Neat use of bits! How many computers were harmed in the making of his board though?

Thanks!

Board is looking very promissing

Ended up ordering the marines Indomitus half.... more marines for the Iron Hands. Techmarine, Apoth, and a handful of other lads. I also bitz ordered enough to make a 9x Eradicator mess. I wanted to avoid impulsors/the grav tanks and went with more troops.

I also plan to add jump backs to the chainsword lads and run them as assault marines.


The table is extremely WIP still. Busy at work/distracted by video games but this week I should be finishing up the second section

third night of working on the table

Plan for 2021:

- Finish table during 2020

- Iron Warriors (Smaller Force of mostly CSM to ally with traitor guard) with some Khorne models

- Nurgle Conversion Army / tons of conversions

- Traitor Guard (Iron Warriors Tank Company) 7+ Tanks, 80 infantry

- Emperor's Children with Slaanesh Allies (80 models, mostly all metal)

Those are some big chaotic plans. Looking forwards to the traitor guard. (and the table of course)

Traitor Guard was a project where it was a "How cheap can we go" so its plastic tanks/toys/3rd party mostly.

Ah, the bronkorpus tanks return. With resin turrets, lots of detailing and plastic card fixing the weak points, it looks glorious. Perfect for the AT 70 Reaver from Gaunt´s ghosts

I bought stowage and some WWII /historic bits to add to the tanks eventually.

Right now my priority is finish the table then crank out armies once every 2 months or so

I love watching these big table builds! Something quite inspirational about them.

I'm all about the big table builds. I'll try and honestly build a table a year from now on at this point. It's easily the most fun I've had in the hobby. My old city table at a different scale from my 2018 blog:





and I love making small scatter terrain

Those tables look fantastic! I has great fun last year building my modular fantasy table, but I can't imagine storing massive tables like this one... What do you do with them?

This one can almost fit under my couch lol. All of my tables tend to be stores in a really small box since I make them all stackable/modular. My frostgrave table, my friend's Egyptian table, my old two 40k tables, and the dropzone table each can fit into cloth bag/case the size of an old GW large army transport. Around 2x2 and 8 inches deep. I lend them to friends houses so I never have more than two tables in my condo since I'm in a city and we only have so much space.

This one can stack standing up next to a bookshelf and takes around the same space - 4 feet high and 2 feet deep and 9" here. The scatter terrain is all separate/magnetized to break down.

Your old city board look AMAZING! The new one continues to shape up nicely too, loads of great details. It even looks like the roadways can be arranged in different configurations, cool stuff

Had a game of 9th - cool photo before the game. Now back to working on the table!

Had a few friends send me some stuff for the table






NOW FOR THE BUILDINGS

New kit bash

Some finished Thousand Sons painted by a guy I taught how to paint

They look sharp

Nice work teach! The Necromunda stuff looks to convert quite well too

WIP

That's fantastic! I've had similar ideas to do a garage for my necromunda board

Great workshop, excited to see where this board goes!

Thanks! About 10 more small modular pieces and the monorail left

Beautiful scenery as ever! Would be awesome to have a board like this to crack on and battle over!

Thanks for sharing

Most of the $$$ for the table was donated by a handful of players that haven't even had a game of 9th ed. I'm just putting in the work to grind it out. We'll use it for anything from Kill Team to fun 1v1 games since we've played a total of 2 games of 9th.

There are 6 or so dudes that just want to have an awesome table to game on instead of fold out tables/junk terrain

Some more scatter WIP

Scatter is looking good! It's very cool to see you and your gaming pals are pooling together to build what will be a great looking table when finished.

Looks very promising. Is it drywall you are using for walls?
