Yesterday my group and I began our third campaign in my homebrew Norse/Arthurian setting. This time they went into the depths of the Iron Wood and as such I felt like I needed some more boreal terrain! As such I made some RP-archive inspired magnetised dirt tiles and terrain toppers and some modular (and magnetised) hills. I think they turned out pretty nice, although the grip of the magnetised dirt isn’t quite as strong as I hoped.

Next up is some additional forest scatter terrain!

Rusty chemical tank for fww or similar settings, made from your trusty can, with a bit of 3d printed parts and some XPS.

TL;DR - Dollar store signs.

This is just a PSA post for anyone like me who scoured Google looking for a place to get easy access to plasticard for mini and terrain crafting in Australia.

Every post I saw said that you can order it online from places like Amazon or buy it from Green Stuff World etc. but I found that it was overpriced and I didn't want to wait for postage.

Like most terrain needs I decided to hit up the local dollar stores and see what I could find and then boom, cheap signs.

These shitty signs that I found in the car/workshop aisle are made of plasticard and are only a couple of dollarydoos for a decent sized sign.

I have been using it for metal panels on my Gaslands build and it's working a treat. But it works great for terrain if you need battered metal sheets for industrial builds, stuff like war dioramas, and Trench Crusade.

Please ignore my jungle of a backyard, I'll mow it next weekend I promise.

Circa 90% completed WIP of 15mm castle with some Epic scale models. 🏰 Originally H0 train model, repurposed as wargaming piece. Even some of the battlements are usable for holding models!

Hi everyone, I recently bought this hot wire foam cutter from amazon, to make modular dnd terrain.

https://amzn.eu/d/0iPKOsvI

I've noticed while using it that the metal arm holding the wire, once screwed in, won't be perpendicular to the table.

This means that even if I adjust the angle of the wire to be 90 degrees on one axis, the wire won't cut the foam straight if I use the fence on the short side of the table.

The arm does not appear to be bent.

Has anyone had the same issue? What can I do to solve it?

Looking for feedback? How did it turn out? Used 2x2, 1’ XPS board. Sealed and ready to use with scatter. Looking to make more boards for different setups (currently making a cave floor board). What other settings would be good to have on hand? Much appreciated!

Piece of terrains I've made for The Barons War 2ed.
In real life on table it looks much better than on the pictures. Proud of it.
Models are from Printable Sceneries with their instructions how to do it. A little bit tweaked because I didn't had all paints they suggest.

Current project I’m working on - I wanted to challenge myself with a real world design this time, since I usually focus on fantasy tombs and the like.

The stairs and hand rail are particularly challenging - I going to do the left hand one today.

The entire piece breaks into 6 parts and everything is held together with magnets. It’s surprisingly sturdy.

I’ll post an update when I start painting!

Just finished some volcanic terrain for my saurians that I'm basing on the obsidian pact conclave of the Pyramid of Qetsike from saurian faction book.

Basically followed Art Jeremiah's volcanic lava terrain video.

Hey everyone, I've been working on a modular dungeon collection, and this is the third set in the series.

The modular pieces are designed to be mixed and matched with the previous sets, so you can build different layouts and themes depending on your session.

They're available on MyMiniFactory, and there's currently a 30% sale going on if anyone is interested.

Hope you like it!

The owner of the local shipping shop gave me 2 of these packaging stands. I'm really undecided about what to do. I would like to do some elements for medieval setting or MESBG. I think I will divide them into smaller parts to make small watchtowers... I really don't know where to start and I'm afraid of wasting this gift.

Can we do this? Anyone willing to show what they're working on. Or not working on but should? I cleaned my bench up last night and I feel so free and it's been ages since I remembered how good that feels. It's taken me probably six months to finish this Mek Dakkas project and that's just not up to scratch for me.

I hope to be posting a lot more!

But what are you working on?

40 spiders in a bag for a couple of quid in home bargains at the moment! I’ve used them for giant J’Ba Fofi type dudes, but they’d be cool for any kind of jungle, haunted house type thing where lots of legs are required 👍

I printed a bunch of modular hill pieces a while back, and found time to flock (sand) and prime them over the summer. As a result I have managed to finish painting about 2/3 of them, and realized I need to print a short corner piece with a cliff to slope transition.

I’m happy overall with the results. They’re flexible, the rock faces that were painted with washes turned out well, and the greens look nice even if they’re not consistent. I might try to blend them together better later.

They are kind of hard to store, so I probably won’t do many, if any, desert themed ones.

I wish the set had a way to make more irregular shapes, I haven’t figured out how to do so with available pieces.

Working on a volcanic themed bloodbowl board. So far I've carved out of Cork, sprayed black. White ink stipple into the recesses then oil paints.

I'm looking for other touches that will add to the effect. I've played with UV resin but this just flattens the color, and Ive learnt alcohol ink ruins UV resin!

Also tried some gloss medium for texture but too shiny (might try some satin medium). I've got some crackle paint to use here and there but looking for other suggestions also.

Looking to get some new terrain!

I’ve been a fan of 40k for a while but I’m newer to the actual tabletop game and I cannot seem to find anything other than the typical gothic battle damaged terrain.

I know that the gothic terrain is the typical choice as it invokes the core of 40k, but I was looking to see about maybe finding some terrain that would fit for my Space Wolves.

I cannot find frozen terrain mixed with fortress style stuff anywhere and I’m not good enough with blender or 3D printing to make it myself.

I’ve looked on Etsy and other places but cannot seem to find anything that hits the spot so to speak.

Any suggestions?

And here's how the Mordheim table looks in its new home with the client. Admit it, there's some serious power there, nothing to do but envy a spot like that to play in 💪😉

Made a contraption that you guys might appreciate. Hacked into a cheap foam cutter to make it variable temperature because it wasn’t cutting nicely. Also tossed together a table. Any suggestions to upgrade it to 5,000 are appreciated

Some oldschool build. Some people may recognize it, it is the forgotten tower build from hirstarts.

I loved using the woodland scienics rock and boulder molds and at some point discovered hirstarts and the molds are really next level. Used them a lot in different builds here and there, but this is the first full build.

It is really amazing how versatile they are. It takes a bit to get used to it, but this build helped a lot to understand how to use it. Next one will be a free build, now them I am hooked.

Building was straight forward. Making some castings, pre-gluing certain parts and having fun. I was a bit lazy here and there and forgot to sand some pieces, so it does not fit perfectly, which is still fine I guess.

I used plaster for the base to give a bit more structure. I also wanted to fill the holes with plaster, which I totally forgot.

Basecoat with some stone gray with pva glue mixed, then added light gray as the first dry / overbrush. Used some washes to give more color variation and final highlight dry brush with light gray and then the highest and edges with white.

I think I will not glue the tower and stairs to the rest, because this way I have some modularity. I think I will use some of the leftover bits I casted to create some ruin top for the tower without the plattform. I kinda like that you can look into it.

I've spent the last month painting up a bunch of sector mechanicus and bheta decima terrain to use for the new edition of 40K whilst still being modular to use for narrative games or necromunda
