Bridges over Troubled Water - Apocalyptic Terrain

[kendoka]

Hi all.

Having some trouble deciding what board to build next.
I am adding finishing touches to two ruined city boards.
1.2m x 1.2 m, designed so I can fit them together in six different ways.

Basically there is a canal running through each board - and a highway crossing the canal.
One board is dominated by a large ruined manufactorum and a "London Bridge", the other board is mostly bombed flat, except for an Inquisitorial mansion.

I now want to build a third board, following the same principle - but don't really know how to theme the third board and thought I might ask you.

- Tyranid infested city block?
- Space port / airfield?
- Prison ala Prison Break season 3 ?

Suggestions??

i say go for the tyranid infsted block, it will add some colour to the sad grey ruined city
and on another note we havnt seen much infested cities, so plus points for doing something unique.

Yea I was thinking the same thing I don't think I have ever seen a Tyranid Infested city...
you should check out an Anime called Blue Gender, it's all about thes ailens kinda like
tyranids that take over earth...

I'm afraid that I don't have any advice to give you, but that board is amazing.

With a board that COOL why would you want to play on anything else?

Honestly thats one of the greatest ones I have seen.
(pictures saved for inspiration)

Bugbait out.

The boards are still W.I.P.
There are still *a lot* to be done.
While painting and adding tons of detail I plan ahead for the next board(s).
Therefore I really appreciate all inspiration you could give me - and hope the pics in this thread will inspire others.

Here's a pic (of the big bridge on board 1) from the very beginning:

Are those pegasus gothic buildings?

Some lovely stuff here m8!

What I have yet to see is some proper farmland or some ornamental gardens.

>Are those pegasus gothic buildings?

Yep - and their metal bridge too.

I believe I spy some Platformer parts as well...

Excellent job by the way !

Maybe some towering building thing, to give it a real large city look?

Making a ruined house, step by step guide
----------------------------------------------------------------

Plan where to put the house.
Cut away a recess (basement level).



Mix some grey plaster and pour into HirstArts moulds:



Build the house, break walls and building blocks using pliers:



Mix PVA glue with black plaster and some concrete filler and make pavement:

CHRIST ALMIGHTYS BEARD!!!!

thats no board...its ART DAMNIT

[kendoka]

Add rubble (pieces of grey plaster) while the "pavement" is still wet:


Pour a mix of PVA and water over the pavement and add more rubble and plaster dust until the house looks nice, then paint scorch marks with black and brown.
Keep adding details (I print small posters and put them into tea to make them look weathered, buy lots of smallish terrain pieces) and voilá, the house is finished to a high gaming standard:

Those gaming tables are freaking amazing!
