My new Terrain

**BDJV** · June 22nd, 2009 08:31

I just inherited my Fathers terrain, he's moving outta the area and doesn't feel like hauling it with him. Win for me, I can now cover 5 feet of table in forest! It needs some small fixes, but I think it is still fantastic looking stuff.

Here is a sampling of the pieces.

Here are some better detail shots; I've placed some of my Soul Reapers Chaos marines in the pics for scale.

A little back ground on my Father. He has been gaming since the mid 70's with a passion for the ancient world. During the 80's when gamers were still playing on bare tabletops with some colored felt scattered about for terrain. He undertook the task of creating 2x2 ft modular terrain using the same techniques that model railroaders use. Since that time he has won multiple awards for his fantastic layouts. Here are some scanned pics of that first terrain layout.

I just found this Egyptian terrain in some of the boxes. It also includes a pair of sphinxes and a bunch of columns.

It would make for a great looking abandoned desert world for 40k.

wow your father is very talented and i love the egyptian pieces alot.

as for the pics you posted.

I can't help but laugh, follow Shonuff's logic and thought progress, you'll laugh too:

Seeing such a lush, bright, beautiful forest with fields and trees, THen seeing the pic of the chaos, ugly, mean, nasty chaos warriors walking through the beautiful forest..

I just imagined one of them slinging their Bolter, and spinning in circles:

Chaos guy one: *Spinning around in a circle* "THe hills are alive with the sound of music!"
Chaos guy Two: "KNock is off, Bob!"
Chaos guy three: *Shoots Chaos bob in the head*
Chaos guy Two: "What did you do that for?"
Chaos GUy Three: *Shrugs* "i'm chaos."

It was funny to me. nice scenery.

LOL, thanks for the comments! I would imagine the forest would look quite frightening when they are through fighting in it!

Very nice terrain. Do you have any idea how your father created that mountain? I've been trying to create some mountains of my own, but his looks really good.

'The hills are alive, with the sound of parying to Khorne, oh and Bolter fire... and screaming...' LOL
