>>97699456Very cool! What is the rigid down pipe made of?
>>97698348WW2 Atlantic Wall fortifications for 1/72 scale wargaming. Made from carved and sanded expanded fpam.
This my kinda thread.
>>97698348I've always loved the cramped urban layout of Infinity tables, a shame the setting is ass and the gameplay autistic.
>>97701025I hardly make anything anymore though.Last thing were these playable bunkers, planned to make sets with several different pieces (a watchtower, two bunkers, one larger building) and sell them.
>>97701047Partly this cause my work station is a terrible mess.
>>97701047Removable roofs is a good idea.
I'm just getting into playing One Page rules skirmish and I need some ideas for some simple setups. I don't have alot of time to get things ready beforehand> did anyone have any ideas for like some 1ft tiles I can just sort of shuffle?
>>97701367Would look better with just a shadow after the T fell off.
This will hopefully be the centerpiece of a local clubs 28mm skirmish board when it's finished and printed
I made a few one pic tutorials over the years.
>>97701031that ones for Core Space, but I recently ordered it to play BLKOUT on, if you're interested I'll let you know how it goes
I fucking love beautiful TERRAIN!!!! Warhammer cucks will never understand the joy of playing of a thematic and immersive table
>>97702922>Warhammer cucks will never understand the joy of playing of a thematic and immersive tableThe move away from the classic 4x6 table and the packing of extra models in every army really killed the sense of scale and the importance of maneuver.
I'm a literal nogames but if i was a real human with hobbies instead of being shitpile, i would use all kind of crap (weird trash and junk parts from work etc.) to make terrain pieces for miniature games.
Some smaller bits I'm working on to go alongside the well

>>97701069oh neat I remember seeing that wip, cool to see it together, looks really good.
>>97701230This sort of idea with each board being a main feature>swamp >hill>rough patch >flat >double hill and then some scatter terrain should do it. Pick 4-6 large features, a couple flats to put between them and you're good to go.
>>97708243150x110cm for people who doesn't use made up measuring systems.
>>97708271Thats not bad, cutting it into smaller cubes looks like a good option.

>>97709430>look mom, I posted it again!!
>>97699345>>97699444th-thanks for posting my stuff
Current table. Nothing too fancy. Just a few yards of plain green cloth from walmart, with just a touch of spray paint for variation. Hindering terrain boundaries are green felt cutouts, also touched up with spray paint. Water is just cutouts from blue transparency sheets. Tree scatter is just model railroad trees that I touched up with even more spray paint, and based. bridges are popsicle stick builds
Every time there's a terrain thread I end up working on my own terrain.Love being inspired by the rest of you bros
>>97709530Huge MageKnight fan here. I used one of the castle doors here lol. I bought a ton of the metals and painters edition to repaint the line one day
>>97709701My nigga. Atlantis were my very first guys of any game, and I refuse to get rid of them. I've been kind of recently getting back into MK(1.0), and building out other armies with ebay. you can buy "randomized" lots of pretty cheap
this is the latest terrain project I've finished. Turned out to be impossible to reach the ships in the center of the board during play however, so we had to remove a couple of tables
what do you use to flock large areas in such a way that it looks good and remains sturdy?I've used static grass with a static grass applicator for a 6x4 table once. Looks really nice, but I wonder how well it actually holds up, it was also a mess to do
>>97710735You have to fix/cure it with lots of watered down PVA sprayed on.I recommend rather using oldschool/railway flock from sawdust though.
>>97710859>You have to fix/cure it with lots of watered down PVA sprayed on.that's what I tried to do, but I might have underestimated just how much I needed because there's some release from the board.The bigger mistake in hindsight was to use EPS instead of XPS because I don't dare transport this from fear of breaking it.is sawdust flock just the stuff you get results on when searching model railway flock that isn't static grass?
>>97710566The modular coastline is a neat idea, how did you map out the joins?
>>97698348Are there any files or tutorials for this or similar types of multi-floor papercraft sci-fi terrains? It honestly looks perfect for a homebrew we're testing right now
>>97711447Yea.
>>97712426>papercraftI believe that's a laser-cut terrain kit, but there's. I'd say check youtube terrain tutorials. I'm pretty sure I've seen some that are mostly just texture sheets printed out with a home printer and glued to cardboard
I've been making some stuff. Mostly cardboard, XPS and smaller prints.
>>97713355In hindsight, removable roofs would not have been much more effort, yet provide some extra playing options.
>>97713418Want to make a few more pieces fitting these styles and theme for options to do forest, town outskirts and farms boards.Then eventually go sci-fi and make a weird slums type set of terrain.
>>97713303I don't know anon, tape measures with imperial and metric on them are easy to find too. Shouldn't really be an issue to anyone in current year.
>>97712017they're numbered on the backsides and I have pictures on my phone of how they go together. They're not actually physically connected, but that doesn't really matter since they're not supposed to be touched in play and the cloth provides friction
>>97713294>>97712426"Crooked Staff Publishing" has a ton of videos on youtube and free files for paper/cardboard craft on Drivethru RPG. The videos tend to put me to sleep (it's all essentially printing out a pattern, gluing to cardboard and folding/gluing it together) but there's a lot of good stuff available. Worth a look, anyway.
>>97713355>>97713418>>97713445Those lumpy deciduous trees are spot on for Quar games, really nice.
how do you guys /diy/? Do you even /diy/? it seems like all the "wargaming" terrain all so expensive
>>97715057What sort of terrain do you want?
>>97715057I make everything from trash, this is from rocket sticks colected on new years (europeans will know what I'm talking about) and balsa.
>>97715057This technique can be applied to a lot of things.
>>97715336
>>97715339
>>97715341
>>97715339>>97715341I am always in trouble with terrain bases. For small pieces corrugated cardboard and even that thin cerealbox type can work. But for something big like these I often read MDF recommended but that sounds like an extra hassle with procuring and cutting.Also the dilemma of having a fixed layout of pieces with bases over being able to freely place stuff, but the former also lets you decorate them nicely.
>>97715425It's just about what works for your style of game and storage space, setup preferences, available material.I prefer single pieces with no visible base for versatility of setup, also I can just toss it all in a big box for storage.I use thin plywood which I scavenge from bulky waste spots; the bottoms of drawers, the backs of cabinets, etc. I simply precut it with a hobby knife and then break it off.A tile like style like in the tutorial is best if you have a large storage space and want a very quick setup.Pic unrelated, but great for inspiration.
>>97709027lol metric system is the made up one.>invented centuries after imperial system by some froggy protosocialists>not based on real world objects like hands and feet, or stride length>made up out of thin air by eggheads who thought they new better than millennia of human experience
>>97715455Yeah, these look very cool. I assume in big part because of the uniformity of style.
>>97715057But of both. I buy some and build some.To build I normally use foam. It's good for hills. For SciFi, foam + trash + greebles
>>97715318>rocket sticksAhh, glorious sky wood
>>97710566Use pool qeues to move the pieces, like they used plotting squadron positions in the Battle of Britain.
>>97715057There are lots of ways to make cheap terrain.Grab an old terrain toy from your kiddies toy box (castle, train set, houses, etc), paint and modify them to look more realistic.Make buildings from card (either print off papercraft buildings or recycle any old boxes and pringle tubes you have)Carve buildings, walls and terrain from expanded foam insulation sheets and white goods packing.Use tubs of wood filler to make terrain.Get cheap terrain from fish tank shops.Paint plastic food containers and use as sci fi buildings.Make hedges or fields of crops from sample pieces of astroturf cut into strips.Use pieces of fake coloured fur or cloth as fields of crops.The options and methods you can use are endless.
Stockade fort towers and walls made from BBQ skewers glued in place onto lollypop sticks using wood filler.
>>97716070It's always cool how simple concepts can really work when fully committed to.
>>97715318Yessss.
I started working on this basic ruin/damaged fortification a while ago but hit a mental block and I'm not sure what I want to do with it and I'd like advice. The walls will be built up higher on the upper floor for cover but I need to work out some other stuff first.The first thing I'm not sure about is what I'm going to do with the ground. I don't want it to just be dirt/sand. I thought about cutting out squares of cardboard to tile/pave the ground but I'm not sure if it would look "right" thematically.The second thing I'm not sure about is the wooden platform. I know a lot of people like to snap all the edges off haphazardly to make it look really messed up but I don't really want to do that. Even though it's going to be a ruin, I still want it to look like it could reasonably be used as a defensive platform. I'm thinking maybe I'll just cut the exposed edge straight/flush but then maybe put a couple of small holes through the planks to show a bit of disrepair. But I'm indecisive.
>>97713597Oh that works. Going to work on a coast line made in a way that is easy to recombine into different shapes. Thanks anon.
>>97716234>cut the exposed edge straight, then maybe put a couple of small holes through the planks to show a bit of disrepairThis. If it's supposed to be (re)used for defense, you'd realistically want to remove all the pointy bits for safety sake, and to avoid stuff getting caught up on them.So cut them straight, and I wouldn't worry if it ends up a little uneven - it's not supposed to look perfect.>lower floorWooden floor as well? Some sacks, crates and barrels - the usual provisions stuff, maybe some tools and materials for repair?
>>97705833We used to be a proper Wargame.10th is just a random boardgame wearing the skin of 40k.

>>97716217Nice.
>>97709587Same, lets see it
>>97712426if you go archive digging /po/ had a couple of big torrents with stuff like this (world works games, fat dragon & dave graffam models is kinda what you're after)it's horribly unsorted btw
Snapshot from this weekend. I introduced some coworkers to TTRPGs, things went well
>>97715456Sorry, pebbles and hogsheads are outdated. I don't make the rules
>>97719379
>>97716461I should mention that the stuff I did isn't intended to be modular. This is part of Svensksund in Finland.That's not to say it couldn't be modular or the same method couldn't be used for modular boards. In fact I would love to play man'o'war on this table at some point
>>97715425I buy cheap clipboards from dollar stores to use as bases. Cut off the metal clip then slather both sides of the board with mod-podge and you're good to go. very strong and stiff with a low profile.
>>97722016Beauty terrain, Anon. What game did you play?
>>97715057Its way easier than it looks. Get something flat and sturdy enough to be used as a base, glue random junk to it until you feel that it looks like something, prime and paint. Its intimidating at first, but once you scratch build your first terrain piece, it all kind of makes sense.Try these two projects first historical/fantasy Stone wallshttps://youtu.be/RA-VgiDcMBE?si=wVMjvReHgTJM_LBKSci fi /40k wallahttps://youtu.be/uIMfwD_wPeo?si=xBIrA8-LYWe1XxeTOnce you just start fucking around and realize how easy it is, you start noticing materials in your daily life that you can gank for terrain.Pic related is one of my terrain pieces at a the built, primed, and then finished(ish) stages.(. ( I always found these unfinished terrain pics helpful to really visualize a project, so hopefully it works as well for you.) As you can see, I just started gluing random household junk and cheap materials together until it started looking like an industrial slum.Scotch tube, spice tubes, insulation foam, popsicle sticks, knitting mesh, dog poo bag rolls, and some dollar store foam core. The base is a dollar store clip board that cost about two bucks. Paint anything wood or paper based with glue, prime it all, paint it all, and you're good to go. Good luck. Post a pic of your first terrain piece.
>>97722840It seemed fairly specific but I think a setup with notations on the bottom of which different pieces it could match up to or something similar could work. Its a neat idea I'll work on. Thanks anon.
>>97698348Always wanted to buy one of this set, but the durability of them makes me question them.I have never seen and actual honest review of the product or seen them in person.
>>97723259Thanks man. I'm luring them in with DnD, anything else would be a hard sell, and it works well with the beer and pretzel style we are going for
Made some trenches or ditches depending on what game you play.

>>97725125What's the face on that building from? Looks cool.
>>97723710I have their Fantasy Village set, and some of the buildings are in The Wreck Pic I posted above. I keep them assembled in a drawer when not in use and they've held up well over about 4 years.
Eeeasy pipes from toilet paper rolls.
>>97725445No idea, just grabbed a few pics from a guy called Skeaze. Very inspirational. He wrote:>This one is built on an old Christmas box from the dollar store, and includes bits from @alidogansayiner , loads of random trash, 3D printed bits from a few different creators (including @thatwhatgrows ), and a bunch of 3D printed bits I designed myself to fit this specific building.
>spreading PVA across the base with your fingersOh yeah, that's nice
>>97723247I do the exact same thing, these are great.
Id love to dumb some cool terrain pics I've collected but the post timer is really making me loathe the idea
>>97723247I just buy boards of the same material the clipboards are made of.
>>97725726>just start adding more statues to buildings Okay, yes good call. Thanks for the directions, interesting stuff.
>>97715456Exactly, I mean measuring systems derived from multiples of bodyparts that vary in size from person to person that eventually had an arbitrary standard size agreed based on a multiple of the size of a grain of cereal crop that was also entirely abitrary is just so much more intuitive.
>>97710566Did you try getting some adults to play with you to give you Uppies?
mouthbreathing retard here, what material are you supposed to make buildings from? Trying to cut out shapes from popsicle sticks with a hobby knife is extremely frustrating, and paper/cardboard gets warped when i try to paint it.
>>97735529>paper/cardboard gets warped when i try to paint it.When used as a base? Sure that could be an issue but you can use one of these as a base >>97723247But if the wells themself are warping? Are you dipping the walls into a paint can or something?
>>97735529Most people use foam board, or insulation foam. >>97735608Paper and cardboard always warps when it gets painted because paint is full of water and the paper/cardboard sucks it up. You can minimize the warping my painting both sides so it evens it out, but it's not ideal.
>>97734591This, but unironically.
>>97735529Double layer currogated cardboard works fine if you make buildings out of it, it will warp when used as a flat, stand alone surface though.
You can even use your simple, everyday packaging bubble foam.
>>97735529I typically use card for the structure of buildings then cover it with DAS mixed with plastic glue. Foam is used to make hills or brickwork, in the former case its then covered with filler or clay to give shape.
>>97737277>Paper and cardboard always warpsYeah, but to the point of being a problem? Make me question what is anon doing to his walls.
>>97738414I've heard spraying that stuff with a rattle can will melt it. How about airbrushing, would that work?
>>97739265Solvent will melt any foam, the paint needs to be water soluble.
>>97739265>>97739338I've heard you can spray varnish on the foam first to prevent melting when you spray paint, but I don't know how true that is.
>>97739491Only if the varnish is water soluble.Also you will probably not cover everything and still end up with a few molten parts.
>>97739491Paint any foam, wood, paper, cardboard, etc. with a layer of mod-podge, then paint to your hearts content. If you're worried about warping, cover both sides of a material with mod podge
>>97698348How did these images effect your games of Warhammer?
>>97739265Have you tried sealing it with diluted PVA glue or priming with gesso?
I cut rough semicircles out of the tops of some big plastic tubs of sweets, to use as a definite border for forest zones.Roughly painted, sanded, stuck on a little flockI just put my coin-based candle-braided sprue scatter trees on top.Featuring; Wargames Atlantic Spider and accessories.Which are STILL out of stock >:(
>>97739265I just coat it with polyfiller.'S what I make hills out of.
>>97739265i remember someone telling me that whats making it melt is the accelerant, what makes the paint in the go brr.airbrushing should be fine, as its just blowing normal paint with air.
>>97741551Yeah, most acrylics lack solvents strong enough to melt foam.As other have mentioned, a good coat of mod podge (or thinned down PVA, nearly identical, really) and you can spray liberally. It's always good to test on some leftovers just to be safe, though.

>>97715456What's funny is that they created the metric system and the french calendar during the revolution as part of a radical dechristianization and decimalization of society. They went back to the Christian Gregorian Calendar after Napoleon because the decimal calendar was so ass retarded, but for some reason the metric system stuck, and eurofaggots to this day think they are superior because they are using some shit that was spontaneously made up by some edgy atheists that just hated God and their own history LMAO
>>97752079at least your kids gets some metric through their heads
>>97752079As someone in the UK so having grown up with both Imperial and Metric.The metric system is brilliant. 1 ml of water weighs 1 gram and takes up 1 cm^3 of space, One small calorie raises one gram of water 1°C. One Kcal raises 1 Liter of water 1°C.1 Newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate one kilogram 1m/s2You are probably too stupid to need any of this, but for the rest of us it's handy.
>>97755203There's a reason nasa does everything in metric
>>97755239
>>97750957Thanks, fun game too even if I got some of the rules wrong. Easy to find scenery for too since most fantasy/medieval stuff works
>>97752079Just because the historical equivalente of retarded commies are too retarded to implement something does not mean the rest of the world has to suffer.I mean we are still suffering the consequence of nuclear power fear, because the commies are absolute retards and can't boil water.

>>97757694Yeah it was a good idea. I've got a bunch of those from over the years saved.
>>97752718How was your Ramadan brother?
>>97759161Terrible, my wife fell asleep from exhaustion and burnt the nightly pig-out, so I had to beat her with a belt in front of my extended family to restore my Izzat.
>>97709587Terrain threads make me a little sad, I loved making scenery as a kid, space base, country train set, fantasy dungeon castle whatever, I was pretty good at it considering I only had access to whatever I could find in my dad's shed, Warhammer came out and I though hell yes this is for me, managed to get to the city and was a bit disappointed I couldn't afford anything in the shop. Put it all behind me and started working for the man building real things but it sucked, not as fun as building scenery, over the years I did get a few pieces, painted them up but never played it, now and then go into a place and all the people are smelly and nerdy, last time there was a proper tard pissing himself in the shop. So never went back, I hoped my son would have a go at it but he never was interested.
>>97761012Same minus the son and the career.>Be pensioned off straight outta school for "Behavioural problems" and "Trauma">Figure I have all the free time in the world to indulge in hobbies>Go to FLGS>It's full of people who make me look and feel normal by comparison>None of them can make eye-contact or sustain a conversation>Get the impression that these grown men are waiting for their mothers to pick them up>Buy some overpriced basing material, make small talk with the proprietor and leave
>>97761178>>97761012Build a dungeon for HeroQuest, it looks great and it is a great game to get family and friends in.
>>97762297I was actually building for Rangers of Shadowdeep for that very reason.It's not much more complicated than Heroquest.However.All my friends are going away or already gone, off to better things, and I no longer know who or what I am building for.But the building soothes me.It lets me pretend I did something meaningful.Gives me something to dream about.I tried playing a solo game once.It felt empty.I think the next hill I make, I should put a chalk drawing on the side.Like the White Horse at Uffington, or the Cerne-Abbas giant.
>>97709392squares are shit, for natural looking rivers and such thingsbut there's a problem with that number of tiles, in the picif you want to do rolling roads, best is to have an integer number of tile sides on each table sidethat way, you can make the road roll easily by removing the last tiles, moving all others forward, and add the same number of tiles on the other endthere are 18 2x1 tiles, on that board, for a board aspect ratio of 7x5, so you can't have an integer number of tiles on each table side12 2x1 tiles, for a board aspect ratio of, say, 6x4 would work better for what I'm talking about
