Killer Angel's terrains

Back to buildings! (well, a small fortified position)

materials:
polystirene (a piece of… something, destined to trash.)
glue
newsday paper
some metal wire, recovered from the spiral holding a 2020 calendar
various bits


Here's the WIP

as you can see the starting material was too good to throw away, as it's almost ready and requires just a minimal work

after some work…

WIP 2.jpg

almost ready to be painted. please note the "hole" in the turret, for the placement of the Admech weaponry.

Well done, very nice use of parts :cool:

Interested in the end result

wow. the last update here was one year ago.

One thing i lack is forests. THey are useful for basically any game, be it 40k, fantasy, hystorical (bolt action, black powder)...

i stumbled upon a green mat that once was used to cover a working desk and (now that the desk was no more) it was literally being thrown away in the garbage.
It couldn't be. not given that i even have an official GW base for woods.

i was able to cut 13 pieces of terrains... not bad, it would be enough even for a full-jungle scenario.

THen i was able to recover some very old square tile with trees, many of them snapped, which were laying in a forgotten box in our gaming store basement.
"nice, can i take them?" "sure, go for it".

and now...

yes, it's not that great and yes, it can (and will) be improved... but i've paid only the cost of the glue and 2-3 hours of work.

I think it looks pretty good already. Some more simple work will make it great.

Great work already. This will make the table look good very quickly.

OK, this one is literally the cheapest one (and also the laziest. no work at all).


Anyway, a couple of evenings ago when i was taking out the bag of plastic waste, i found that someone threw away a couple of (still perfectly fine) old CD holder, which were laying over the other plastic bags, ready to been taken away the morning after.

These are the items:

But are they really CD holders?

...an Imperial hangar outpost?

a Necrons' gauss energy conduit?

They are battle ready!
Maybe I'm going to just add some metallic grey on the "ribs", or maybe i will add a internal cover so you won't see through it.

Nothing wrong with being lazy ;)
It is very effective!

Great idea

Nice and simple terrain solution!

Excellent idea, I've been thinking about how I can make some Necron terrain and I like this a lot!

If they're meant to be energy conduits, how about a copper colour to look like a transformer coil?
 
Your terrains are unique and creative. I love how you recycle with such simple and readily available materials. They are simple but highly creative through your hands. And I want to ask, what kind of paint is best to use with cardboard?
