My only complaint, is you used the wrong links for posting. I had to click on your gallery and then find the images to vote. If you use the forums links, itll take us to the pics with the voting system on it.





On to other things, that is pretty fly. Love the flag.

ahh yeah vik! also, i dont know who plays but i am going to be building a table, and as such i am looking into fair terrain placement along with hitting the home world feel for my guardsmen. As such, what do you think i made this general layout for the table.
I am thinking of making the "castle" side a higher elevation, increasing the elevation at the trench defense line.

it´s definatly an interesting concept...

so i gather this will be a snowland table?

how much of these terrain pices do you have already? or were the fortresses and such stuff seen above your´s already?

whyt will you use for getting the raised sections?... my first guess would be foamboard... thick at that... will you want to build in the trenches or will you make them flexible and removable?

Was thinking of building the trenches into the board. It will indeed be a winter wonderland.
I was thinking of doubling up the foam to raise the sections and then smoothing it out.
I own all the terrian to do this as it is. Current terrian i own is,

about 9 -12 defense lines along with 4 bastions. (bought two of the planet strike big boxes with two bastions each and 4 defense lines or whatever)
5 gw craters
1 fortress of redemption
and 1 imperial sector, that i used to make the church, factory, and minstorium.
I have two Bastions built, 2 in pieces for destroyed ones.

Feel free to do your own suggestions, this is just a rough idea. I wanted the castle feel defending the peasants. I could always do the good old Castle in the middle on the raise surface deal, with out laying town.

hmmm... if you feel up to it... do a sketch from a mini perspective... that way we could better think about the table...

the theme of the table (old Castle in the middle on the raise surface deal, with out laying town) and your current plan sound very good... BUT... do you think this is a fair table for the non castle team? i am not too sure... seems for the "visitor" team to be a regular slaughterhouse... whyt will they have to their disposal to keep on trukking?

that is what i am worried about, i want to find a way to balence the terrian/ hense my half raised castle idea. Oh and if you mean the home team gets to start in the fortifications, that is a negative, the team would start in a standard mission deployment ect With the terrain just their in the middle or where ever it is placed. I will attempt to do some mini sketches.

ah i see... so no benefits then... at least that sounds fair then... tho...i now think it needs more space all together...

to ballance out the trenches and other deathtraps... well you could add some pillboxes that could be used by the visitor team too... maybe that would help...

sounds interesting. Of course a defense mission is always a plan for the table, but not for general play.

well... the castle piece sort of creeps your defense pupose into your head... sort of unwanted but inevitable i guess^^

doing pillboxes is rather easy too... and quick... darn... i need to get some project free time to finish a strong point i need to show you... that would be ideal for your table... maybe i get around to do some WIP pics for you tomorrow... could be an alternative for trenches then for you... as these pieces can be aranged any old how... so you gain instant flexibility in building the table...

krumpin time

here are the day light shots you wanted vik

Here is a MANZ i did, CC welcome as always. He still needs his theme badge. Also known as the orks of america star. Location matters, if you got a suggestion for a badge location on the model please say it. i am still trying to figure it out.

Looks like the shoulder will be the best place for it. It looks great though!

thanks eldartau. I was feeling the shoulder be good two, but should it be both sides?

I think if you do one, you would have to the other. Or add something to the other side.

yeah, i think i will do both shoulders, expect a update this evening!

i am with you on the shoulder position... but make it like an air recon sign... just facing upwards... that´d be enough...

and yes... daylight pics are worth all the time spent waiting ... all the huzzle to set the minis up for taking pics etc...

now we can see the lightnings on the forcefield projector... the scratches and weathering you did on all models...

and all the other neat details...

one thing this made me discover tho... the banner bearer has three stripes on his helmet that could look neater... either more wonky... or more straighter... your decision...

but all are truly good looking!!!

Thanks for advice vik, i also agree that the stripes are off. i will do a two stripe, its more Lt. type anyways. Also here comes some pre table pics, tell me what you think, ect.

Heres the table i am working on guys, terrian placement, ect, give me all you got, give me your friends to look at this, do everything. This is before smoothing, and cutting, and plastering, and well everything takes place, this is a general layout - it is mission critical.

I like the way it looks! It is going to be modular? Are you glueing down the terrian?

modular, not likely, gluing the terrain down will happen. The table will be able to come apart and such.

the two stripes for an LT sounds like a good plan!!!

the table as such looks beautiful... mayn nice models and pieces together... but to be honest... the first thouht i had was...: way too crowded... it´s for me atm a case of too much of a good thing... i am far one that should talk about rules... so i wont... if the rules for a table that size demand so many pieces for terrain... than you are gold... but i think it´s a bit too much...

tho when i look again i see many good ideas... the walls... they look quite good there... even the amount... and for now the craters look more poping into view... when all is done i think they will more blend in with the rest and thus wont me that noticable as atm...

the one question you have to ask yourself tho is...: do you have enough flat surfaces to play on? will vehicles have enough room to maneuver in?

the upper part... will that be bevelled all around or will you make smaller sections bevelled and the rest sheer cliffs? could be both good looking...


you definatly need more opinions before starting... if it would be me... that is dooing that table...

maybe open another thread with that question in mind? could draw more chaps to this thread too....


well that´s my ideas at the top of my head atm ...hope i could help...

the pics are still on my to do list but today was a rather filled day with work and other painful stuff^^

just read your answer to eldar tau...

better make it modular and don´t glue the terrain pieces in place... you will one day hate to play that table otherwise...

where should i post the table then in question? just another PM blog? i suppose i will open that in a minute here. Also thank you for the review, i do agree, it feels crowded i just wanted to lay out everything i had.
Thanks for the comment vik.
