So, again, I've been on assignment from the local hobby shop to make warhammer terrain, and the rulebook has specific terrain features that can play a part of warhammer games, proximity to said features have different effects on units, and the game.

Warhammer Shrine/Chapel
Lizardman Spawning Pool
Hey, post a comment if you think you know what's inside the spawning pool.

40K stuff - bunkers and ruins
I made 3 of them. btw, there isn't a door on the other side so obviously I am not taking the pic from the business side of these fortifications, but the door detail is more interesting than the blank wall side, and I didn't do any battle damage, maybe next set.

Terrain KITS
I've been working with a friend of mine, Vivian at All Fun & Games in Apex, NC and she's trying to update her gaming terrain so I've been taking beat up terrain home and trying to breath new life into it for her.
She gave me some kits that I've based and painted...here are some...
LOTR RUIN Terrain kit


Some Sweet Pinebark Nugget rocky outcroppings.
Here are some walls from the Warhammer Manor house kit. I have put them on hardboard bases and textured them so they are heavy and look good, imo.

Buildings, lots of them.
Front and back pics of 2 buildings, they aren't completely finished yet but they are close to it. I plan on putting in some "broken glass" on the windows, and some motivational posters on the outside walls as if the Administratum PR people had been by to motivate the citizens. I might wash the piece too but Im not sure. Painting is not my strongest suite.

woods & walls
So occasionally you stumble on an idea and you actually see it through to the end and it actually works out. It happens, but not often. I think these woods may be one such example as I really like them.
The walls I made previously are made from casting blocks from Hirst Arts which are really well done. I then seal them and then wash them with water-based stain. But as I looked at them I got to wondering about stones made from different kinds/colors of rock and wondering if I could represent that in miniature. so before washing this batch I picked out random stones with 3 different colors of grey paint. Reminds me somewhat of the stone walls in civil war battlefields.

A few pieces from Hirst molds.
So I'm a huge slacker, I've been busy and have s-l-o-w-l-y been working on some new pieces. I fully expect to take these down to the local hobby shop eventually but its a 30 minute drive and my days are packed with errands and kids and work, etc. heheh enough of all that, here's some terrain...
Rocky outcroppings are mostly made of styrofoam hills, covered in cement, the "rocks" are pine tree nuggets and look great!
The walls interestingly overhang each end of the base by about 1/4 inch so that they can be arranged in multiple configurations. each is about 6 inches long.

I am a subscriber to Beasts of War, they are a UK-based miniature game review company. They unbox new figs, do you tube vids of assemling new kits, and even clarify rules that cause confusion. I emailed them asking for a tutorial on how they make their great hill terrain. I have yet to get a response but here I had a go anyway! Let me know what you think.
I put in a Space Marine Dread to give some scale to this piece. Its a honking big hill.

So as I said in my last post I've been working on some alternative Woods. Woods seem to be very scarce in 40K yet look at pictures from every war since the beginning of time, and there is a tree somewhere in the background, go figure.
Anyway, I picture this sort of wood to be found on tables with dwarves, Space Wolves, Chaos Hoards, etc. Tell me what you think!
[You can click on the images for larger pics.]
Two small stands of trees growing out of some rocky ground gives the feel of cover from incoming small arms fire.
Slightly different angle to show the bases for the trees, I used MDF board cut to irregular shape, the rocky out-croppings are pinebark nuggets, I then textured the base with sand and glue. They were painted with basecoated black/brown then drybrushed tan. I used PVA mixed with cornstarch for the snow, I'll need to work out the consistency for that, as it was a little difficult to work with.
My Scouts scouting out a pine forest, it's cold as evidenced by the spotty snow covering the ground in places.

Alternative Terrain
Here's something I'm currently toying around with...

I plan to make a few small stands that can then be placed on felt to stand for a wood, but allow the terrain to be moved around to accomodate models, AND still maintain a clearly defined space via the felt (or cloth or whatever).
I have an idea for icicles too. stay tuned.
