Here is a little treat from Dreamspirit wargaming studio, a waterfall tutorial

I hope that you will find it helpful.

Thats really cool. The only thing is...where the heck am I gonna put a waterfall on my battlefield?

It's really cool, like the above poster said. But waterfalls are rivers that are falling off a cliff face, generally. So where's the rest of the river? And if you do end it in a pond like that, shouldn't it be larger?

thanks for the comments, this particular piece was a client request, I would definitely put it as a part of a river, but hey, he wanted it, I made it

All the best

Looks nice, would be good along an edge of the table of where the river 'flows in' from.

Awesome waterfall!

very cool, thanks for sharing

I do hope that pond has some kind of dranage system/is infinate in volume.

It may overflow else.

FTL

P.s. Love the Koi.

while being very good, the only thing i would change is the squareness and the top of the falls

Very awesome! I likey

Great piece of terrain that I'm sure I'll come back to in the future for inspiration, cheers for the upload.

There's a fairly easy way to get around the whole "Where am I going to put a waterfall on my field?"

Make it not a waterfall.

At the 'end' of the lake? Add a small square/brick like structure. "Drainage". From the top of the rock before the water goes over the edge? Add a 'broken pipe"

There ya go. You've got a peice of terrain that could fit with 40k. Make sure the pipe and the drainage system are 'historical' in style ( Aquaduct instead of pipe for example ) And it'll work for WHF too.
