Apocalyptic industry terrain

[thenickeninja]

Whoooooa!! Awesome. Youve now been added to my 40k Terrain sites Favourites. Impressive stuff. This could be the motivation im looking for

Haha, I'm honoured to be a motivator

[thenickeninja]

That terrain is awesome

Where did you get the metal mesh?

Actually I've got it from a friend but I'm quite sure he bought it in a building suppliers store like Hornbach or similar. Really useful stuff!

[thenickeninja]

Now I not only envy you.. I hate you too :>

With that reason I can take it

[thenickeninja]

Man! What do you make those ramps out off? Been trying to find identical material but am just not finding it

You mean the long walkways? In that case, it's chicken mesh for the rail on the side, and some other mesh for the floor which I bought on Bauhaus (Sounds like a international company at least And then some rubble on that

[thenickeninja]

We've run a zombie apocalypse scenario a few times, and found that it does horrific things to the participating models. They either die horribly, or very swiftly max out. My gang leader has survived two such outbreaks, and is just about to hit 400xp...

...on the other hand, our scenario may be a little broken...still working on that...

I'll start making zombies today for a games convent in the end of august. I'll concern your ideas to not make the scenario to hard... or should I? Mohaha!

I was refering to the mesh that you used for the floor, but seems like il have to find a local source. Thanks though You dont mind me borrow your "chicken mesh for hand railings and ladders" idea do you?

On the subject of zombies, we played a scenario with them as well and found the 2D6 movement to be... Abit much. Redciulas movement aside theyre not that broken

[Nymie_the_Pooh]

Check stores that deal in sewing supplies for the floor mesh. Most hobbyists call it Granny Lattice (or something similar), but I believe the store is more likely to know it as Plastic Canvas.

Go ahead, steal it!
About the zombie movement, i think rather 1D6 is more suitable. I'm planning to do a scenario with different kinds, I'll come back with details.

Great! I really need the appropriate words, really hard if you're not a native speaker

Yea D6 movement is most defenitly better they can still do a shambling run and people with leg injuries are ****ed just as they should be

They are still appalingly bad fighters though but zomies are always depicted as such. Rather relying on overwhelming numbers to achieve their goal. In a game around D6 deciding the outcome this might prove to be sooner or later, but its very unlikely a model will survive to many zombies for an extended time

I think will make at least some of them T2 just for the mayhem Probably the players go out of ammuntion sooner or later anyway

That is one amazing table mate, i never thought of using cars and wrecks on a table, i mean you have me thinking of visiting a scrap yard to pick up as much random electrical type stuff and wripping it to pieces and making terrain, i never thought of more than cardboard buildings or the gw plastic ones, this is an amazing table, the sewer is awsome and fits the whole zombie outbreak thing well.
The movement i think it a little excessive id have thought 1d6 may make them fast or too slow, but i dunno where the happy medium would be, but if you play the zombies agressivly its cool.

[thenickeninja]

Thanks! Funny I made some one inspired to visit a junkyard I finally decided that the highest of 2d6 was about the best. I've playtested some and it works

[Demoulius]

If 2D6 and pick the higest doesent work why not try 2D3. At worst theyre shuffling along, at best theyre slightly slower then gangers without leg wounds and more often then not theyre just a bit in between No insane 12 inch long sprints though and they can still suprise you with a few 6 inch movements

Small, unrelated tip, the button next to "Reply with quote" (The one with a +) let's you multiquote. When you're done, you can then click the regular "reply with quote" and you have them all in one reply. Saves you a lot of trouble!

And love your terrain! Pretty awesome.

[thenickeninja]

Thanks! And thanks for the tip

Now this is just awesome, one of the best gaming boards I've seen! Great work!

[chilledmonkeybrains]

Yeah, really impressive work, thenickeninja! I like how you've used pretty much anything you could get your hands on (you can't beat a bit of recycling).

Look forward to seeing even more of your work.

Laters!

Is that zombie wearing a baseball cap...?

Nice to see some action shots. It looks like much fun was had!
