that!

Excellent tutorial. But it is making my block hills feel a little inferior.
It may be time for a few upgrades.

Amazing, Terraformer! Love the Necron temple!
