Today I decided to showcase my terrain. This terrain was lovingly handmade by myself, Mike and Nick (Edinburghs [elg] terrain specialist). We wanted terrain that was durable, cheap, fun to play games on and that would match our exisiting armies. It took us a lot of hardwork and a number of evenings after work to complete, but the finished product, in my opinion, was worth it.
The board is made up for 3 pieces of MDF that fit together to make a 6x4 foot board. All of the terrain is mounted on MDF and has been textured using sand and rubble.
Here is a picture of the board just before a battle:
My favourite piece of terrain is the ruined rhino. This provides an excellent hiding place for grotz, and also fits in well with the over grown jungle theme. Mike plays Ravenguard, so it seemed fitting the tank was painted in their colours.
I also really enjoyed painting the homemade landing pad:
A piece of terrain that required a bit of effort is the watch tower made from Aegis Defence Line bitz and Necromunda bulk heads. I also used the flat surface as an excuse for freehand:
We wanted the terrain to look industrial, while making it as cheap to make as possible. As a result, we made energy towers using old bits of pipes and hot chocolate tins (the lootaz are ready to fire!):
But to represent the fact this place is overgrown and a previous warzone we made sure to include craters and wreckage (this piece still needs water effects added):
Here is a photo of my Deffdread amongst the terrain:
And a loota hiding on a hill:
And two kit bashed lootas in front of a Aegis Defence Line mini bit of terrain:
And finally, on all of the big terrain pieces we scattered small details, to make the battlefield look more realistic and used. Here is an example:
Thats all for now, hope you've enjoyed my terrain showcase. I'm hoping to finish a Snakebite clan within the next week or so, so keep your eyes peeled for updates on that!
More soon!
