For those with a load of foamboard and cereal boxes I've a number of .pdf templates for buildings, terrain and ruins linked at the bottom of this page on my blog







Enjoy

Thanks a bunch.

Great Stuff!!!

Thank You so much!

These look great.

Pretty cool

Amazing work.

Thanks a bunch dude. Theres some neat stuff there so hopefully it will come in handy.

You're welcome. A new template was found, it's not much just a CD base that accepts my modular plug



But you can stick this in the plug:



Or even the top floor of this when I finish the plans:



So it would fit like it does in my man made hill:

Awesome! I built a game table a few weeks ago. Time to start mass producing terrain. Thanks for the hard work, these pieces are great!

Some more pictures of the free .pdf templates to build your own foamcard terrain all available here.



I know you may be wondering why anyone would want to make a 'man made hill' but my reasoning [explained in the blog] is that not everyone can get access to pink/white/peach/blue foam to make your standard hills but foamcard can be accessed relatively easily via ebay and craft shops.

So if you can make a hill equivalent with foam card that's one problem solved. It may be slightly more expensive in the long run but it's an option open to all terrain hobbyists. Here's another manmade hill design with the Plasma Generator plugged into the modular socket on top.



A lookout post:



A single storey building that can be made into a ruin which I've decided is a caffeine plaza or market place.



All .pdfs available here.

Fantastic. I'll definitely be making use of these.

This is some really great stuff. Keep up the good work!

Wow! Great stuff! Interesting blog, as well. I'll be following your rantings from here on out

Many thanks!

these are awesome

The so called Free Radical Collective have managed to secure more plans for a Cathedral Tower. Please do not download the plans and create non-sanctioned, non-approved by the Mechanicum structures. The FRC are believed to be a heretical institution and the further dissemination of STC patterns is in direct contravention of Adeptus Mechanicus protocols. Use of these plans will result in Inquisitorial retribution.



Do not point your cogitators here: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/data-blurt-free-radical-collective.html

Only existing approved STC patterns are available from this location: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/terrain-is-everything-standard-template.html

OK, that is awesome and is exactly what I'm looking for. What material did you use to make the Cathederal

That unsanctioned cathedral is awesome. DEFINITELY won't be making use of it

5mm foamboard or foamcard, it's available from art supplies and ebay a strip of foam sandwiched between two pieces of card. Use a craft knife or scalpel to cut it, all my templates are currently based on this with cereal and mounting card detailing. All you need do is print out a template and stick it to the card and cut away.

The Inquisition will be glad to hear it!

My gaming table greatly appreciates your contribution!

Thank you so much! Just what i needed. Recently bought a load of 5mm foam board cheap on ebay, so this is perfect. Cheers.

Thanks for this man!

If you saw I'd started a Tyranid Bastion with a foamboard core so I've added a template to my blog should you wish to grow your own version and need a starting point, it's here:

Updates will be following shortly on the blog and in this thread, it's going really well, here's a little further on



And the crater base with slots to fit the template:

Avro Vulcan has resurfaced and bring you a new STC to build your own terrain - the Cetacean 'Vent' Tower and Baleen roof extension.

I am ITCHING to start making terrain. Too many projects going on to start!

The classic Warhammer Barn tutorial from a Relic copy of White Dwarf, how I miss the true meaning of 'hobby' from it's hallowed pages

It would be pretty cool if they put these back in, but now they'd much rather sell terrain :(

Yep, I agree, so at least I can remind folks of the humble roots of the hobby.

I just built a gaming table in the garage and the next logical step is terrain. Thanks for putting up these templates! I'm sure I'll be using these in the near future.

Ooo...so many plans that make similar terrain. And all except one or two look really really easy too!

Awesome, once i get my army situated (kitbashing the feth out of my tau atm so theyre kinda unplayable unless i wanna proxy half the army lol) i am totally diving into this.

That hatch gives me an idea for a special terrain board - secret passage ways for troops - wonder if that would be good...or broken lol
