I keep seeing around the web of pictures of cool looking buildings made of what looks like 5 gallon buckets turned upside down.
A number of these were featured at the titan battle this year at Adepticon.
Are these custom or is there a manufacture web page link someone can send me..??
Would love to get my hands on one..

They probably made them out of ! FIVE-GALLON BUCKETS !

Seriously, what they did was use a liitle sheet plastic or foamcore to build the details, added some plastruct handrails to those details, put down some granny-grating and gave them a lick or two of paint.

Pretty simple and looks good too.

They also used plastic storage crates for those other buildings, and what looks like a footlocker for the red one in the back there.

Hello, I'm new here so please excuse my virgin post count, I used to be pretty active over on the 40k forums. Its been a while since I posted on forums.

I made and designed the 5 gallon bucket kits you mentioned seeing in adepticon photos. I also created all the buildings from the titan battle. They were shipped out to the organizers of the event and they did a hell of a job with the painting and assembly.

They are all MDF kits that I laser cut. They are all designed to be hollow inside and separate from the base so you can put a pile of rubble inside and remove the building from play when it is destroyed by one of the god machines My company worked with the event organizers so they could have exactly what they wanted for the event.

All the buildings seen will be going up on our website over the next month, we decided to Adepti-start them instead of kickstarting. We thought it would be a cool way to release 4 different terrain styles. We have sold a few of the bucket kit through our facebook promotion of it pre-adepticon and they were a pre-order price of $60, sadly you have to get your own 5 gallon bucket from home depot or something for $3, I just could not figure out how to mail them all together

Thanks for the interest and if you have any other questions feel free to pm me.

When are these bucket kits going on sale? I am interested.

Wow thats awesome! Although, they don't seem practical for most games.

It wouldn't be too hard to use smaller buckets.

Thanks guys glad you like them.

Thanks for the interest too. The kits will be in the web store by the 1st of next month.

Some of the guys used them in what ever they are calling the gladiator now at adepticon, the one where you can bring big stuff. They said they enjoyed them in the game. They were also on a blue infinity table I brought but they didn't work well with the tourney so we did some shuffling. Here is a pic


We are working on a smaller version of the same style kit right now for a 2.5 gallon that is also readily available from home depot and lowes.

I haven't tracked down the rules for being able to post things as a small company yet so if I'm doing anything wrong by discussing these here please point me in the right direction and moderate as needed. Sorry in advance for any infraction.
