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.

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

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.

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.

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 .
