Hobby Night Live: Planning & Building A Viking Tabletop [Livestream Over]
May 27, 2017 by brennon
We hope you joined us tonight as we were able to get stuck into the first stages of building our Viking Tabletop which is going to be inspired by Kattegat from the Vikings TV show.
We went through the planning stages of this project and asked you folks what you would like to see us work on as we bring the tabletop to life.
What's Happening?
We covered a few steps here tonight with your help...
- Planning
- Table Layout & Placement
- Sculpting Foam Terrain
...and this all feeds into us talking about making playable tables which also look great too. Hopefully, by the end of this project with the help you give us tonight we'll have a Viking table worthy of Ragnar and Lagertha.

Hobby Night Live Community Thread
Additionally, uploading into that forum topic with pictures of what you’re working on might get you up on screen! We pulled images of your work from that thread and showed it off at intervals during the night. We will continue to cover this thread over the next week or so too.
4Ground's Heorot's Hall Up For Grabs!
One lucky person could also win themselves the utterly amazing Heorot's Great SAGA Hall by commenting and showing off their work during the evening.
Get sharing your work and you could be snapping up a code to get more hobby materials!
Will you be tuning in?
I will definitely be tuning in unless someone stops me from watching. really interested in seeing what sort of plans they guys are making.
Bah, going to miss this again. Ah well, will catch up on it over the weekend. Have fun chaps.
I’ll be around after work…. still deciding what to do……… 🙂
Argh, g*dd*mn moldy brains! Totally forgot about this but wanted to take it as the much needed kick to the lower regions to get my hobby juices flowing again.
Well, so this will have to be Hobby *Planning* Night Live for me, too. Sharpening pencils and collecting Realm Of Chaos, Necromunda and Inquisitor books right now…
Home from work! Let the hobby commence!
Enjoy it guys!
Looking forward to the stream. Will probably be painting some vikings as I am moving this weekend and most of everything is in boxes.. except for a small portable hobby station and some vikings for the occation
I see Gerry @avernos has managed to get in . You really must get that broken air vent fixed
I’m in the vents now. They’re never getting me out of here
My hobby for the next few weeks will be packing up all my hobby stuff to get the house ready to sell. 🙁 well actually 🙂 so hopefully I will get to watch a bit while packing.
Same here 🙂 Im more or less done packing and managed to sneak some plastic vikings and some paint out of a box aswell 🙂 hope you get some time to watch and good luck packing!
I keep looking at all these little dudes and keep thinking how dark it is inside the box. So much packing.
Once the library is packed and in storage then onto the games and minis. I have a little bit of an issue, just don’t want the lady of the house to actually see how much room all of it will take up. 🙂
Definitely interested in watching.
*eek* commenting yes, but work … *eh*
Let’s just say I need to find my inner zen before attempting to glue anything with superglue.
Contrast to plastic glue which is so flippin’ easy to use.
hmm … I’ve got a ton of plastic to glue. Might want to do that, but I’m bad at multi tasking so ….
I’m gonna try anyways.
Settled in with a nice cup of tea, and bits of cork, plastic and metal spread on my table.
Hello Beasts of War and the Hobby Night Live Community!
Today is a Public Holiday here in Germany and tomorrow I have a day off work – so I can enjoy this live hobby show in Real Time – yes!
Projects on the Hobby table:
Black Templars Predator using an Anarchy Models’ gun turret
TT Combat Warehouse
Imperial Defence Line Void Shield + LED lighting
Anyway, greetings from Berlin!
@beastsofwar what’s the plan for the boat keels? Or will it all list? #HobbyNightLive

Viking Village – The Vikings 1958
Use fabric for the sails and remove the crossbar for gaming
I have to put It out there. If you look at the real Kattegat. you will not see those kind of fjords. the real Kattegat is kind of flat. If you want the scenic fjords you have to go to northen Norway a quite a long way from Kattegat. By the way. I do not like that I have to have a twitch or facebook account to use the chat 🙁
Hopefully this hasn’t already been posted but you could use the terrain for a twist on GOT where the walkers/dead attack the Nights watch and the Wildlings as they are trying to escape in their boats. A kind of fantasy meets historical, the Vikings could take the place of the Nights watch a Lloyds wellies for the unread.
Apologies Lloyds Skellies not wellies
Having a mare here undead not the unread but who knows this could be the start of a new race
That’s a lot of fun!!!
When will the recorded stream be up ?
Is the playback video working?
Hi how’d it go? i
Intended to watch live last night, but weather and the message from mate at 6pm as got in of ‘In the pub’ derailed it.
Got mnext week of as pre Expo holiday so hopefully it will get me enthused to do some hobbying over the week.
Gutted I missed this, but was away with work so couldn’t be helped. On the bright side it does mean I have 4hrs of content and associated comments to read.
Since old age is catching up with me I can no longer focus properly for 2mm so have had to move up to 3mm instead. These larger scales I find are much easier to paint
3mm? Poser’s scale, mate…
