Step 1: Adding Dry Moss & Textured Moss

Options Options... Do we make it 'Aqua' and if so how should it look? We take a Trip outside...

So we have reached the stage of 'specific' weathering. You will remember about halfway through the project, @lloyd exulted that this terrain would work well in other environments...

Of-course we hadn't realised that, but we do now ... so time to discuss!

Weathering Piers & Jetty Sections

John shows you how to give your Piers and Jetty sections that weather beaten look. Keep a close eye on his techniques as they really make the terrain pop...

Another Layout Test - This time Weathered ... It's Working I tell You!!!

Time for an update on what’s been happening with our Age of Sigmar board.

The table has been weathered and Warren couldn’t resist setting up some of our Fantasy miniatures to see how it all looks.

A Hard Day Super Detailing!

No Comments

Warren and John sit down to have a look at all the super detailing they have added to the Loch Death board. This includes rough and ready repairs, chain, hooks and maybe a few mooring ropes for ships.

We also have a question about making sea weeds. You’ll get what he means…honest.

Super Detailing Lough Death

Another entry in the Lough Death project as Warren plays around with adding those extra little details to the table bringing it to life.

We also talk about the other games we could play on this gaming table.

Time for a Layout Test

No Comments

Work on the Lake Town inspired table for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar continues apace as the framework is being laid out to see what works best.

Building Begins

No Comments

Warren has got his supplies and with the help of John is starting to turn his plans of a Warhammer: Age of Sigmar inspired table into a reality. Many coffee stirrers shall be sacrificed to complete this table.

As you can see the modular design allows for variety and with the buildings of the Fabled Realms Mordanburg range from 4Ground placed on top it is looking good already.

How would you utilize the Mordanburg buildings?

The Planning Phase

No Comments

Warren’s getting excited for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar and has decided to build a new gaming tabletop play the game on. In this first of a series of special VLOGs he sits down with Justin to plan out the project.

I am really liking this format of smaller VLOG style videos all in one place. It gives the project a dedicated space on the site and allows us to easier follow the evolution.

When do we get to see a game played on it ?

They are already selling AoS here in Germany. Saw it at a local shop when getting some paints.

I was on the verge of cancelling my backstage subscription as I felt the boot camps had kicked the hobby lab videos into the long grass but this has rescued me.

Are you trying to kill us with suspense by waiting till the last video to reveal the weathering technique?

Mordheim would be interesting to play on this board

I do believe this to be perfect for Mordheim and SAGA!

SAGA would be my vote as well! I think that you should take that game up a bit more, missing proper coverage on possibly one of the best skirmish rulesets out there. And it has vikings! And irishmen, even!!

I voted for “something else” – change the buildings to corrugated iron shacks and have modern special forces (SAS, SEALs etc) raiding a pirate lair for a hostage rescue.

So, my question is, based on the new AoS fluff, what realm is this lake-town supposedly located? Essentially it appears everyone in this future warhammer world lives in one of Eight realms based upon the 8 lords of magic from the old warhammer world (light, death, life, fire, beasts, metal, shadow and heavens). Sigmar’s realm is the realm of the heavens. Where is this laketown? Is it built on a flourishing lake in the realm of life? Is it a town built on a lake in the realm of beasts, using the water as a protective barrier against rampaging orruks… Read more »

You guys must not miss the opportunity of playing Mordheim on this great table!

When John is lefthanded, the camera should be to the right. His left hand obscures what he does all the time when the cam is to the left like in these clips.

Mordheim on this Board would be cool 🙂

I must confess, I never expected to see two grown men vigorously sanding their schooner for our delectation in this series…

Inspirational, with great tips to take away and build something myself.

Looks great, but AoS is the last thing I’d associate this setting with. Compare with the battke setting in the Total War Dev video and it’s gone from…
“Now, in this deep menacing valley surrounded by lava we confront the approaching hordes of Orc menace”
…to…
“Rumble down the Jetty at 7 OK?” 😉

But just let me loose with Malifaux, Mordheim, Bushido goes west or even the Hobbit and it’s a cracking table!

A couple of weeks ago, we had the good fortune to use this table for our first Frostgrave game. 4 different war bands arrived in a boom town near the frozen city. One getting off the ship, another arriving on a pier, one who’d already established themselves in a tower and my Wildling inspired war band breaking into the Lake Town for a look at all the newcomers.

It’s a sight to behold.

The next game we played, they entered the city and we played on a ruined city terrain.

FRIDAY THE 11TH There is no replacement to going outside and using the real world as a reference no matter what you are modelling, even in Sci Fi or fantasy builds, using the outside as reference gives a grounding to your pieces that carry the viewer from our world and connecting it with a made up one. Look at some of the most successful films, books and games, they tend to be the ones that have some sort of logical natural reference to them. Even films such as horror of an acid bleeding ultimate beast as in Alien to the… Read more »
