Showcase: Terrain, Scenery, and Fortifications

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Finally ground out a large project - I gave my ork player friend the ork terrain from the killteam box and painted it up along with 6 old resin baracades he had.

 

The oil derrik:

 

The blue and the red are his army's colours, which is why they feature so prominantly on the pieces.

 

The smaller of the ork ruins - there are two of them in the box and I thought it made sense to photo them side by side to show how I mixed up where the colours were to make them look different.  Front:

 

The larger ruin piece:

 

The little raised platforms - getting the legs to stay on these is a real challenge.

 

The junk piles:

 

The wooden bridges:

 

The large barricades:

 

The small barricades/cover pieces - wanted each to be a bit different because, well, that's orky:

 

And finally the 6 resin barricades, both the fronts and backs:

 

 

 

And finally, all of it together:

My ultimate addition: 2 buildings made out of from the Sanctum Administratus set. 

The first one is built almost as the Derelict Manufactorum (I am still working on Sacristan Forgeshrine to get a reactor to be added on the structure)

The second one is built with what remain.

 

They can be set in series, to define a kind of long hall building (not shown), separatly (the 2 first pics) or joined in order to get a good center piece with a 3 x 4 modules size (perfect fo KT).

 

 

All remain coherent with the manufactorum paint scheme I applied on all the kits I have. I guess I have more than enough for a good city fight table now...

Havent noticed there was a terrain showcase so here is all mine! Ill post my DIY boarding action next time Im using it hopefully if I remember to take som pictures

 

Mix of GW stuff, MDF, some DIY and some 3d printed stuff

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Dr_Ruminahui]

That's some fine looking terrain you've got there - I particularly like the Nachimund terrain and the food truck.

[mughi3]

Got some new stuff done-3d printed necron ruins from sacrusmundus (not the stores center monolith i can't claim credit for that monster)

 

 

 

[gideon stargreave]

The good ship Venus. Made from bits of trash and stuff from the pound shop. 

[Corswain]

Not sure if this counts for the showcase when it's only the first of six but I picked up a shattered dominion board for very cheap and got the first "trial tile" finished.

 

After de-Sigmaring it a bit, getting rid of some of the crevices and adding some texture paint in places for variety, I painted the whole thing with spray cans and a drybrush. Very happy with the result.

 

Various people out there have done similar colour schemes so thank you to them for inspiration.

Since these were the first things I've completed in years, I figured I'd repost them here. First time in the Hall of Honour! Woot!

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

They look good. I like the subtle weathering representing water dragging dirt down the panels

[Corswain]

Really nice. I have a box of the containers around somewhere that I need to get around to. Never been real sure what to do with them but you might have just given me the motivation to get started.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

You should - they are pretty quick to paint, and look great just like @bloodhound23's with just a bit of weathering.  Its really the weathering that makes the models, in my opinion - certainly that's how I feel about my own.

[bloodhound23]

Thanks, all. Yeah as per @Dr_Ruminahui, the trick was to dry brush the base layers then get right to weathering in no time. I used the Tale of Painters recipe for these, but on more bare weathered metal bits I’ve also used Sonic Sledgehammer’s recipe for Martian terrain to great effect. Very fast via minimal dry brushing over a primed basecoat.

[Corswain]

Thanks, I'll be having a look at both those but the Martian theme is obviously going to be a strong contender for my board. 

[Bouargh]

Some test models for Ryza pattern STC bunkers:

 

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Those look really good - enough colour and detail to make them interest without making them stand out.

[Master Ciaphas]

Hail!

 

Well - I have been spending the majority of my available hobby time this year, working on a W40k 2nd terrain set :-D Here is what I have finished to date!

Space Shelters

 

Xenoflora cactii

 

Rock hills

 

Rock hill with pond

 

Jungle trees (yeah, 3rd ed, I know...but close enough!)

 

Cheers!

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Those look great - I particularly like your quonset style huts.

[Corswain]

Love the Oldhammer scenery. Been considering making some myself but I'm trying to be disciplined about finishing old projects first.

 

Please keep us posted with any more that you do.

[bloodhound23]

There’s great stuff in here- especially the older and scratch built stuff.

Terrain certainly scratches a special sort of itch, doesn’t it?

 

Keep ‘em coming! This thread is giving me motivation.

 

Thanks everyone.

Hail!

So - I finished my DIY Space Ork favala mud hut - intended for use in my upcoming games of W40k 2nd ed :-D

 

 

 

 

 

It was great fun to build and paint - and I am inclined to do another, one story, some time later this year.

 

Kindly,

Master Ciaphas

[Firedrake Cordova]

It looks great - the degraded "stucco" and the rough chequering definitely lend it an orky character  

 

The debris around the is a nice detail

[Master Ciaphas]

Thank you, Firedrake! Much appreciated!

 

I have since finised another two pieces of 2nd ed terrain. This time: corner ruins!

 

 

 

And a comparison with the OG card corner ruins:

 

 

Cheers!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Ooh, very nice - I love the "3Dification" of the original card terrain  

 

I like how you've done the internal paving, with weeds growing between the slabs, etc

[Anon]

@Master Ciaphas

I love your old school style terrain. It makes me go back in time. I remember the White Dwarf that had the ork hut manual.

 

How did you do the space cactii and space shelter?
