omgitsduane Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Really interesting and good-looking project you have here. I'll definitely be using this as inspiration for whenever I get round to making some terrain. Get to it! I'd love to see some work. Inspiring others is a great reward for all this. I'm really liking the vibe you have in this thread. Nice looking terrain too. I took a quick spin through your FB but couldn't find any pictures of the aforementioned Death Guard. Are they still a thing? Do you have photos pls Also some of the pictures aren't working for me, but there sure are a lot which is great. Welcome back to the B&C! The District : Terra page is purely for commissions of terrain. I have another facebook blog for the army called Count the 7 https://www.facebook.com/countthe7/ Nice easy url. I haven't had time to really do much on them but when I attend tournaments I get busy on there with turn breakdowns and tons of photos. Excellent work. Thank you! Starting construction on the elements of this piece. Just some machinery in this building, nothing too fancy. I didn't get any progress before I ended up finishing this. So I took some before and after of the buildings for spraying. Moving on! More updates soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgitsduane Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Rad Thanks !!! :D feel free to comment with any critiques. IF there is anything you think I could do better or SHOULD have done different. Feel free to post it :D I made up some posters, as I love the trash and well-lived in look of the terrain I've made in the past and especially for a genestealer cult propaganda factory it should really be making plenty of paper to push forth the message. A couple of serious ones, dictating the cult as the champions of the people, fighting an unbearable tide of hatred and tyranny in the form of imperial forces. And one with a bit more fun to it. I began laying down the colors for the machinery, I went with a sort of straight-laced green as having worked around the stuff before its either that or a very olive color. Loved the results so far. deathspectersgt7 and Kierdale 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgitsduane Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Really exciting project! Looks like it will be an absolute joy to game with! It will be!!! I know with the amount of small scatter terrain there will always be ways to set it up new. chimera WIP Rhino WIP Printer WIP deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgitsduane Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Mid way through this project I was approached to finish a display board for a tourney only a few weeks away and felt compelled as I already had a great idea in mind. The thrilling part of all this, is I get to build, experiment with and design some of my dream boards and at the end of it all I don't have to store it at my house. Haha. It's win win! So this board was for a smallish Nurgle CSM army, a few squads of marines, minimal vehicles, a daemon prince and a TON of zombies. I opted to give the board some height to put the more sturdy elements of the army a more important representation on the board. And so begun construction.... WIP Slow Progress Laying down some minor details. deathspectersgt7 and Space Truckin 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgitsduane Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 I have been busy laying down some texture paint to create flow on the river section and also got started building the top piece for the board.

Jüffös Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Inspired stuff, your display board, gives 40k a sense of realism, especially the almost-broken-off parts. It already looks eye catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already looks eye catching. Thank you! I am always happy to see any comments and feedback. It keeps us going! We have SO MUCH to catch up on... The palette is looking rough after the painting... Sneaked in some pipes for the bluesteel table while mid painting of this nurgle board. A lot of fun to make. It almost feels like lego it snaps together so well. And the final result!!! The resin didn't pour as cleanly as I would have liked. I will have to spend some time learning how to properly use this material in the future. The rusted effects add so much to it, the work put into the broken pipes and roofs makes a good system for this particular Death Guard army to place their troops in a tiered system to show off the biggest and baddest up the top.

omgitsduane Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Straight back into working on the bluesteel project. The buildings are really coming together with the subtle olive greens and steel. Also found time to whip up some quick propoghanda posters to go with the set. These will be everywhere! deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgitsduane Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 So we have some crates and are doing some real work on the scatter pieces for this set currently including this cold fella. All the scatter pieces together. There may be some not shown but its an impressive amount of portable cover. And the warehouse wall itself with the racks.There was a lot of stress with these but they came out alright in the end. Very pleased with the result.

omgitsduane Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Looking good! I love the posters, it's a great little added detail. Thanks. I've tried to include a lot of this sort of work in most of my projects that I can get away with as it really adds a lived in feel.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Impressive work on the printing press. As for the crate with the warning "Don't open", is it a sign Nurgle's "gifts" can affect a Genestealer as well as they can an untainted human? Or is the zombie inside not related to your Genestealer cults, with the possible exception it's a prisoner? omgitsduane 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the zombie inside not related to your Genestealer cults, with the possible exception it's a prisoner? He is less of a zombie and more of a dead dude that froze in the wastes and ruins of this world. I guess the dont open was more for the throwback to the walking dead, but this guy is not coming to life anytime soon. :( A bit of a throwback on this one. I made this piece, planned it for PAX2015 that my gaming group ran to show off 40k to new and old players and we needed a story and some pazzaz to it all. This was the fated warpgate on the planet Deathguard legions and Imperial Fists faced off on. The crystal at the centre between the wraithlords is the objective, whoever holds it wins at the end of the game. But then the eldar arrive... I had bought a Farseer, a Fire Prism, and 2 squads of Wraithguard that pop out to protect their web world.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Most impressive. Does the crystal have Toughness and Wounds, so it may be destroyed if such an act of desperation was necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgitsduane Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Beautiful, beautiful work! Thank you! Most impressive. Does the crystal have Toughness and Wounds, so it may be destroyed if such an act of desperation was necessary? It would probably just have been 5 wounds t7 3+ save like artillery. These days with the rule changes maybe a lot more wounds and an invul to be sure. :D We have another display to set up this year, perhaps we will use that as an option. So we have got the snow down on some parts and it's looking crisp. I'll let the photos do the talking. deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgitsduane Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Awesome terrain! Are you working from templates or just design inf your own as you go? Nah no templates. I dont have the patience for that. I prefer to create in the moment a little more. I spend a lot of time rough planning and drawing out particular details I might want but the rest is on the fly.

omgitsduane Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Some of the buildings put together now. The posters are looking great on the walls and floors. I'm trying to make it look as though these were just as much rubbish as they were helpful. There is still weathering and plenty more to do. I try and put a lot of depth into washes on the finished pieces because the mix of tones really appeals to me. The machine shop is by far my favourite part of this. Down on the level of the models this looks like it was a once busy factory churning out weapons and gadgets for the cults. An overall view of the pieces that were made for this set. A lot has gone into this in terms of sweat and blood and just hard work. I am so happy and it's not even finished!

omgitsduane Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 A few shots of the factory again to get this started. We are calling this bad boy done!!!!!!! And set up as a complete board with all the smaller pieces. The pipe section is a little hard to see but I had fun with it in that it actually comes apart in a lot of places for you to build in a series of different ways. A cold marine stares through the ruined walls of the factory looking for targets.

omgitsduane Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 I didn't quite like the board that I had for the terrain so with a couple of cans of spraypaint I flipped over the icy blue and turned it into a winter-scape. AS you can see it adds a lot of depth to the finished product. Wrecked tanks lie dormant after battle in this frozen landscape. Also made a forklift for the warehouse as a last pieces to tie it in. This kit was available from miniaturescenery.com and I also bought the girders you see in the warehouse from them. Subtle blue washes around the engine components didn't come out as much as anticipated but I'm happy regardless with this entire set. deathspectersgt7, Space Truckin and Brother Dallo 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
