Hobby- Laser Cut City Fight Terrain Table

My buddies YepImadork and Seppuku made the shop a pretty sweet terrain table a few months ago.

They packed in a ton of detail into the board that really puts it over the top both in terms of play-ability and appearance IMHO.

Here’s a brief summary how they made the board.  To start, they used 1/8″ thick plastic card squares to frame out the sidewalks, and smaller ones to make the road surface itself. They also framed the long sides with squares as well for the hazard strip decal applied later.

Then they added texture to the ground areas (my favorite texture mix for tables is Large and Medium Grit Kitty Litter of all things), and painted those up.  After it was painted, they added flock to the ground areas, and then matte sprayed the whole board outdoors to protect the paint and grass.

The buildings were made from old laser cut Flying Tricycle kits, and glued onto Masonite board (the same stuff as the backs to clipboards).  The sweet coms depot in the middle was also one of their kits as well.

They build up texture around the buildings and then painted them all at the same time. The base-coat for the buildings was Army Painter’s Uniform Grey Spray Primer, and then they dry-brushed and weathered them up a bit.

The Bradley fighting figures were purchased from a Dollar General and added into the mix as static terrain. They also splashed in some GW trees, AT-43 crates, and other odd’s and ends as well to complete the theme.

Check out all the close-ups below! The pics were take with MERCS! minis, but they are 28mm so the scale is the same as Warhammer.

What do you think of the table? -MBG
