A LATE ENTRY on the PLATFORM THINGY: I cut 3/4" or 1" thick foam into various width boards & make hollow platforms/boxes with removeable tops; some have obvious entries, & some have secret entrances, but in either case it adds area of SINISTER PURPOSE...insert evil laughter here. I also do this with individual buildings. The Queen City Gamers: Terrain Log - Page 2 Suspect

You can see an example with a single building here: https://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/scenery-f13/building-by-deafnala-t1237.htm .

It's been a while, but the end of winter has stirred us to make some more terrain. We (Figgy and I) have been working on more platforms. Here you can see last weekend's progress. That large platform is 16"x16", so 9 will cover an entire Mordheim table. I will most likely make 4 of these, and then fill the rest with 8"x8" sections which can be left out or stacked for more depth. I can also make canal sections with actual depth. None of this is original, but the fact I'm working towards that goal amazes me sometimes!

All the platforms recently made, added to our previous ones we can now cover over half the table.

Plain 8"x8" platforms, the basis of the terrain system.

A broken section, this one still needs to have the muddy slope painted, once i decide which brown to use.

I am glad people like the fish mosaic! He's a little chubby, but I was happy with the results! The Queen City Gamers: Terrain Log - Page 2 Icon_razz

Thanks for the compliments.

And yes, it is all about the fishes for me in Mordheim.

Didn't take too long.. I had seen a similar thing done elsewhere... quite possibly a tutorial thread here or something relating to cobbles.

Very logical to use ork skulls as fillers when you can't seem to find a rock the perfect size. loving it!

Ah, wise you are.

Let me point out the sewer grate in Dubstyles brickwork. It's on the largest platform in many of the pics.

We were all done painting these up, and were rather proud of our work and about to play a test game on them when he said, "I think I am going to put a sewer grate here.."

Just as soon as he said that he took a knife to it, ripping out the beautifully painted bricks. I watched in horror as he stabbed at it like Freddy Kruegar stabs a highschool cheerleader.

Only after he started taking it apart did he start asking how he should make the grate.

I averted my eyes towards the playstation as I waited for him to be done, fearful that we may have just lost a great piece.

Much to my (Gleeful) surprise, I turned around to find it looking great! And painted! The Queen City Gamers: Terrain Log - Page 2 Suspect

HA! That was a rather recklessly sudden decision to gouge a hole in a finished terrain piece... But all for the better i guess. I noticed a circular depression in the bricks, and it inspired me. (very descriptive story by the way figgy)Laughing

I had no idea i was photographing the fish platform from the side with the orc skull in it, pure luck!

I notice from the pics that we need to add a few finishing details to the buildings, mainly a dove gray drybrush on the stones and bricks...

Also if one looks in the second photograph, they might notice i forgot to carve the vertical lines on an entire row of stones. *sigh*

*shhhh* you're not meant to admit to it... it was ummm... an architectural masterpiece, trying to set a new trend with a mordheimian discovery of a new concrete like building material, setting down one slab as a test to it's structure before mass implementation.


...and diving in to hack a piece apart for a grate was a brave move! Attacking a masterpiece when there are many materials of warhammer lying around at hand to the co-builder... risky! Awesome result though! I shall have to try and dig out the old soldering iron, and see about purchasing a foam cutter. Very inspiring!

If you look at some of the smaller platforms, the older ones, you can see i did nothing but rock texture the sides. This has bothered me for sometime and I used the concrete excuse before to justify it to myself, but it does stick out.

Ah yes, about the foam cutter, it was not used in these most recent platforms. They were actually cut on a friend's table saw, which insured that the edges were perfectly perpendicular. Although a foam cutter is more affordable!

Ah nice. I did wonder about a table saw and the generated heat messing up the blade with melted foam, but if it worked well I might try that approach...

...now to just find a cure for laziness. I have access to such saws, but it's bothering to go and use them... same reason I haven't properly based my own stuff on hardboard yet.

Need to get my ass in gear so we can reclaim the front room and clear the mordheim building debris... could use the spare bedroom for the function, but then there isn't the projector lol

This stuff is amazing! I like the entire concept of multiple levels, not just in buildings but also on the streets. The fact that it is all modulair is also very nice! This truly gives you the opportunity to rearrange the city every time you play.

Superb job! Keep it up Very Happy

Anywho, here is a cool atmospheric pic i took just now:


The Queen City Gamers: Terrain Log - Page 2 2010-12-14_19-56-04_896

If i can ever get home before dark one of these days, i can take some fully lit pictures of all of our progress.

Also there are several new posts on my website, CreativeCasualty.net, including handmade leather armor, and a sci-fi short story. Check 'em out! EDIT; no more website!
