The Tau are a technologically advanced race with an elegant sense of aesthetics—and thus an architecture far different from the brutish and darkly gothic look of Imperial buildings. As I have a sizable Tau army—and my goal is to expand the Tau presence throughout the Corvus Cluster—it seemed […]
We continue to add bits of terrain to our wargaming table collection. A little over a year ago we started with rough-looking area terrain tiles and have added pieces along the way. You can check out our method for prepping MDF so it does not warp in a blog […]
Small terrain pieces are always appreciated on a game table. Not only can they serve as a strategically placed piece of terrain, a well-built bit of terrain adds atmosphere to the sci-fi setting of any battlefield in the Corvus Cluster. I confess, however, that I’m guilty of being […]
In between painting figures, we’re building up our collection of 40k terrain. We want something modular that could be an orky mektown, mining area, or a stronghold depending on how the pieces are arranged. The WH40k rule book mentions several pieces of ‘battlefield debris,’ one of which is a […]
Seventh edition effectively eliminated area terrain as a cover save factor, but these multipurpose terrain pieces still have utility to designate forests, light wood and rough going.
I look forward to each of the HMGS East Conventions to shamelessly plagiarize other people’s great ideas.. A fella had a great board set up at one not too long ago. He had bought it from “The Terrain Guy” who used a heavy rubber interlocking floor tile which was […]
Having gotten into the hobby only relatively recently, my terrain collection has been pretty sparse. I’ve got a fair number of buildings and individual terrain pieces but they’re not coordinated in any way. Consequently, a set up for a game looks pretty sorry. To try to change this sad […]
Whether you are a manufactorum worker living in the squalor outside a great hive city–or a mutant struggling to survive in the radiation-soaked wastelands of a desert planet–your most likely home across the Corvus Cluster is the humble and cobbled-together rockcrete and plasteel shanty. At the recent Cold […]
The Surfoam is a valuable tool for any hobbyist who works with rigid insulation foam—Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)—for building terrain. Essentially a specialized rasp, the cutting edge of a Surfoam looks similar to a cheese grater attached to a handle. It is commonly available in DIY stores, such as Home […]
I enjoy making terrain, and I’ve wanted to try my hand at some 40K buildings. While it might be more flexible to construct the buildings on a thin MDF base, so they could be placed on any table, I opted for the extra detail of a very dedicated base […]
