So I recently took a look at the banner for my blog...and I realized that I really haven't said much at all about terrain. I mean, afterall, I even put it in the description...and I have had very few terrain related posts...
Consider my head hung in shame...<feels shame>...so with that in mind. Terrain, I'm bringing it back baby...
Randal Graves approves the bringing back of terrain...
Funny thing, when I first started in the hobby I went pretty heavy with constructing buildings and terrain pieces, but over the years I slowly moved away from that and start purchasing more of the pre-built, pre-painted variety...I do enjoy the 'pro' made items, but there's still a lot to be said for the world of DIY.
Take care and see you in the New Year.
Some of my past glory...
this was the first table that I put together...the only pieces that I did not make were the Battlefront Eastern Front buildings...anything grey, I built...welcome to Stanisgrad
The next thing I needed were some walls to block movement, etc...
vicious hand to hand fighting in the factory...the factory took me approx. 2 months to build and paint and is approx. 24"x24"...all pieces inside the factory were handbuilt...I even put in a sewage pipe, complete with 'brown stuff' and a body or 2...
some commission work that I did, desert and eastern front minefields
a couple of resin bunkers that I bought from a LGS...I went with a very quick and dirty paintjob
Some craters that I bought at last years Cangames from 6 Squared Studios. I do not know where the open bottomed one came from, it was given to me...added a stand of CEF troops for scale...
Some city debris trenchlines that I had put together quite some time ago, but finally got around to painting them over the past couple of months...they will join about 6 more stands of city trenchline...I have similarly made about 6 stands each of desert trenchline and Eastern Front fieldworks.
VC recoilless rifle stand added for scale and perspective...
Those look really good, the Stanisgrad pieces especially.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try and make some Frostgrave terrain this year.
Thanks Duncan...I haven't had the table out in a while, but I'm thinking I should add some more pieces...they could work for TY.
DeleteSome Frostgrave would be great...I may have to try some as well.
