r/TerrainBuilding

We run terrain Kickstarters and want future ones built around what people actually want instead of guessing.

We’ve put together some questions about the terrain types and features you care about most.

Answer them and you’ll instantly get the Ritual Grove STL files. Link in the comments.

Here is the video of the board being setup.

I have an idea for another building for my planet: a Maglev line. However, I need some help. As someone not entirely familiar with the game mechanics, I’m wondering which approach is better: just a single terrain piece (a section of track plus a wrecked carriage), or—as shown on the map I’ve included—creating a full-length track (with gaps) and using magnets on cart that I can freely move around the map? I’d like to know how this would work in terms of *Kill Team* and *Necromunda*, as well as your thoughts on the concept and aesthetics. Finally, last pic is a photo of the terrain pieces I’ve already built.

Thanks for the help!

Pyramid is 2" XPS foam with XPS foam bricks. The steps are made from 4-8" long sections that can be used as risers or to build a smaller pyramid (I'm a sucker for modularity). The central pit pieces were leftover from a tower project I made last year; I just had to use them for something like this. The pit is 6" diameter and 6" deep and the very top can be removed and replaced with a flat 8"x 8" square tile that makes the top of the pyramid into a flat surface, concealing the pit underneath (that way we can play a normal step-pyramid scenario)

---------

The Scenario: "The Zany Ziggurat"
1 treasure token placed at the top of the pit per player, 1 other treasure per player placed elsewhere around the board.
Pushing a figure into the pit automatically reduces the figure to 0 health and gains bonuses for the push-er:

wizard/apprentice: -1 TN to casting rolls
soldiers/NPCs: +1 to Fight rolls

the first time a figure is pushed in, an imp spawns on a random table edge
the second time a figure is pushed in, a minor demon spawns on a random table edge
the third time a figure is pushed in, a major demon spawns on a random table edge and the central treasure token spawns at a the edge of the pit where the figure fell in.

Any figure that is pushed (losing a combat, 'push' spell, etc) while standing on the top level of the pyramid is automatically pushed into the pit.

+50xp if a figure is pushed into the pyramid
+50xp if the wizard stands on the top level of the pyramid
+30xp if the apprentice stands on the top level of the pyramid

We just made this up on the fly, so it's by no means balanced, but it was a blast!

DM asked for a hide hut, so I used my favorite medium. Used coffee filters! Seen here with two lizardfolk. One from 1980s and today.

Done

Bonus: close up shots and scratchbuilt terrain

30 ships & 250 vikings in this 10mm scale diorama depicting the Battle of Niså, an insane naval battle year 1062 between Norwegian warrior king Harald Hardrada and Danish king Svein Estridsen, here outside our Swedish west coast. It's also a unique tabletop Wargame with complete rules 🔥

We made this as a colab art project between myself, a game designer and an illustrator. I will gladly post more on this if people are interested. Have plenty of material on how we made everything! First draft of the game exists in just this one unique copy, and is currently in Swedish but we're planning on a translation soon💫

All feedback as always very appreciated🙏

This is my modular terrain printed with fdm from Fabricator's Lair

So my wife and I have begun play-testing my new mini/setting agnostic skirmish war game WARSHARD. I have used both terrain I have scratch built as well as 3d printed terrain. We have played 2 games so far and have been extremely pleased with the results. Our play-testing will be extensive as there are multiple ways to play the game. I have some pics attached and am thinking about possibly doing a battle report for the game. There will be additional changes and corrections as the testing continues but I seem to have been able to recreate a really solid game. If you guys would be interested in a battle report let me know in the comments.

Experimenting with a new to me way to make ladders from five mesh granny grating and popsicle sticks

Last night's game of a Chain of Command, from Jasper's scenario in the latest WSS Magazine where British paratroops hold the Oosterbeek Perimeter against strong German attacks supported by a King Tiger!

I'm 80% done with my next 1:24 scale truck diorama. Needs the tracks, bridge and signs to complete the scene. Then the truck will be added, after I receive the parts needed for completion. Hope ya'll like how it looks, so far. The final look of the diorama will look more complete and give the reason for this exact scene. So stay tuned.

Been painting my sf terrain both gw and prints, pictured above are the prints I tested the color scheme on. Pretty happy with the results C&C welcome
The computer is seven united sci-fi machines from thingiverse was probably my favorite to paint so far
