My first wooden floor!

It's for D&D so the grid, the light s*cks, sorry, but atleast the colour is that!

Any advice is welcome!

More Brutalist 6 mm Alpha Strike Buildings

This is my improved version of the building I posted about 2 weeks ago, along with variations.

These are still designed to match the Alpha Strike cardstock proportions. I'm trying to make them semi-modular where the tops, middles, and bottoms can be mixed and matched, though I have no extra versions of the latter. They are designed to print without supports.

Turned a cheap Tehnolog toy soldier into an Imperial statue

This is a 54mm figure from the Russian toy manufacturer Tehnolog, mostly known for very cheap plastic sets and some great terrain kits like their chemical plant. The scale is awkward for regular gaming miniatures, but it works perfectly for statues and monuments. The whole build and paintjob took less than an hour, and now I have a quick piece of scatter terrain for an Imperial table.

Has anyone experimented with concealing a Bluetooth Speaker in a terrain piece?

Hello all,

I have recently been working on a set of Trench Crusade terrain (to prepare for the new narrative campaign) and I have had an idea rolling around my brain for a little while. My group tends to listen to music while we play, and I think a little radio tower with a bluetooth speaker hidden in the base would be a neat thing to include.

Has anyone experimented with something like this? I'm struggling to figure out how to make it work. Thanks!

Best way to mark squares and lines on a custom game board?

As the title says, I’m making a custom sandy Blood Bowl pitch (think desert/beach), and I’m looking for the best way to mark my squares and lines.

I plan on glueing very fine sand to the board and giving it a layer of mod podge or similar product to seal the sand in and smooth the surface to avoid scratching the paint off prone minis and balls, but I’m not sure what the best way to have everything marked afterwards is.

Should I pin small crosses and beams to the pitch before covering it with sand or hand paint everything? Or do you have a reliable way to mark the board with thin lines of darker sand? Or anything else I’m missing?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Da Mighty F-Ork-Tress

I have many boxes of terrain, and many ideas, and unfinished projects.

Based on a template I made off the old GW "Mighty Fortress" proportions years ago - but never liked the 'cyber grunge' attempt I made. I stripped it back. Added some Octarius bits. Then added all sorts of greebles, pva/paper, pva/sand.

I'm proper chuffed with the result.

Overgrown silo for WH40K / Killteam

Just finished off this MDF kit from TTCombat and wanted to share - first time painting an MDF terrain piece and really enjoyed the process!

Painted it up to match some existing plastic GW terrain I've done previously, and I'm pretty pleased with the result. A few work in progress photos included as well.

I'm slowly battling my inner lazy demons and getting work on this done. We are kind of close to spraying this if I'm honest. Keen!

The cactus are kind of basic but I think it adds to the orky charm of everything going on here.

I'm still unsure if they make food or weapons. I've been calling it mek dakkas but there's very little weapons around and I spend ages making foam clay "meat" that I could throw around.

Plasticard Diamond plate - GSW alternatives

HI folks,

Anyone have any alternative to Green Stuff World's Plasticard - Thread DIAMOND 1mm Textured Sheet?

I have a couple of sheets, and the texture is great, but it's:

a) expensive (~$8AUD per sheet)
b) coming a long way (Europe to Aus)

and most damming

c) irregular in width (up to 5 mm variance)

Also, best method to adhere plasticard to plywood?

I'm planning to cover a 3ft by 3ft ply playing surface with it.

I Upgraded My 3D Printed Dungeon Tiles

I created a set of modular dungeon tiles last year and after getting a lot of great feedback, I decided to revise them with new magnet holes, water tiles, stairways, ritual circles, and ruin segments. They are designed by me in Blender and printed out in FDM. If you're interested in seeing my process and methods for designing and painting them there's a YouTube video:

What would go along nicely with plain old earth texture?

I am very much a begginer and I struggle to come up with ideas for something to add to my AK Dark Earth to make it look less... bland? I don't need much, just some terrain to put an artillery piece in, but I've been wondering if something better can be achieved idk, like grass or rocks or something...?

Also, if someone could tell me what's the deal with PVA glue? Every terrain video I can find on YT is using that stuff, how is better than anything else
