Post amazing terrain, amazing tables, and good looking games Rules: no slop!
might as well make it cat friendly if you're gonna have an entire room dedicated to thisI remember when I was 8 I would cover the living room with army men and imagine a giant war taking place in my head, which I guess is why I play wargames now
>>97193515This photo would cause mass suicides and hysteria in /40kg/
>>97193515sick terrain scares and confuses me
What is the purpose of these absurd maps. It's not like anyone actually plays on them.
>>97193526when I was little I would grab this light sandy colored blanket and lay it on top of books to simulate hills while going on adventures with those little dinosaurs and alien plastic toys. my big sister would sometimes play with me. good times
>>97193693This is the "why do white people climb mountains" of /tg/
>>97193747This post confuses the 40kuck
>>97193515this sort of terrain discriminates against centerpiece models and titanic units, no thanks
>>97193515Here's my board from my Halloween battletech game
>>97193515If there's interest, I've got pictures from NoVa this year I was in the TC narrative event there
I love sick terrain!
>>97193526Just don't have a cat, problem solved.
>>97193935This table is what all true MechWarriors strive for.
>>97194497Why the fuck would you have a cat? Worst pets
>>97193526I know the toxoplasmosis has long since addled your brain, but you do know that the cat is *your* pet, right? You are not its? You don't have to redesign every single part of your life and home around their existence, it's okay to just keep them out of places they have no business in.
>>97193515Some pieces of terrain I made.
>>97201831Catcucks cannot be helped. >>97201841No offense beastbro, but when you gonna make some new terrain? You've been posting these trees for ages. Sincerely it looks good, you should add to the collection, and make a big centerpiece or two. Maybe a barrow or some kinda stone altar on a hill
>>97193515Is this for Mordheim?
>>97202030I have a herdstone that I need to do, but ever since I going a place to game at I’ve had little use for making terrain. It is fun tho, and a nice break from minis.
This is a snip of a terrain board I built for AT/LI (8mm scale). I’m super proud of it as it was my first real attempt at such a project and I think it came out well.
Different view
>>97202907>>97202916AT is giga based
>>97202943Yes it is. AT is fucking legit.
>>97193533Good
>>97193515That terrain is fucking sick, dude.
>>97193526>might as well make it cat friendlyWhy? I grew with cats and I never understood this stupidity of allowing cats to go wherever they want. They are pets not you.
>>97207777Quads observed. Cats are popular with women and weak men, incapable of projecting authority and imposing standards on anyone in their lives. Their cats walk all over them because they let their cats walk all over them, and then they excuse their weakness with nonsense like, "cats can't be trained," or, "cats domesticated humans."
I'm gonna go make some sick terrain tonight, thanks
>>97193935how did that car get on top of the building and why is it twice normal size?
>>97193526>I can't built a cool gaming table because my faggot cat will jump on and destroy it!or just don't let the cat into the room? what type of cucked shit is this? throw his ass out if he tries to walk in
>>97211318>how did that car get on top of the buildingMy players thought it's be funny as fuck. They were absolutely correct>and why is it twice normal size?I dunno what you're talking about anon aren't all cars 20m long?
>>97211654I’m a post-3062 player so I’m not sure.WOLVERIIIIIINES!
>>97193935Love me some Battletech played with 3D terrainJust wish it wasn't hextech 95% of the time
made some trees for 6mm-10mm. Next project is my Zombie board. Anyone got some good "modern american city", post apocalyptic, or zombie board pictures?
>>97212502and more trees
>>97212502Those look quite niceI tried making some for Battletech, but they are quite mehDid you follow some tutorial?
>>97202943>>97203281Only modern GW game worth playing really, now they've ruined 30K.
>>97212502Modern cities are so kino if done well
>>97212467>Love me some Battletech played with 3D terrain>Just wish it wasn't hextech 95% of the timeWe're actually working on that, we've got guys printing stuff for the board and building hex stuff. You can see a couple of the buildings we were looking at working in in the picture but I'm not digging them out of the big box of battletech terrain
>>97193526maybe try closing your hobby room for once
>>97193976Is that the one were a girl got raped and TC was banned later? If so, post more info
>>97213902Uhhh anon did you not read the OP, this thread is for good terrain
>>972125431. take 1.5-2 inch nails, preferably one with large flat heads2. glue them onto a base with the tip facing upwards using super glue3.spray paint the entire thing brown4. grab some hot glue or gel super glue, apply a generous amount to the tip5. stab a chunk of Woodland Scenics FOLIAGE CLUSTERS onto the nail.6. base and seal with water/pvaUse the foliage clusters, not clump foliage. foliage clusters are large and dense, clump foliage is tiny and crumbly, a real pain in the ass to work with for this purpose.
I wish I had the space for all of this. for the tools, the materials and the finished terrain.right now all of my stuff is either in the way or put away in a way that I forget that i have it. and when I build something, I have to properly store it somewhere for it not to be damaged.
I don't have sick amazing terrain, but I'm trying
>>97193526Man the redditors really hated this post. Weird how they keep coming to this cat website just to get mad.

anyone have some good examples of sick bridges and walkways? need some vertical in my games
>>97193747Skirmish games, anon. Go play some.

>>97218575>STILL not denying it>resorts to making up ridiculous fanfiction about those noting his redditry And brown ESL diction to boot.There's no reason anon talking about dual purposing terrain for his pet should make you so angry.>>97220420>bridge between two tablesNow this is podracing. The lego streetlights are an interesting choice, I always wonder about using lego for terrain, but I guess you'd need a lot of it to do it all in lego, and that stuff gets pricier every year.
>>97216732>>97218554https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNNuIxzEdUQthe table was a book reference iirc

Does anyone have a good guide on Middle East terrain? Anything from Ancient to early twentieth century would be appreciated, especially homes and religious buildings, mosques or otherwise.
>>97227184>Does anyone have a good guide on Middle East terrain?check modern historicals like Asymmetric Warfare and SPECTRE. Also try looking for "MENA terrain" and "mud-brick terrain"
>>97227184You can buy house kits mostly for Afghanistan from Rendra and the Perry brothers' website>https://www.renedra.co.uk/product/afghanistan-to-middle-east-two-storey-houses/
>>97231974>>97231719The great thing about middle-eastern scenery is that in rural parts it's basically just mud-brick sangars and the odd gaily painted caravanserai from the dark ages to present.There are differences sure, but some basic block houses are close enough for jazz whatever the era.
>>97213658Yep it was lol
>>97193830Same reason really, to take pictures
>>97213658>Is that the one were a girl got rapedWait what?
Enchanted forest under construction.
>>97193515This sort of terrain discriminates against centerpiece models and titanic units, perfect.
Give me good recommendations for starter terrain.
Not exactly great terrain, but this was our Christmas Day tabletop game. It's The Wreck, from the 3.5E Savage Tide campaign (Dungeon magazine, 2006).The 3D section is five pirate ships impaled on three trees.
>>97201117Someone clearly has never had a parrot. Holy fuck, do not miss that.
>>97201841Nice, very based and tree-pilled.
>>97251749True. I choked my wife's conure to search while she was asleep. I hated that annoying fucker
>>97251756Holy fuck, I wouldn't have done that. Hope you're memeing and you didn't actually murder your wife's pet behind her back.
>>97251794>murder Bro it's a bird you gaping pussy
>>97213658Trench Crusade has been a fucking mess since its very inception. Anyone with any sense will have nothing to do with it.
>>97251221Whenever you go to stores, look around for random bullshit that you can just buy and turn into terrain. Electrical switch boxes, birdhouses, pringles cans, pvc pipes, shipping tubes, toy playsets, a container of peanuts that looks vaguely fuel tank shaped, etc. You'd be surprised how many of these items can be turned into nice terrain pieces if you just paint them, texture them and glue random shit on like straws, foam bricks, 3D printed doors and windows, corrugated paper, cardstock shingles, etc.
>>97252359Good advice. For example, I have a nice crenellated guard tower I picked up at Michael's for $5, in the birdhouse isle. :)
bump
>>97213658?????
>>97252359You inspired me to make this.Needs more rivets and details on the doors etc but now I'm planning to make a whole FOB set for the guard based off a modular base container.
>>97258922I love this
>>97213658I too want to hear the deets on this, what have those trench degenerates been doing?
Anon from >>97227184First of all, thank you to everyone that replied. Secondly, I’d like to ask for any suggestions for interesting ME terrain I could build. I’m working on houses and a water tower at the moment, and plan on making a Saddam-esque statue as well as a ruined temple, but what else could I make? Specifically I’m looking for something that can fill a gameplay niche. For example, the water tower acts as 360 elevated terrain for a sniper, the temple works as a place for scattered terrain, and the houses act as two story/cqb/hard cover. I want to make an apartment/skyscrapper, but I’d like to things 1930’s or earlier and I’m not sure how common or what styles of those things existed in the region at that period.
>>97263429 You could probably watch some vintage movies and take some screen grabs for ideas.
>>97263429Minarets are an obvious tallpoint. If you want to see what period exteriors looked like, watch Casablanca, Lawrence of Arabia and movies like that. It seems like a *lot* of it was just whitewashed two-story mud-brick houses though, so.
>>97220420Are the bridges just resting between tables? Or clamped in some way? I'd be afraid of them falling if bumped.
>>97213658>pander to leftists and "anti-chuds">suddenly your community is full of sex pests and rapistsWHOCOULD HAVEFORSEENTHIS?!
>>97193526I used to have those weird puzzle block pieces that could be fitted either flat or at right angles that I'd use to build forts and arenas for my toys to do battle in.
>>97264183How's the view from Bangladesh mate?
>>97264252Weird shot in the dark there, especially given the way TC glazes muzzies harder than Americans glaze their donuts.
>>97260737Thanks! You can have the first model in the line for free.https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/buddy-bunker-a1f556910bb94e97c67d
>>97213658Okay but for real, let's hear the story on this.
>>97208576
>>97213658Bumping for the tale
>>97276840It's bullshit, anon.
really love the story this image tells and the subtle themes and motifs caught inadvertently in the shot
>>97282467
>>97282474
>>97282492
>>97282498
>>97282593
>>97282602
>>97282610How much does a mat like that cost?I think it would look a lot better with the grass cut shorter but still cool. I've seen people make similiar mats with shag carpets and fur coats.
>>97282610
>>97282707I made it myself and had to cut the furs to an acceptable length myself. I did this for three 9x5 mats with a razor meant for shaving. The price was was the price of a 9x5 mat of faux fur and 10 bucks worth of the cheapest craft store paint possible. Oh and it destroyed two $5 dollar shavers I bought at the thrift store.
recommendations for simple d&d terrain? just something to spice up the board
>>97282794Small houses, scatter terrain like furniture and rubble, Greek columns/pillars, simple slab monuments, one-three room houses, trees, simple cliffs. Each adds something unique, either visually or mechanically.
>>97282858good ideas, but I meant like if anyone wanted to recommend where to get or how to make simple stuff like trees or houses
>>97282895https://gofile.io/d/amz62n
I really like early/mid 2000's era terrain and aesthetics. It's still got some of that 80's/90's Warhammer authenticity but isn't into the modern soulless GW run by normies era.
>>97214071I'm not the anon that asked, but I'm glad they did because those 6mm trees are legit some of the best I've ever seen. I actually held off on making some because none of the other tutorials I'd seen were as good.Do you mind also sharing how you did the bases?
>>97286126Seconding this, would also like a tutorial for the conifers if those used a different method.
Maybe not for wargaming, but I'd really like to get into building out scenes irl with props, but I want it to be extremely flexible as I tend to change environments quite often or have environmental changes during TTRPG.
>>97286126the bases are EPVC sheet. commonly used in sign making. The upside is they never warp, the downside is they aren't porous and won't accept paint or PVA until you sand them, which is a bitch if you're doing lots of bases. but use whatever bases you want, cardboard, mdf, etc>>97288673the conifers were an absolute bitch. the conifers are made from chenille stems and the biggest hurdle is buying Chenille stems that look right. most are smooshed and flattened into triangles, the trick is buying stems that look fluffy and cone shaped, to match the shape of conifers.I had to buy 6 packs of chenille stems before finding some that looked right. I can't give you a link to these stems because they were on ebay and I bought the last one. Anyways once you find a suitable pack of stems, you have to cut them in half into the shape of conifers and then hot glue them onto a base. Then I sprayed the entire thing brown and flocked every single tree by taking a shitty brush and brushing diluted PVA onto every single tree.As I said, these are a massive pain in the ass and I honestly wouldn't recommend doing it unless you're extremely autistic and have spare cash to just throw around on buying random packs of chenille stems until you find a properly shaped one.
>>97290256>the conifers are made from chenille stemsWait, like pipe cleaners? I would NEVER have figured that out from looking at them, thanks a ton for posting this, Anonbro.Also, the warning is noted.
Some shots of my models with homemade woodland scenery
>>97292255
>>97292261And with some reconditioned Citadel bits
>>97290925>Wait, like pipe cleaners? I would NEVER have figured that out from looking at themWait until you hear about the missiles.
>>97292261I like all of your photos, anon, but this is my favorite. It’s a good photo; reminds me of some late Cold War photos.
>>97292426>>97290925>>97290256You can get huge sacks of these little "Christmas trees" on wooden bases for about a dime each. They take the same paint/glue mix + flock treatment and they're a lot easier to handle than the pipe cleaners. Once they're dry you just cut them off the wooden plugs and jam 'em into your bases.
Trench Crusade my beloved.

>>97204388The paved modular roads look fucking great, where do I even find these.

>>97213658Haha yeah I remember thatFucking bizarre
>>97299805That's just the color the foam came in. No clue why it's blue.
>>97299764The cannons are either pathfinder minis or nozulrs I don't remember which but they were cheap.
>>97212467I actually like most of their stuff, but it does get a bit repetitive seeing it in every game.
This month's heroes infinite subscription files is pretty horny but the terrain looks fantastic. Really live the indo/Asian theme and will in the future hopefully get these printed for my own board
>>97299650It feels like someone asked an AI to make a trench.I see the parts for a proper trench like the steps near the edge to shoot from it (but can't actually place any models).Zig zag to prevent shrapnel and explosion from killing everyone, but leaving massive continues corridors so a single guy with a shotgun could kill an entire line of troops. The potential is there to make it great and also playable, but it is just so off that it manage to pull some kind of trench uncanny valley
>>97301498I think it works for a game, rather than modeling rl.The long stretches encourage conflict, rather than spending game turns (a limited thing) moving to position, while also still offering a lot of los breaks to keep a model from toasting everything in sight.The symmetry doesn't offer advantage to one side, as well, so alternating turns means you aren't doomed if you have models in the open.It is a game caveat I'm willing to accept, unless you are playing a historical, in which your post would absolutely apply,Even still, Battle of the Bulge was rife with the exact issue you brought up, so it would still have precedent.tl;dr it works for a game with a time limit.
>>97213902Sick board, anon. Keep up the good work.
>>97215321This qualifies as sick in my book. Tell your gaming buddies that Anon said they should appreciate you more.
I wish I could get these terain mats again...I should have bought all the versions when they were up
>>97251221These are easy as fuck and useful for most any euro or post Colonial NA gaming.https://youtu.be/RA-VgiDcMBE?si=CY0T6Y_S0bEcTROTPic rel was my low effort Necromunda/industrial terrain attempt. Looks okay and is very easy to fill a table. Just jam pvc pipe together and slap on some paint. Im well aware my shit is nowhere near the level of "sick" terrain, but its better than cardboard L'sBesr thing you can do is just raid your recycling bin. Glue random shit together and paint it until it starts to look like something. You'll learn as you go.
>>97301533>works for a game with a time limitEvery wargame has a time limit... Not sure why you mention it that.>symmetry doesn't offer advantage You are not playing a wargame then.
>>97213658For those interested, this is bullshit being spread by people that have an axe to grind with Trench Crusade. It started as ‘Trecnh Crusade chuds being edgy’ and has progressed to ‘rape’ with zero media coverage, no statement from NoVa, and no corroborating info within the Sydney gaming scene (which I have been a part of since the mid-90’s). There are literally no articles, statements or criminal charges relating to this so-called incident, and when you ask for details you will never ever get any.
>>97299650Nice!
More from Fow
Don't think it's quite what you meant, but I like my Lego store. It's way too big, realistically, but it's more fun this way.

>>97299695>Wares BladeOh, that mech is an actual game piece huh
>>97305267The drop is called Lust Elves
>>97306169Yes and No, that model is the iron giant from panzer world Galient by Plamax, a fixed posed plastic kit with the correct asthenic to match the setting. I'm treating it as a 1/56 scale mech though in truth it's actually closer to 1/100 going by its own canon. I do have a canon Wares Blade resin model that's the correct scale that's the same size as the iron giant (2nd from the left). I'm using 90-100mm bases for all the mechs in my campaign.
>>97306195That's sick as hell. I hope one day to be able to convince my friends to play Wares Blade with me
>>97306195>>97306169and with some 28mm minis for scale.
>>97301445Eh, that's a lot more pasties than Raging heroes used to go for.>>97305267It seems to be the minis he's calling horny, not the terrain.
>>97306195The dukemon shield is killing me. Though highlights that the various knight digimon would probably be perfect to play a game like that with.

Still WiP (need ot finish the texture and doors) but here is my 1 level ZM board. I have 9 tiles of empty 12x12 and 9 tiles of 2 level ZMWith way more in progress too, Once its done should have a mighty mighty underhive board to play Munda and ZM on.
>>97303952This makes me believe it is true or at least partially true as in someone molesting some random girl during an event more than actual rape.

>>97307793>immediately leaked with receiptsTry again.
the hobby peaked in 2008
>>97307503very coolI have half a mind to glue down my plastic ZM board because the modularity, while cool, also means things jostle around a lot
I recently finished a dark monolith for a 3-player campaign, with dwarfs, VC and TK.>>97285391That's cool. I should do some dwarf-specific terrain for WHF/TOW.
>>97215846Certain kinds of Redditors flooded this site without realising that their kind were hated here because Reddit is and always was a dogshit site that encouraged awful communities and non-discussion, they thought it was just because it’s full of liberals. These “people” are basically all failed normalfags who don’t fit in properly anywhere, you see them most on the boards that attract Redditors (this one does because Redditors love 40k and DnD)Also most of them are brownoids.
>>97314327I have modular 2d tiles from munda and badzones still for quick throw out tables I can travel withThen I have tonnes of walls and columns and empty tiles for modular 1 level tiles.Then have the fixed layout 1 and 2 level tiles.If you have the space to store it, just mimic the old FW tiles and youll have tonnes of variation still and save 30 minutes pre game setting up for ages and get rid of the mid game hive quakes
>>97303952It's a typical GW simp MO. The disinfo about T9A was that a bunch of them rolled around NoVa breaking terrain.
