omgitsduane Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) So it's been probably years since I have put my face on these forums and it's probably time I get back to where it all started... I've had some very hectic tournaments in the last few years, focusing primarily on CSM but moved the start of 2016 to the loyalist and superior codex of SPACE MARINES! I've gone through a full circle event realising that as much as I do love Death Guard, they were not heavy on the chaos iconography like other chaos marines were so I went back and built a full army of loyalist kits with the preheresy scheme with a few worn out models but mostly basic painting on them. I ran with this on the CSM codex for a good two years, heavily investing in vindicators, land raider and terminators to get my work done and I performed well most games but then the codex creep came... Experiments with 4 Maulerfiends, Cypher in Spawn stars, and all the like left me feeling let down by the basic elements of the army and so the Emperors guiding light set me free. The leap into using preheresy models came almost 2 years ago because of their rugged and tough appearance plus being expensive they were not seen often at tournaments in this area so I took to it quickly and they suited my painting style - fast and washy! Within months I had made 50 marines and a few tanks as well as ordered 15 odd terminators, which is now in the 50 mark thanks to BAC and BOP box sets. My shift in the hobby though turned towards the hobby, where I found solace those earlier years when things in life just seemed tough, warhammer and particularly the building of terrain gave me a reason to be excited for tomorrow. https://www.facebook.com/DistrictTerra/ I put most of my stuff on here, been using it as a good creative release and have just in the last month moved in to a much bigger home where I can finally get some real work done and all those half finished projects can go to rest. Just to make sure there is enough spam in the post. I hope to reconnect again with those of you I may have lost, and make new friends along the way!!! Introduce yourself either here or FB. Looking forward to a good reunion.

omgitsduane Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks! It's been a ride! I have a small update.I received a commission after selling some terrain to a customer and he had a close friend who was interested and got on to me straight away about creating a dwarf inspired set but changed his mind (thankfully before production began) to a snowed over industrial set and I fell in love and ran with the concept. I drew up heaps of sketches and saved picture after picture of reference for use and have started construction after a long and difficult move to a new home.This building would be just for repairs and gearing up of the vehicles or machinery of war. The buildings are 6x12" with cuts down the middle so they can be split apart to cover wider areas or put together to form a cluster of industry.http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15726865_1709377809375235_384712620128062233_n_zpsd4ypcyzw.jpgA prep station with fuel tanks and the needed tools of war.

I am really keen on this project as a whole. Painting will be so much fun. I have a lot of ideas.

foamy248 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 New terrain looks very promising! I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for sure :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328611-district-terra-wip/#findComment-4626893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound23 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Wow. First off- I really agree that the hobby can be extraordinarily soothing and very encouraging. I, too, came back to the hobby and needed (for better or worse) something that would get me excited about waking up the next day. Sounds strange if you haven't been through it, I'm sure, but no less true for those who have. Secondly- this is amazing stuff. I can't say enough how engulfed and immersed in the universe I feel when I see your creations. Cheers to your hard work and thanks for showing it off.

It really does give me a reason to get back to it every day. It's a great way to express creativity for sure and there's very few limits to what you can do with your mind in the right place. I have a lot more to show off. I am currently filling in sketch books with future ideas. :) Stay tuned! New terrain looks very promising! I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for sure Thank you also! I have been keeping busy for sure. So I have some extra stuff to show for this set. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15826660_1710352215944461_1750263136639990931_n_zpsoaa6bmo7.jpg I have begun putting the texture paint around. It is good for hiding gaps in walls and I also use it for roughing up floors and walls to create texture where there isn't any. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15825925_1710352205944462_7711814689153986035_n_zps6zi24dwu.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15741209_1710352415944441_1967131600648680026_n_zpsel4wolzu.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15726773_1710352192611130_663698563524871346_n_zpsphupuv9m.jpg The devil is in the details with this one. I hope to really create something with a story for this terrain. An overrun facility with a hint of Genestealer Cult. Look for the next addition!

omgitsduane Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Have another small update. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15895078_1713396705640012_4532860106122941760_n_zpseocwzts3.jpg A crate of goods for the front line/guerrilla army (ironically the genestealers) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15941260_1713396728973343_6103803836296530217_n_zpsn7lryacd.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15965123_1713396742306675_5953447896283735187_n_zpsxn2gwpmr.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15894497_1713396715640011_8698945714846775759_n_zpsro9on5ax.jpg And the second building taking shape. This one I wanted as a sort of small refueling station/oils/change that kind of thing. Some minor work to be done but coming along well!

I hope to bring enough to the table (get it?) to keep everyone interested. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15823050_1709377829375233_7727528897378146828_n_zpsw0qlgehp.jpg Are those the "crushable barrels" you can buy from some third-party seller ? Would you mind telling me the source? Unfortunately I bought these off ebay a VERY long time ago and just hoarded it until now. I had a small look just now but didn't come up with anything quite the same. sorry :( Small update. I recently got hold of a LOT of scrap and cut off pieces from a friend and I wasn't quite sure what to do with them at first until I realised how easily I could make practically anything given the inspiration. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/15941173_1714215728891443_3976421969418681241_n_zpsp4vdmq67.jpg I made this! A printer it will work as, for the GSC in this sector. Having captured the printer long ago they pumped out propaganda and started turning the masses against their own government. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/teh_used/gscs_zpseruyk9gk.jpg A corner of one of the buildings I've made. This pipe or canister, whatever it may be has ruptured and genestealer Jim has found a comfy spot to rest his genestealer head. The body underneath has a Tyranid adrenal gland on the back of it's head, a form of aggressive psych-domination through parasites but the victim didn't live through his transformation.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) What's a Genestealer doing inside a pipe? If it doesn't lead anywhere, I think it's easier to claim the Genestealer was being cryogenically preserved for study in an AdMech lab (holding the xeno in stasis will prevent further interaction, e.g., dissection or vivisection), and the "pipe" is actually a storage unit. What happened next? Considering the human body there, I think we can confidently state the Magos in charge of the lab had ed up- BIG TIME- allowing the xenos to break free. (If the human was intentionally transplanted with the xeno organ as part of the experiment, he should be lying on a dissection table, NOT on the floor, and countermeasures would be in place to prevent damage to the lab.) Good ideas on the printing press for anti-government propaganda. Will it be an objective in a future game? Or just cover for indoor firefights?

I didn't think too far into it as I assumed he was just waiting for rescuers of the human so they could infect them as well. I will take aboard your story as my own The printer will just be scatter terrain for the inside of the buildings but can function as objectives possibly for killteams and the like. Thanks for the comment! Keep it coming. haha that is some well thought out fluff.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I doubt the Genestealer in the pipe had infected the human- why lie in ambush there, when it should know this would make the xeno a "fish in a barrel" for humans to shoot up? Of course, it's unlikely to be the only "sample" being studied, and other Tyranids may be clinging to the ceiling, ready to drop down onto any humans coming to investigate the lab- including those distracted by the sight of the Genestealer in the pipe. Said Genestealer will be fine as an Objective Marker. Feel free to write Missions where an Imperium unit must destroy the pipe and its contents (so a Puritanical Inquisitor may eliminate all potential sources of genetic deviancy, or a rogue Inquisitor may eliminate evidence of his potentially heretical research into the Tyranids' genetic potential), or one where Fabius Bile is raiding a rogue Magos or Inquisitor's lab to seize another's research for his own use.

omgitsduane Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 It´s a little genestealer playing hide and seek with his patriarch. I'll take this one! The printer room currently looks like this. I've added some pieces to the edges of the room to give it more of a lived in feel. And the three that I've currently got working on. The blue stuff is texture paint which is invaluable! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328611-district-terra-wip/#findComment-4646518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgitsduane Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I have begun work on a very big part of this project. I am lucky that with my measurements quickly taken once the walls went up that I can fit in there exactly as I meant to. It was a pretty tight fit, and there is a lot of work to go into making the racks look good but there is always time. deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328611-district-terra-wip/#findComment-4653959 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherJim Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'm really liking the vibe you have in this thread. Nice looking terrain too. I took a quick spin through your FB but couldn't find any pictures of the aforementioned Death Guard. Are they still a thing? Do you have photos pls :D Also some of the pictures aren't working for me, but there sure are a lot which is great. Welcome back to the B&C!
