Post your favourite Warhammer Terrain kek
>>97272480Does your boyfriend know you're posting his photo here?
>>97272480Warhammer is my passion.
a lil terrain I made in October
>>97272591But that terrain is actually really cool, anon. You should post it in >>97193515, not here.
Postan!
Modern flgs and waac 40k is cancer. Just play narrative games with friends at home
>>97272480This batrep is what made me buy my first codex.
>>97273077And this is my attempt to replicate that battlefield.
Historitroon boomers have shit terrain as well. Shitty felt mats, a green felt patch to signify forested areas, ww2 naval wargaming so they can entirely ignore terrain. Ugly as fuck. Delusional historitroon your world is twice as ugly as ours and there's way more of us so there's way more examples you can scour off the internet but here's the uncomfortable truth /awg/ and /hwg/ don't like to bring up in these terrain quality discussions: the best looking Warhammer 40k tables absolutely mog the fuck out of the best historical tables. Larger player base=larger pool of dedicated artists and terrain modellers with the disposable income to spend on terrainAdditionally, I made a fantastic post that I like to reiterate when discussing this topic, and it has nothing to do with aesthetics but GAMEPLAY, ya know, the thing that actually matters in warGAMING. I'll copy paste it off the archive and post it in my next post
>>97273165Forgot my image which was important to my point. Other wargames have even uglier tables
>>97273173Odd. it's not posting. Let's try that one more time
>>97273077>>97273098You guys don't get it. This isn't a place to post cool old 40k terrain (very nice recreation of the codex btw). This is a thread to make fun and shame current 40k players into hopefully stopping play on ugly L shaped ruin tables.
>>97273191fuck you I'll post whatever the fuck I want
>>97273098awesome
>>97273165>>97273184Ok good the image posted. Now the follow up argument that I've yet to see anyone on /tg/ logically disprove"yes, obviously, left looks better than right, no one is going to disagree with that. but when playing a GAME, right is obviously going to be a funner experience for BOTH sides, just look at the utter lack of balance in the left terrain set up. the near side has to traverse a river and then fight through open fields while the far side immediately gets access to most the hard cover of buildings on the map and on top of that gets the hedgerows overlooking the open fields. its blatantly not fair and poorly set up.>but just give the attack side more units!ok then, how do you balance that? how do you know how many points to allocate to balance out the terrain advantage? double? triple? what if thats too much and now the attacker has the distinct advantage? its way too much trouble to figure out. thats why tourney tables will always provide the better gameplay experience for BOTH sides. GAMEplay. WarGAMES. These are GAMES. A good game needs to be fun for all involved. It is not fun when one side has an inherent advantage over the other. There is a reason why 40k tournaments are by and far the most popular wargaming events and playstyle over every single alternative."Think of it this way. Look at Battletech players. They arguably play on the ugliest paper hex mats and hex counter terrain in wargaming, despite the fact that playing BT with physical and 3d terrain has existed for decades. They CHOOSE the uglier terrain because readability and clear rules for LOS matter to gameplay, aesthetics do not.

>>97273245>They CHOOSE the uglier terrain because readability and clear rules for LOS matter to gameplay, aesthetics do not.Using your own logic Chess is a far superior game to 40k and if you go by your standards you and every other 40kek should be playing Chess.
>>97273333A key component that chess doesn't have over 40k is 40k lore. That's half the reason people play 40k
>>97273361Wait...are you saying there's more to why people play wargames than perceived balance?
>>97273361>A key component that chess doesn't have over 40k is 40k lore. That's half the reason people play 40kAnd to those battles in the lore all take place on a flat surfaces with L shaped cardboard ruins?
>>97273381That's always been the case, which is why I don't hate on people who play on nice terrain or ugly terrain. I just defend people who choose to play with balance focused terrain. By your own logic it's YOU who should lay of L shaped tourney terrain because it's YOU who doesn't understand that there's other reasons than aesthetics that people choose to play wargames
>>97273387That could reasonably happen in the 40k universe. It's far from the strangest terrain possible in the setting
>>97272480I made some foam hills but after a base coat and a bit of paint they started to warp. Any ideas?
>>97273277>>97273333>falling for the copy pastaLol.
>>97273426Warp how? Like the foam itself or the base?
>>97273438It is only copypasta in so far as I reuse it often against an argument that I see often, but it's purely fact driven and I've still yet to see a successful argument against it from any of you
>>97273470I've seen if refuted almost every time I've seen you post itYou're just a fucking retarded soulless faggot and most likely non-white
>>97273444It's hard to tell because they're attached. I imagine it's the foam?>>97273245>>97273470It's because your argument is weak. It's based on the idea that wargames are a sound competitive pursuit.
>>97273517Desiring a balanced playing field is not automatically a competitive minded position >>97273483If that were true you could easily search my post in the archive and post these alleged refutations
>>97273534I don't need to, you've been refuted this threadYou're a soulless hylic
>>97273555I accept your concession
>>97273587>I accept your concessionpost hand and models
