Hi all,

As part of the launch of our Battlecult brand of events we're currently feverishly working away at building a massive amount of terrain ahead of the new year. As it stands we've got the following built:



With this pile still left to build:



In total that all adds up to this:

Dreadstone Blight - 1/1
Dreadfire Portal & Eternity Stair - 1/1
Magewrath Throne & Vortex - 0.5/1
Imperial Sector - 5/10
Imperial Strongpoint - 4/4
Honoured Imperium - 2/2
Shrine of the Aquila - 2/2
Citadel Woods - 4/10
Arcane Ruins - 6/10
Garden of Morr - 1/2
Temple of Skulls - 4/4

I should emphasise this is just the GW plastic kits we have available - there's another pile of Ziterdes stuff coming in as wel as a ton of insulation foam, wood and bashed up old vehicles still waiting to coalesce into a useful form as well as 150 2' x 4' sheets (along with another 10 or so 3' x 3' boards for Malifaux) waiting to be painted. In short it's a mammoth project!

So far stuff has been built and based pretty plainly just to get it going, and we'll be doing another pass to add some life and grit to it all afterwards. I'll be sure to show those as we do them!

If you're interested in coming and seeing all this stuff in action at any point then we have a bunch of events we'll be running in the new year - for a list see our thread in the Tournaments section of the forum.

I leave you with a close-up of some bastions and approximately six thousand miles worth of mould lines cleaned off of the walls that go with them:

I'm really quite speechless!

What is it all for?!?! You had mentioned some tournaments above, but that is a lot of terrain!

Good luck with it all!

We're running a whole bunch of events - something like 20-30 in 2012! We're looking to fit out enough stuff to put decent terrain coverage on 50 boards, i.e. enough for 100 players.

A small update, we've based up a bunch more stuff and cracked through some more. Next pass over is to start putting some life into it (which will be helped when the rest of our stuff arrives!)



Another bonus, we've gotten our hands on a ton of boxes so the living room floor is a lot clearer now!

It's been a while since we've updated this but I figured before I disappear off to the Caribbean you should all see how far we've come. Unfortunately I then forgot to take a photo of the new Ziterdes and Scotia Grendel stuff so another look at the massive pile of stuff that was taking up our floor before it all got packed up the other day will have to suffice. Bear in mind that all of the previous stuff is in the boxes you can see in the background so this is more or less all fresh:

That is a buttload of terrain

I hope you have managed to capture some of Santa's elves to help you paint and assemble this all

No elves unfortunately but a small army of volunteers will be ably assisting us

Shame you are all the way over in Bristol, or I would come and give you a hand

Do you have any terrain planned specifically for Infinity? (I had a look and saw you were running a couple of Infinity tournaments)

There's nothing Infinity-specific yet but since our first event is in June we'll definitely end up piling cash back into it and putting together some cool cyber-warfare toys

There's been a bit of a delay in updates over the Christmas break but we're finally back to work and cracking on with a bunch of stuff. Boards are piling up, all but a couple of pieces of the terrain is built, and even the little tree bases are done (and resulted in a couple of inch thick layer of sawdust in the garage!) The prepaint stuff you can see here is Ziterdes who have been excellent to us and were a pleasure to deal with. The bottom photo is just a look at the tip that is our garage and the pile of stuff we're working with:
