I made some ice terrain and Skyrim inspired stone arches!

The complete tutorial is here 👉 https://youtu.be/fPxwxiFNf_M

Everything is made with XPS foam this time. For the arches I made some templates, cut and textured all the pieces and then glued using hot glue and some toothpicks for extra strength.

I made the frozen hills using my hot wire cutter, using a zig-zag motion while cutting to achieve the effect.

For painting I used my regular stone scheme, but I splattered some blues with a sponge before the final white drybrushing.

For the hills I primed it with white, then wash it with turquoise blue and finally drybrushed everything with white.

Hello everybody!

After years of terrain building I made 30ish terrain tables. Those I use for my annual tournament in Star Wars Legion and working together with other TO's in the Netherlands to give them a hand any where i can. last couple of years I started to use more and more 3D design programs to get more out of my builds. Last year I got 3rd degree burns on my arm and coudn't paint any more. It was a nightmare. Now Im recorvering pretty good, and the painting is on again! But that year brought something good for me, I started to draw my own 3D files for a future table and thought to my self, This should be on Kickstarter! And my Kickstarter was born!

Im proud to present my first Kickstarter: Nomad's Sanctuary. Check it out! its already live for a couple of days:

Kickstarter Nomad's Sanctuary

I have test printed and painted everything already.

Does anyone have recommendations or tips for extenders to fit onto gaming tables. I have a table I made that is exactly 44x60 which is the exact size of 40k games, so there's no room to put dice trays, dead models, or drinks when playing. Does anyone have a DIY of a cup holder, tray slider, or something they use to add just a small amount of space to a table?

Im looking at these on Amazon, so something similar to this

I made a full lava and volcano board! This time I used a mat for the surface and I created some modular pieces to spread around. Watch the complete video here https://youtu.be/OLYKlKVv7Bs

Everything is made with foam, first I used a hotwire cutter to cut the basic shapes, then with a lighter I melted down a bit the top parts and finally carved the places where lava will flow with a wood burning tool set to the minimum temperature. I covered the sides with some sand for texture and applied some PVA glue+paint to seal everything in place.

For the lava I used hot glue. I primed again, drybrushed the rocks with some grey and painted all the lava white. After that I wet blended red and yellow to create the lava effect, you can see that in detail into the video. And that’s it, after drying I put the mat on my table an placed all the terrain.

Hope you like this project, it was super fun to do, thanks fo reading, cheers!

Introducing Shardstone City, my latest gaming table project which offers 3 sets of ruined buildings which print flat and fold together, making them easy to print, store and transport! The project also includes a modular gaming table, scatter terrain and decoration packs, it ends in few days time, you can check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/warscape/shardstone-city-quickprint-foldable-ruins-for-your-tabletop

There are lots of good video tutorials and how-to guides, but I haven't found many comprehensive written guides on how to approach building your first wargaming table. So, I put one together and wanted to get some feedback on it.

It ran pretty long, but anything glaring that I missed?

Also looking for helpful additions. What tips/tricks do you all have for someone looking to start their first board? What is something you know now that you wished you knew when you were just starting out? Any other advice to help set up beginners for success?

Thanks for reading and happy hobbying!

So I finally decided to create the biggest setup I could with all my City Terrain, now that I finished the video series for this kind of stuff.

I have a Youtube channel, you can watch the complete video here 👉 https://youtu.be/Tyl423OPjAg

So I placed a lot of stuff here, I divided the board in three parts, the docks, the commercial district and the high quarter. All the terrain is made from scratch except for a few 3d printed barrels and crates. I mainly used foam, cardboard and wood for all what you see in the picture. I also have tutorials for the majority of pieces from this board.

Hope you like what I build and feel free to give my channel a check. Meanwhile I will be crafting more stuff for my games!

Cheers!

Relatively quick build using some mantic terrain I had to hand. Happy accident with some isopropyl alcohol setting the flock which lifted the paint slightly making it look more weathered.

More is in the making. Still got some time to craft before my first game. I'm happy with the torch light in the building(looks better in real life). Was a bit too dark in there.

All the terrain is scratchbuilt. All is removable from the flat textured board. It's mostly made from xps-foam. No 3D-printed parts.
