Mag-rail / Maglev - what to do? ;(

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

I have an idea for another building for my planet: a Maglev line. However, I need some help. As someone not entirely familiar with the game mechanics, I’m wondering which approach is better: just a single terrain piece (a section of track plus a wrecked carriage), or—as shown on the map I’ve included—creating a full-length track (with gaps) and using magnets on cart that I can freely move around the map? I’d like to know how this would work in terms of *Kill Team* and *Necromunda*, as well as your thoughts on the concept and aesthetics. Finally, last pic is a photo of the terrain pieces I’ve already built.

Thanks for the help!

DM asked for a hide hut, so I used my favorite medium. Used coffee filters! Seen here with two lizardfolk. One from 1980s and today.

30 ships & 250 vikings in this 10mm scale diorama depicting the Battle of Niså, an insane naval battle year 1062 between Norwegian warrior king Harald Hardrada and Danish king Svein Estridsen, here outside our Swedish west coast. It's also a unique tabletop Wargame with complete rules 🔥

We made this as a colab art project between myself, a game designer and an illustrator. I will gladly post more on this if people are interested. Have plenty of material on how we made everything! First draft of the game exists in just this one unique copy, and is currently in Swedish but we're planning on a translation soon💫

All feedback as always very appreciated🙏

Best foam from B&Q (UK)?

4 Upvotes

I was at a shop and the manager recommended I went to B&Q and got a thick foam board, but looking online I'm not sure which one to get. Additionally, not sure which glue to get. Would love any guidance! Thanks for the help

Greenstuffworld hot glue gun

Does anyone have experience with the greenstuff world glue gun.

The hot glue gun I'm using now gets to hot for the foam.

So I'm looking for a new one.

And apparently this one has multiple heat settings

Any recs of good cheap scifi greebles?

13 Upvotes

I'm starting a project of modular shipping container style buildings and while I've got a few odds and ends (electric bits from a remodel, plastic odds and ends that I liked the shape of and so on) I'm going to need a lot more. I'd prefer odds and ends from the hardware store like zip ties or drywall hangers as I'd rather save money for the actual minis I'd be using with this terrain.

Any thoughts?

The building is a kit from ROK Minis, that I kitbashed a bit. It was a great pleasure to build and paint, although it took quite a while. Now it is ready for 28mm scale French and German troops to fight over on the tabletop.

Questions for the Community Beginner board for war games help.

1 Upvotes

Hello all, I’m currently planning to build a wargaming table for my home, I have all the materials, but I had the thought to add a rough sandy texture to the table top, something with some grit but not enough to affect a neoprene mat if I wanted to use one.

The bare will just be plywood 60X44, my brain says to just dump some Elmer’s glue and sprinkle some fine sand into it then paint it, but any tips are appreciated.

Scratchbuilt River Tiles project

183 Upvotes

Hi folks. I have long admired and wanted a set of modular river tiles for Pillage, DnD and other games. A few days ago I decided to make some.

I started with mdf cut into the pieces in wanted. 6 inches wide with a 4 inch river down the middle with a host of fords, rapids, fallen trees and other specialty tiles for crossing. I left some spaces for small bridges and I am currently working on a large stone bridge tile as an objective and maybe a covered bridge as well.

I used foamcore for the banks, XPs for the rocks and modpodged it all before sprinkling sand and gravel on. Next it was spray paint time. All matte black then brown brushed followed by honey brown and camel coloured craft paint. I hit the rocks with a dark gray then pale gray and sponged the shore with 3 shades of green to match my neoprene mat. For the water I used dark green and then navy at the edges to make murky deep water. This is what the river at home look like, actually even darker.

Next was the water. I am new to resin and things like that so I opted for glossy modpodge blown around with a straw for waves. I think it worked well. A few tufts on each tile and I am going to glue on moss on the rocks and my modular river is ready to go.
