Goth Buildings for 40k Terrain

Great post on Warhammer Fantasy Battle Reporter Forum. Some really nice terrain pieces by Dreamspirit shows how easy it is to take a Goth style structure and turn it into a 40k building. Add a few metal girders and braces, a few copper pipes, and maybe some wire and.you've got some nice 40k Terrain.

Warhammer 40k -- It's a game!

Posted a quick commentary on 40k Terrain this morning. I think recent discussions about terrain placement miss the point that this is a game and that the rules that Games Workshop provide might actually be done right.

BIG 40k Terrain Project

While I'm sitting at home working on making 40k Terrain craters -- nice ones, mind you, but still holes in the ground -- this guy's been building SERIOUS terrain. Check out the great project by Reepy at Astronomicon -- a 6' long ruined via duct. Once he gets a bit more money for paint, I think it's going to be fantastic -- much more dynamic than the usual polystyrene hills!

Mean while, my craters are coming along quite nicely. I'll have a nice tutorial on 40k Terrain soon.

Games Workshop Terrain Competition Winner!

New stuff coming this week on 40k Terrain -- check it out!

Jeremy is the winner of the great game board giveaway that Games Workshop recently hosted (see my post on Aug 26th). As you can see in the picture from Games Workshop, Jeremey's entry was truly great. It's completely written up at in Competition Winner's Entry. Incidentally, Jeremy has LOTS of friends -- I know because I got about a dozen Twitter posts on my 40kTerrain account (just click on the Twitter icon to go there) when he was announced.

Random 40K Terrain placement

Not so excited about random terrain placement. I think that a major strategic aspect of Warhammer 40k is placing terrain. However, the post below gives a really nice scheme for random scenery placement. Also check out my audio post on http://www.40kterrain.com.
