City Fight board / terrain WIP thing - 40K Terra

Krom_stormbrow · 2 Weeks Ago

Ok folks

After a long absence and minor posting on the site, little modelling / painting action and next to no scenery building (Except for the large castle I call home), I have decided to post pics to follow the story of how my city fight board came into existence.

This is Work In Progress. It will come in dribs and drabs (too many real life things to organise and prioritse) but I plan for you all to come on my roller coaster ride of cutting, glueing, fume inhalation, styrene melting, posing, grinding and texturing.

Here are a few pics to get you started:

The Sanctum Imperialis... More done to it since, so need to get a piccy of the back

And the Basilica administratum... This bad boy is huge... I need at least another two kits to complete it!

And with FW vinnie for scale

More will come this week.

Mart007 · 2 Weeks Ago

You need pics of the wreckage we built!!

looks ok.

Drax · 2 Weeks Ago

so not only have you not creditted me for the Sanctum - you have carried on with it without me to boot!

how is the board itself progressing?

Krom_stormbrow · 2 Weeks Ago

... you shall eceive partial credit, but seeing as i had to construt the most god danged difficult balcony... I claim majority.

I'll take pics tomorrow

Baron von Lexus · 2 Weeks Ago

Ya that balcony is a major pain to get set up right. Nice work on the big Basilica.

Templar Mikeel · 2 Weeks Ago

Looks good. Planning on adding any ruined bits?

Rellik · 2 Weeks Ago

wow looks really good.

Krom_stormbrow · 2 Weeks Ago

Yep... the ruined sections are round the back... I'll et pics tonight for you all... including some of the other buildings.

Rellik · 2 Weeks Ago

how much buildings will there be?

Krom_stormbrow · 2 Weeks Ago

Muchos Grandos sir.

These are just two.

There is a factory, a whole range of ruined stuff from polysytrene and some plain looking administratum buildings to date.

I'll start adding more and mre as I go, the initial target is to get enough for myself, Mart007 and Drax to be able to rumble on an 8x4 with a dense terrain set up.

oh very cool!

hairyyahoo · 2 Weeks Ago

hmmm...i might just have to truck on up to york at some point

between your table and mart's board it seems like there's some pretty good gaming to be had up north

Krom_stormbrow · 2 Weeks Ago

Ya bleeding well should sirree... Make it summer and I'll throw a bbq

The tour of duty an' all that

*edit*

Pics

Rear of the sanctum

And rear of the Basilica

The sanctum needs the texturing and some more detailing and it'll be ready to be painted.

Mart007 · 2 Weeks Ago

You need to get a move on with these, we need city terrain for our up and coming campaign. Looks fine.

Sir_Servo · 2 Weeks Ago

I totally feel the pain on assembeling those things. I was in charge of constructing two fo the huge city scapes when they first came out a few years ago. I think it took a good month to get all the access glue out from under my finger nails. I had an assorted number of people attempt to help me, but after ataching just a wall or two they were like F$%# this and they left me to do my dirty work.

The buildings hold strong though I just visited my old stomping grounds and played in a tournament and it warmed my heart to see all my hard work still in use.

Krom_stormbrow · 2 Weeks Ago

They are a pain in the royal ass.

Though the pain is worth t in the end... I am annoyed that I went the size I have with the basilica... It's now going to be constructed of roughly 5 - 6 basilica kits

what campaign?

and Hairy - better make it a long trip - we are currently averaging 1 game a quarter!

Mart007 · 2 Weeks Ago

Well as you have negelcted the original one, I have been dabbling myself!

Drax · 2 Weeks Ago

Good Grief Martin, i didn't realise you could be so creative - no really.

and i didn't neglect it, we just didn't look to be getting anywhere near it.

anyway - that Sanctum is looking good krom, i shall let you off on it now

Mart007 · 2 Weeks Ago

You'd be suprised, and its gonna be a goodern as well!

Rellik · 2 Weeks Ago

new pics look awesome! bought me a building once, lol ive got 3 wall sections glued and painted lol thats it.

precinctomega · 2 Weeks Ago

If you want to come North and actually get a game, then I think it's me you need to be seeing. Krom and Mart spend a lot of time posing with their sexy new purchases and talking up their gaming prowess, but some of us are actually turning up to a club once a week and rolling some dice!

Warmaster Romulas · 2 Weeks Ago

keep us posted on your developments

Drax · 2 Weeks Ago

though they are planning an apoc battle on the weekend - if mart gets his permission slip signed at any rate
