About the Project
Just putting together a little project to show off some of the steps to putting together what i think is the best type of gaming table for folks who want a good balanced-ish game. I'll be working with Warhammer 40K kits and taking them from build to lay out and painting.

First Painting Steps
So talking to John and getting a good bit of help from him we’ve came up with the first steps of painting up the primed terrain. and really that’s to grab some Dirty Down weathering spray to tone the kits more than anything else to get a good fast result
The Kits
I've chosen my kits from Games Workshop, their solid kits that are gonna give me what I want on the table and not need an insane amount of painting.The Plan
To kick off I wanted to give a little pre-face on what I’m trying to do, my most hated type of gaming table is a narrative sprawl that you simply cant get a good game played out on. So I asked myself what would a good gamers gaming table look like?
First step is to pick out a range of terrain that I think I can build it from that’s going to do the key things I want in a gaming table.
- must be plastic (I like having lots of detail and I think plastic gives the best results when painted.)
- Must all be from the same range (I’m not a fan of mixing ranges a lot, if its by the same company its going to have a consistent scale and look.)
- must be modular (I hate tables that can only be built a single way that if you play on it over and over it gets boring)
- must not be heavy themed to a single color scheme (I want to avoid painting the table in a way that means I can only use it on a single type of table E.G. winter or desert)
- must not have too much on the table I don’t want a crowded table where you can’t see your minis or get good movement or lines of fire)
