robnik_35 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I wanted to have a set of mountainous ground, and this is my first piece of the bunch. I carved it out of foam, drybrshed it up, then added flocking, ground cover and some vines. I wasn't sure whether to go with snow up top, or leave the whole thing bare, but here it is. http://www.weebly.com/uploads/2/7/1/5/2715769/5806570.jpg http://www.weebly.com/uploads/2/7/1/5/2715769/8248419.jpg http://www.weebly.com/uploads/2/7/1/5/2715769/2469732.jpg Red Dragon Terrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0MMY Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I like this a lot. The cliffs look good - although there doesn't seem to be much space for a whole squad of IG or ork boyz (for example) to stand up there. Does the tunnel come out the other side, i.e. can you take a squad / tank through it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicCreations Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I quite like it, my only query is the Tunnel, it just looks too plain...you've got these nice cliffs and rocks, and then a simple white tunnel, perhaps something around the edges to make it blend into the wall, and maybe some washes and drybrushing to make it fit in more but other than that well done ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Looks good. Unfortunately, since its not power armor related, the mods will probably be shutting this down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Looks good.Unfortunately, since its not power armor related, the mods will probably be shutting this down. Take another picture of it with a space marine. I don't think it matters anyway, it's 40k terrain. I like t, but the tunnel entrance looks sort of plain and out of place. I'm not sure, but it looks like unpainted plastic. But the rest is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Looks good.Unfortunately, since its not power armor related, the mods will probably be shutting this down. terrain is considered to be neutral, i made a whole topic just for terrain.

Shadow Nugz Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 How about Mount Doomspiral Death? Too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loken of the 10th Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 How about Mount Doomspiral Death? Too much? I think so..... My votes for Mt. Come near me I'll blow your head off or Mt CNMIBYO for short. But a very nice piece of terrain although some damage to the rocks would be nice but thats the only thing.... unless its a fresh battlefield!!!!!! To arms my Brothers Defend the Mountain!!!!!!!!

KJB Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Really well done piece of terrain, my only comment would be that it looks a bit more Warhammer than Warhammer 40k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnik_35 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Nobody has mentioned how much it looks like a piece of miniature golf scenery. It did start out tlike that though, as a friend's company was having an indoor game and he asked for a mountain to shoot through. I made one and liked the look, so I copied it and laid down some greenery. I'd never made a mountain before, so this was a good chance to get some ideas. I enjoy my 40K games in the theme of Dan Abnetts style, with a lot of familiar environments blended in with futuristic influences. The Hirst molds I use have a lot of Gothic style bricks as well as sci fi pieces, so there's a lot to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Bear Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Let me start by saying I like it. It looks very nice. The tunnel makes it look like they brought material in to build the tunnel instead of just using the rock they pulled out. To me that is one of those small details that make it more realistic. The thing is it looks more like a scenery piece than a playing piece. What I mean is there doesn't seem to be a lot of flat space for models to be set up, making most of it seem to qualify for impassible terrain. Something like this is what I would use when taking pictures of miniatures to make the shot look much more dynamic. We have the same problem here. There is an amazing modeler who makes gorgeous terrain. His ingenuity and painting skills are phenomenal; heck he created the brass-scorpion. The problem is a lot of it is simply hard to play with and on, especially with metal models. But it is amazing, and good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
