Frater Cornelius Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It's too white for me. I prefer to have a bit of green thrown in there like this: http://www.bestourism.com/img/items/big/990/The-Rockies_Rocky-Mountains-view_6617.jpg http://www.torockymountains.com/photos/canadian-rocky-mountains-big.jpg My personal opinion aside though, looks very good. I nice change from all those Urban and Desert maps you usually find at my store (I try to get the icy table every time I am there). I would like to see an aerial few of the whole thing though.

spjaco Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I like it. The blue color makes it look like it is late evening or eternal twilight or something along those lines. Impressive.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Frontline gaming has put out a 6x4 mat that these bits would look great on!! It's a snowy wonderland of killing your opponents!! The site seems to be bugging out, otherwise I would post a linky...

WG Vrox Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 I have see that mat and I almost purchased it, I agree though it will work nicely and will not collect dirt and stains like the felt I have now, but oh well. Here is an aerial shot with the additional pieces I finished, threw in some more models for scale. Green contrast from trees and rock pieces should help. The snow covered pieces do not show it well, but they are more crystal like structures than ice. Still have about 6 pieces to go, so back to work. Lighting is funky in that room and dealing with white is always a pain because of glare.

Frater Cornelius Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I just felt a tremor in the Warp. It is the Emperor. He approved this.

hardimanm Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Very nice. Great color. The blue breaks up the stark white and provides great depth.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Love that terrain and I have one of those front line mats they are gorgeous. I highly recommend picking one up.

WG Vrox Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Finished another couple pieces, didn't get as far as I wanted but I did take a picture with different light so the color is better represented. This one is to help show off the sparkles. yes thats right I have sparkles in my terrain....

Frater Cornelius Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 A little off-topic: the fire on the rocket is a nice touch, but it looks to even and clean. If looking at it far away it looks like a very stylish Missile launcher, not like fire :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296622-winter-planet-new-sw-terrain-wip/#findComment-3808025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody needs to photoshop an image of the Emperor showing a thumbs up with the phrase I APPROVED THIS MESSAGE, LOL A little off-topic: the fire on the rocket is a nice touch, but it looks to even and clean. If looking at it far away it looks like a very stylish Missile launcher, not like fire I think that rocket flame is a bought item, that is why it is so clean, mass production. If not, that is an awesome job. Even if it is store bought then it still looks awesome.

WG Vrox Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 That model was my first attempt at using Green Stuff, could have been a little more irregular like flame, but 40k years from now they have solid fuel scientifically calculated down to the last granular particle, not a single plume of wasted energy would be allowed, thus a perfect cone of thrust. :) . I am pretty much done with the table will post some pictures later today.

WG Vrox Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 So here is the full table with my army in force. Just fyi if you come over for a game, there are no food or drinks allowed on the table :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296622-winter-planet-new-sw-terrain-wip/#findComment-3810555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 YEAH!! Looks great Vrox!! Here's that mat just for those who might be interested: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/shop/frontline-gaming-and-tablewar-gaming-mat-alpine/ This has been a great inspiration for me as I am getting this mat in a couple of weeks (I hope) So seeing this kind of terrain and now knowing the ease of creating it, has me inspired to get moving on project #538-33 ... *falls over* End of Line Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296622-winter-planet-new-sw-terrain-wip/#findComment-3810619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I only had to glue the felt on top and cut it to shape. Don't want to un -inspire but want to set expectations. All in all it took me about 30 hours to finish the whole table. 6 forest pieces. 2 rocky outcroppings and 7 foam shaped ice/crystal pieces. 2 of the later not shown. This was my first attempt at table terrain so if I did it again it would probably go much faster. I also added some detail that does not show up without close ups, such as ice cycles off the overhangs and such.

WG Vrox Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Since a lot of people suggested the frontline alpine mat and I have been eyeballing it myself, I went ahead with the purchase. here is a last photo of the mat and terrain.
