Yeah, unless you do enough surface prep to deal with that. In which case you'll simply be left with a crudely rubbed-for-your-pleasure rectangular block of something on the tabletop, because shipping container shave a touch more going on with them that his method completely skips/glosses over.

>>96425751
All the good plastic ones I find are like $10 per container minimum, which is absurd pricing for a plastic box. Wargames Atlantic announced they're working on a set of them (why?). I'm sure the quality will be incredibly mid, but depending on the price they might be worth buying. Sincerely with the price, if you plan on filling out a full shipyard or something you might as well get a resin 3d printer and print some, it would be cheaper than buying them

would love to make a vertical board like this, but i feel like its wasted space since you have to make each level empty enough for your hands and your models to fit in.

maybe if it was cut in a triangle sort of like the front of this? But even then, you get the fitting problem the further you go into the back of a level.

A determined necromancer wants to travel from Sylvania to Khemri to find the secrets of immortality.
He travels south, breaking his way through a dwaven mountain pass around
Karak Hirn. The dwarfs rally an army to chase him down.
From Khemri a Tomb King pushes north to reclaim ancient territories in the Badlands, clashing with the necromance's hordes in the process.
And obviously the dwarfs are not too particular when it comes to killing undead, attacking both armies on sight.

The Necromancer faces immortality or destruction as he tries to harness the death magic of the ancient obelisks...

What if you just spray aquarium plants with matte varnish?

In my test it still looks odd. It's the lack of depth some wash is needed for them to not look like aquarium plants.
Some random one in terrain do not matter but an entire clump of them? It sticks out a lot.

>>96464249
You can do it with rattle cans, I use graffiti paints that are quite cheap, I prime with mnt 94 amazonas green and then just give them a quick dash with a lighter green ink, but it works with rattle cans as well, but I prefer using my airbrush to lighten them up

Also, get shitloads of paint stir sticks to allow you to mass paint the plants.

if you're making a whole table, alibaba might be an even better option. I do find it advantageous to have a sharp nipper to cut the flash from the plastic plants. While you don't need to do it perfectly, it's nice to make things go faster and easier.

I got bits of very thick corrugated cardboard from a friend after he moved and turned them into containers.
The branding and technical details on it were designed by myself and printed on decal paper.
The results is still a bit of a mixed bag:
>The larger decals broke down during transfer. So I had to cover some of the containers in rust, to hide the defects.
>Even after spraying varnish over them, you can still see the transparent part of the decal. I don't know how I could improve this.

What's a good architectural style for Imperial Knights that isn't medieval or Gothic? Art Deco? Neoclassical?

Want some terrain to go alongside my army, and since I want their homeworld to both be a more recent discovery and be higher tech than a Feudal World, those two are a bit disqualified. Especially since I want to make it more a Merchant Republic style where guilds form the aristocracy over hereditary nobility.

I don't have the tutorial, but that sounds simple enough. A piece of wood as filler (or an actual stack of mini pages) wrapped on 3 sides by thin cardboard, giving you both covers and the spine.

>>
>>96472725
>in the middle of an international move
I've been there.
It's a great opportunity to try some new techniques, therefore buy some equipment which you don't already have, so that you don't end up with duplicates when your crates finally arrive.
Another option: Depending on how quick you work, 3 months can give you enough time to complete a project. So, for example, if you only ever made buildings before, now could be the time to make a battlemap.
The materials you'll need for it will be mostly stuff you don't already have and which will be used up for the project.

I put my hand on a RIDICULOUS quantity of expanded polystyrene (two sheets 1.6*2 METERS in size).
What are some easy builds I could make, using those?
I already have a bunch of scifi buildings (see pic rel).
I also made a good amount of rock formations.
I wanted to start building terrains for a sword and sorcery campaign, but I guess cutting expanded polystyrene into little bricks to make ruins won't work very well.
I wanted to make a bunch of North African/Greek-style adobe out of cardboard (to make them stackable) and covering them with textured mod podge, but I guess I could use the styrene for that instead, if I give up on the idea of making them stackable?
Anyone has another idea?

You know these buildings have playable interiors and removable roots, and most awg and historic games have special rules for buildings, how fighting in/out of buildings affect combat, LoS, etc. and seeing these pics, compared to all the Warhammer terrain hate threads that keep spamming the board... It got me thinking.

Why does Warhammer NEVER have playable buildings, troops never enter buildings, and indeed correct me if I'm wrong, but Warhammer 40k doesn't even have rules for buildings and going inside. Why is that? I have NEVER seen a warhammer 40k table or terrain with playable buildings or interiors? BEST case scenario is some guys can stand on the roof, but even that is extremely rare.

At least during 3rd and 4th you could get inside buildings.
Things like bunkers usually get the vehicle treatment. It was there but it never got too much attention, since usually fighting in interiors was it own separate scenarios with their own rules like Zone Mortalis or Boarding Actions
>>
>>96480990
I notice this as well. The only definitive ruleset for indoors I can think of for 40K is Battlezone: Cityfight, and that essentially said "cut out floor plans for each building and play on them seperately". I am sketching out floor plans for modular, playable interiors for 40k for my local, because I hate that all we have are old cities of death pieces glued in random half square shapes, or half square styrofoam ruins that are chipping and snapping apart.
I think it might be because 40k has so many units that arent human shaped, or are jsut really big, especially nowadays, and it just sort of is made an afterthoguht because trying to make rules that apply to both a guardsman and a dreadnought probably makes people pull their hair out.

Can you give me names, or even links, to those wargames that you feel have good rules for playing in and with buildings? Would really help me out.
>>
>>96481500
See that's the thing.... Not every unit SHOULD be able to enter a building. That is the benefit of infantry in real life, their purpose is to take and hold ground. Infantry can dig in, hunker down, fortify positions in buildings. Tanks and dreadnaughts can not. That's exactly how it should be.

Great advice anon. The one thing I can't do much of right now is paint, since the airbrush and all my paints are shipping. But I can still start on a battlemap or two. I've been wanting to make my own spearhead battlemap because the GW one is simply cardboard. I'll start there.

Warzone first edition had some very solid, simple rules that are pretty similar to some of the stuff for early Warhammer. Which is unsurprising considering the way Heartbreaker got started. You can find the rules on the Mutant Chronicles wiki site (https://www.mutantpedia.com/Warzone.html). The first version was a tunnel-fighting system from Chronicles magazine, that was then elaborated on for the Capitol Bridgehead, Brotherhood Cathedral, and Bauhaus Bunker boxed sets. They're designed to play with floorplans on a side table as a sort of hybrid zone-system. Units can shoot out of buildings easily as long as they have access to a hole, but it's substantially harder to shoot in without a flamer, and stuff like mortars can't do it at all. Larger units are limited by their base size or silhouette, much like Infinity (see below). Moving around in a building is heavily-constrained by doorways and stairwells. Combined with short LoS indoors it can make for some very spooky bughunt games.
You could also look at other modern skirmishers like Last Days, Reality's Edge/This is Not a Test, Zone Raiders, and the like. They generally have very similar rules to old-school Necromunda.

Infinity basically treats buildings like just another part of the battlefield, albeit with a ceiling. The whole game has a lot more (for lack of a better word) precision to it than Warzone, because it's more tournament-oriented rather than an up-jumped RPG mass-combat system. It assumes you can just take apart all the buildings, somehow without disturbing the models inside, and do very tight LoS and reaction checks. Moving around is a lot more abstract.

"Into the Breeding Pits" for first edition Frostgrave is a dungeon-crawling expansion. It has some interesting ideas, like blown initiative rolls placing traps on the board.
>>
>>96481559
Dreadnoughts are pretty well known for entering buildings, though wall breaching is even more of an uncommon and interesting rule than building fights. The solution for units holding terrain is flamers, grenades, and barreling a dreadnought into them.

How do the dreads get up to the 124th floor on that deathworld hive block, or down the small passagway to the underground sewer system? Not everywhere is accessible by an object the size of a bus.
>>
>>96484989
Same reason any heavy armor dudes do. Because they need to get there and the game is about facilitating those sorts of things. It's an incredibly ancient discussion wondering how many times space marines or even worse, terminators, fall through staircases or into basements.

Wait until you figure out dreadnoughts probably shouldn't be able to walk well on their stumpy little legs at all. New rules that they have to be dragged into the battlefield by tractors, perhaps.

Ok, I'm the original father anon. I *would* take a well-sourced advice from 4Chan over that of a random doctor. I wasn't going to dwelve on the topic given that it's pretty far from terrain making, but just so I don't leave the wrong impression, let me insist a bit on what I already wrote:
Baby WAS breastfed and took most of her baby weight this way.
She was breastfed as long as needed, that is: until she started being able to eat solid food (and all home-made from fresh and organic ingredients). After that you are not supposed to keep going because... you know... baby starts going teeth and these are hard on the titties. The formula was only necessary in the very beginning, because it took a few days for the mom to lactate in large enough quantity.
>>96425751
>SHIPPING CONTAINERS for the CHEAPEST price possible
Here's how I made mine: pieces of thick corrugated cardboard + corrugated paper + hard cardboard.
But, honestly, if I were to start again I would give Temu containers a try because these were a lot of hassle for a result that's not stellar.
At least I got the benefit of being able to create my own logo and stuff.

That's my main question, actually:
Is it possible to cut expanded polystyrene into bricks or stones? By nature they don't take shapes very well, so they will retain very sharp edges, which would look weird for big stones.

>>96485012
I agree. We have to keep in mind that everything about 40k, the lore, the rules, the culture, etc is designed only to promote the purchase and use of the current range of figures. As it's difficult to make rules that cover the current figure range, with it's nine foot tall space marines, dreadnoughts, winged demons and tyranids, vehicles and huge 'heros' balancing on tactical rock piles, GW just doesnt bother with decent rules for fighting inside buildings. This may be why most 40k players just don't bother either and mostly stick with the occasional solid terrain display pieces and L shaped cardboard.
>>
>>96485173
They would look ok with a bit of paint. Maybe glue them to lollypop sticks and add random bits of foliage and earth piled up against them (using wood filler), add random extra rows to each long one to break up the straight lines a bit? Walls tend to be built straight, with nature making them more 'organic' over time.

I'm just getting back into the hobby after more then a decade out. I originally became interested via articles like this in White Dwarf back in the day. I left as White Dwarf was going weekly, but even before that, terrain guides like this were becoming a rarity. Does modern White Dwarf ever have cool terrain articles and how-to's like this, or is it just painting guide for GW's plastic terrain?

aye, same here. Well, except continental Europe, so our walls are only just a few steps removed from just being a pile of rocks.

don't have those, what I had is white colored primer, so I decided to go over all of them with black to get into the corners and nooks, but I feel like that was an unnecessary step.

I want to make them look similar to the pieces on the bottom left, so planning to do what I did with those.
Drybrush white and then as you wrote grey-black-yellow plus streaking stuff.
