Really cool stuff as usual Steve, the details really are what sells the scene. By “almost there” do you mean with the complete table?

I'm in total awe. If I have one slight criticism, it's that your roads seem very... Intact! Do you have craters or broken sections you can use as overlays?

The roads are only primed right now so they're unpainted


Yeah so the style in which I'm going to paint them will be a heavy sponge/weathered look to blend in the table + craters/debris

In most cases I'll actually just place terrain over the roads then

Okay so I'm starting the washes after work - I drybrushed the ground up to a Bleached Bone equivalent on the entire table and then sponged all the white to look like this

Going to do a really rally thin green wash, a super thin orange wash, and a random brown wash and pat it down with a paper towel a few times with a blow dryer.

The boards looking great Steve! Am I right in thinking that some of the road pieces will be removable to reveal a canal underneath?

That was an original idea but I only kept that for the industrial 2x2 corner tile. You can have an open Canal for Necromunda or you can place grating over it

I have 2 other boards I started that are flat to make it a 6x8 for the Ruined Warhound Titan center piece and the chaos castle (I'm sitting on a few unpainted chaos armies in queue right now)

I think I'm going to skip the static grass and foilage on the entire board so I don't make the table too bright and I'm lazy.

I think I'll water effects the dark track of dirt on this piece as a puddle. Not too sure. Next steps:

Chrome metal highlights, brown wash/fix edges of my messy copper, wire highlights / red wires, black pen graffiti more, green stowage and crate highlights x3 up, red barrel chipping highlight / blue barrel highlights. Beige stowage + beige crate drybrush, pigment asphalt and some areas

I love the level of partially buried debris you have on this board. It's very wastelandy. Excellent execution overall and I love that it's still a work in progress.

Love your work. This thread reminds me of an old thread I had on a different forum about 5 years ago. I alos used to build crazy gaming tables with lot of details.
The best thing with building tables in pieces is that you can expand it later. My gaming table ended up with a lenght of 7.2 meters. Stretching from trenches to light cityfight to dense cityfight, with the possibility to put a lagre fortress wall in the middle to split the tabel in half.

I hope you keep the motivation up and raise the bar a notch for each new project.

I think this is one of my favourite things on Dakka right now! These water effects turned out so good, do you colour the fx fluid in some way while/before pouring?

I tried and it made bubbles (dry pigments + heat from the flame I think added bubbles instead of removed.... or it made the pigments rise)

The second layer should work and correct it
