This. How did you do this? I've been trying to get a halfway realistic looking desert for my Tyranid models for years now. That looks so amazing it's unbelievable.

Haha why would you want a desert as a Tyranid player? Wouldn't your charge across the table end up in one horribly effective shooting phase for your opponent with a more open table?

I think Desert Tables and Snow tables are the coolest, and most people think of them as large open plains...

What about the deserted towns? The snowy hills/desert slopes? The pine forest/Cactus pwn area?

The idea is that I'm modeling my Tyranids in a wasteland for a couple reasons:

1) the desert look really helps the carapace and skin to stand out, especially the purple.
2) I like the idea of my nids being in the last stages of consuming a world, where nearly all the vegetation is consumed, leaving behind barren rock and sand.

Terraformer, I'm going to steal you and put you in a hole with foam, sand, putty, knives, whatever you need in order to create a table based solely on that chaos river of blood piece.

Go on, try to hide from me.

I'll need snacks too.

These images have really inspired me to get making some terrain for my current army. Cheers!!!

The Eldar in all of your pictures has me singing, "Where in the world is Carmen Santiago?"

That or, "Where's Waldo?"

LOL!

Really? After all this time and all these threads, this is the message that gets you to join in and say something?

Hey, don't disrespect Carmen. She's got an awesome hat.

Heck, she's probably an inquisitor lord.

Okay, off topic, but these past couple posts have really made me laugh.

And now someone's absolutely got to model an Inquisitor Lord as Carmen Sandiego.

Love the great work!!

Some really superb pieces. Great stuff!

Love it!

Awesome looking stuff, going to dream that my Fortress of Redemption comes out as high quality.

Lovely terrain.

Good work.

Just imagine if she was one of Bin Laden's wives. We'd never have found him!

More Necron stuff!

The crystal is LED lit, and the archway/obelisk section is removable from the platform to give the option of playing with two pieces.

That Necron terrain is outstanding I love it, the ork terrain is perfect as well, exactly how ork buildings should like

Terrain always seems like it is overlooked. It is refreshing to see people that appreciate not only their models, but the very ground they play on! Good work! And keep posting more of these amazing pics!

Very crisp.

My feelings exactly! Terrain should be given at least as much attention as the models you plan to place on it, and it is really a pleasure to play on a realistic battlefield.

That's what I was aiming for

That Necron terrain is Heresy! Where's the Eldar Guardian we all know and love!

I think this is one of the only threads where I can go back and look over the same pictures and enjoy them over-and-over. I just wanna say great work again Terraformer.

That means a lot, thank you! I love to make things that are enjoyable just to look at, without having to be covered in figures or digitally manipulated or held by half-naked celebrities.



(Still trying to get some celebrities to return my emails.)

So much AWESOME in this thread. Thank you for sharing, and please keep posting.

Keeps getting better somehow.

Been playing with magnets for attaching parts of buildings for lower floor access.

Insane work again Terraformer! You sir really are the king of making terrain..

Great updates.
