Polaris Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Greetings! Let me start with a bit of historical information. When I first started to play WarHammer, there were literally NO PLAYERS around where I lived. I talked to a few friends about it and got them interested in the game. Seemingly, over night, the hobby has spread like wild fire. I now have eight people who are buying and building warhammer armies. EIGHT!!!! With all this added interest, myself and a friend decided we need a table everyone can play on. The closest hobby store is 1 1/2 hours away from us : ( Without further ado I present the first half of "Project: Inquisition" We started with a 4" thick 6 x 4 foam board. We cut it in half ( for storage ) and began working. I wanted to have something that was both scenic, WarHammer-y and offered tactical advantages to ANY army that played no matter what side they started on. We settled on a mountain/forest/battle field combination. An old river flows through on side, with a mountain range on the other. The River has been dug out and "entrenched" for the on coming battle. The center piece will be a blown out crater with buildings and rubble. The pictures dont accurately portray the size of this board. This bad boy is HUGE!

Polaris Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Updates Yes, already : ) I built some foam craters. They will be placed to give the board some more personality. (and cover saves! ) http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i32/pro_zac/zac012.jpg Also, we sealed the board using joint compound. This is so we can spray paint it. Foam tends to not agree with spray paints!! http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i32/pro_zac/zac014.jpg Just to give you an idea of the scale of things. I put my land raider down. Remember,this is a LAND RAIDER! http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i32/pro_zac/zac017.jpg http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i32/pro_zac/zac018.jpg http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i32/pro_zac/zac019.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 nice table looks huge compared to the LR how ar yougoing to paint/ flock your table ps shouldn't yo be wearing shop goggles while routing the foam I couldn't believe how big it really is. Its a 6 x 4 ,tourtment sized board though. And yeah, we probably should have worn goggles.... but who really worries about that? Its WARHAMMER not safetyhammer! ; ) Haha, here in australia Lowes is a mens clothing store Hahaha, try Home Depot then. You should be able to find it in almost any hardware/lumber store.
