This looks fantastic!!!
Playable is an undersatement! I'd love to play that table!
I just worry how bad my wargang would look when surrounded by such greatness!

Congratulations Pathfinder. Excellent work!

Good with a camera too!

These are all still a work in progress, but at a stage where i deem them "playable"

Styro: Once i get about 4 times this much cobblestone platforms done at a playable level (3 shades of gray drybrush) I will go back and hit them all with green and brown washes to break up the monotony.

dwi: The wood is a mixture of Balsa wood, and (*)bucks coffee stirrers. The former is cheap and the later is free!

Mordheimer: The cobblestones are 2" thick pink insulation foam, distressed with a rock, then melted with a soldering iron. I posted more about them on TBMF.

I will not be making industrial (Necro/DeathSquad) terrain for the foreseeable future. To much time making 1/4 of a Mordheim table to switch gear now! There are plenty of hobby stores around with way to much WH40k (aka, GW's cash cow) that i can exploit!

Librarian:

1) Exactly, cut a break-point for the "plaster" and peel the card away; draw bricks on with pen. I must point out that i did not make that particular building.

2) Yes indeed! This is why it has taken me a year to get this much terrain done, not that it takes incredible long, but the procrastination caused by thinking about all that carving!

3) Pink foam.

4) wood panels are sheets of balsa wood, scored to look like separate planks, brushed with a wire brush. Popsicle sticks are to hard to work with, annoying to have to clip curved ends from, and fiddly to piece together. Actually if you look in picture 1, the 3 story building in the right foreground has just such a floor, it was not fun!

Awesome looking, man!

Some questions:

1) How did you do the bricks and paint thing on pics 5, 6, and 7? Foamcore + cardstock?
2) This ramp and high road, and cobblestone street is pink foam, right? (please say no!)
3) All the brickwork below the houses? Foamcore?
4) the wood panels and floors are just popsicle sticks, right?

I ask since in my remote country we don't have much in the ways of hobby supplies, so I have to emulate with simpler stuff!

OH! OH! And those figs are from Hero Quest, right?
God dammit I LOVE this game!

YIKES!!!

Cool table man! How you did the cobblestone? And when you plan to do a more 40kish table? WOW! Excellent work man... EXCELLENT!
