Realistic 40k Terrain - Ruined Factory Tutorial

Nicely done. And this from card board and other bits.

"Max Steel" Hot Wheels, Rod Squad for the Gas Lands

New for 2022 "This highboy hot rod is one of a kind. Featuring a low, air cooled flat six engine, the vehicle's body is smooth and riding high. A single-seater speedster, it's truly a unique design."

Max Steel: HCT29

This futuristic one seater is fitted with a manual fired machine gun will make a great addition to my Gas Lands collection.

Necromunda Underhive Scenery

I found another site where the author has assembled a collection of his DIY stuctures and scenery depicting what looks like a post-apocalyptic scene. To add to the ambience, rust and grime has been added affectivly to the structures.

Two More for the Gaslands

I have two more vehicles destined for the Gas Lands. The are shown here still in their pacackaging. However, at least one of them, the X-Raycer, is being converted for the duty as you read this.

HotWheels X-Raycer, Electrack: HCT52

HotWheels Baja Blazers, Baja Bone Shaker: HCW68

Sumptown Chronicles

The author chronicles his endeavors in creating a base, which he has named Sumptown, for his war-gaming activities. There are loads of images of his modules, which are highly detailed.The author mentions Sumptown 2.0 and all the things that went undone in the current version, but to my eye he has already created a masterpiece. I cann't imagine anything he could do to improve his gaming board.

8mm Skjalos Guard Kystoja Flame Tank

The Skjalos Guard Kystoja Flame Tank is a highly detailed 8mm resin casting from Metal Oak Casting. It will be added to my arsenal of weaponry and brought into play in our next war-game meet. I look forward to painting and detailing this piece of micro armour.

A Host of Characters - Arina Vlassievna

It has been awhile since my last post on this topic, so you might have forgotten what my rational. A host of characters is a place where I document possible characters for my games.

Arina Vlassievna is the mother of Evgenii Bazarov. Arina is in her sixties and is small and rotund. Arina diminutiveness accents her humility and Arina Vlassievna was a true Russian daughter of the petty nobility; by rights she should have lived a couple of centuries before, in the times of old Moscow. She was very devoted and emotional: she believed in all sorts of omens, ways of telling a fortune, spells, dreams; she believed in holy innocents, in brownies, in wood demons, in unlucky encounters, in the evil eye, in folk remedies, in salt, especially when it was blessed on Holy Thursday, and the imminent end o f the world…”

Jungle Terrain Quick Tips

I didn't make a post on the Trent's last project How To Make Flock In 15 Minutes, however you might find the video useful.

Another Post from Miscast Terrain

Here is another interesting post from Miscast Terrain, where the authors produces several types of war-gaming wall sections and how to take care of problems as they arise. Make sure you download the templates from the provided link.

SCIFI Inquisitor Trilogy

I found this page at the legion of plastic site depicting the authors third installment of what he calls the Inquisitor Trilogy. The page depicts some truly wonderful images of a science fiction war-game in progress. The scenery is full of a array of industrial colors of rust and neglect. You must see it to truly appreciate it.

Tales of Lost Isles

“The Ghost Archipelago, a vast island chain that is covered with ruins of ancient and other worldly civilizations, has reappeared after centuries, to the far reaches of the Southern Ocean.”

Tales of Lost Isles is a collection of short stories giving one several scenarios and ideas to use with the Tales of Lost Isles war game.

Mega Hive One & Two Technology Structure Modules

If I had only realized that these products would only be available for a short time I would have order another set of these part laden sprue. Since these products are longer available, more information about them is not available. However, if my memory serves me I believe that the components are geared for 28mm.

I had no intention of using them for their intended use; small war-gaming structures, but was thinking about using these components in other projects for their architectural benefits. The kits can be used for industrial or Sci-Fi scenes.

Trent & Scott's Terrain Death-match

Here is another installment from Trent. This time he is making a pentagram terrain piece. It looks simple enough. Just take a left over slab of foam board and follow Trent's instructions.

How To Make a Bunker for 40k

Miscast Terrain has released another DIY video. This one demonstrates how to build a Warhammer 40K bunker and a string of barbed-wire. The bunker is made out of foam core.

Minecarts, Mushrooms & Piles of Gold Terrain Pieces

Yet another war gaming terrain tutorial. The author has created some very neat terrain pieces in the past, each project better then the last. This project takes the cake so far.

Green Popcorn (Materials)

At least that is what I know this packing foam as. Where it got its name, it’s anyone’s guess. I believe they would make a great base for a water fall or if they do get broken up I use them as a base for a rubbish pile of some sort.

TABLETOP TERRAIN BUILDINGS

I found an interesting how-to article on how to make terrain pieces for your next war-game. The author used commonly available materials that are typically found around your home or shop.

Last Stand at Surbiton

Last Stand at Surbiton is a sequel to 1871: The Battle of Dorking, formally from Draken Games. The situation is desperate for the demoralized British forces; however Surbiton, a nominally defend-able position, is their last attempt to check the Imperil German forces from sacking London.

To get you in the mood you might want to read The Invasion by William Le Queux which envisions Britain being invaded by Germany.

The Battle of Dorking

The Battle of Dorking is the first “print and play” game I purchased. The Battle of Dorking is a fictional battle between German imperial forces and a mostly vagabond lot of English citizens and soldiers in Victorian England in the year of 1871. The game features 38 pages of rules, counters, statistic tables, and a large map (two pages). There are 20 pages of rules and the remainder of the booklet includes back-end details.
