The 40k Weekend looms closer and we're finally reaching the last stages of our epic Apocalypse Gaming Table. Starting the painting progress on the Archon Terrain we can finally see the end in sight.

After our last vlog showcased what our ideas for layout were, we've been hard at work painting up the last of the road ways, Archon Terrain and planning a few extra details along the way.
We've even recruited in some awesome volunteers to help us, @buggeroff kindly donated some of his time out of his lovely holidays in the North Coast to aid us making some awesome looking sandbags for scatter terrain around the tabletops.
Warren's even been looking at how he can light up the sky with a few concoctions he's been brewing up from Thingiverse.
Keep in mind we've been asking YOU what you would like to see from the 40k weekend, get your comments in and perhaps we'll have more content than you could shake a large sci-fi heresy stick at!
Whoop!

So…. @buggeroff is now a thrall? XD
They used to call that conscription… or slavery!
Slavery. Was drugged
It were the fumes because of all the spray cans they used indoors!!
I hope you print some pennants and banners like the ones in Lloydoslavia to dress those giant facades. That’d look amazing.
Yes. Needs lots of Flegs!!!
GREAT GOB !! WHSH TO BE THERE. ONE DAY !!! well one day again …. With sand bags , little advice, when you do them even at the end when you press them to piles use fabric with good looking texture . this way you get more natural looking sandbags and its easier to paint them too as paint wash and drybrush really makes them to stand out, @warzan use in to paint your lights. it will loo exactly as you want, you can add layers of in and pigment will not build up like with wash blocking light and… Read more »
it looks Awsome, love the plans with the lighting, and great work John, keep the Mad world of Terrain painting going. 🙂
Absolutely cracking progress chaps.Is @dignity still sane from all the cutting and shaping of floor spaces ? I think i heard @johnlyons heart drop from his chest as @lloyd and @warzan chatted about going back over the Sector Imperialis boards…
Are there plans to do the windows? Blast some out maybe? Panes of glass solid color with some light streaks, no need to go all stained glass. Blast charring around the broken bits? I’d like to see you fight the 18 foot length, not across the usual, kinda boring multiple 4 foot widths. And the buildings are a little too tall for that. That way you can have maneuvering on Saturday with minor skirmishes, then culminating the battle with a slugfest on Sunday. I know you have a fair number of people planned, but I’ve played Apocalypse in the past… Read more »
I thought we used water to stop putty from sticking.
Daz is air dried clay and it tends in my experience anyway to dry out really quickly
Im saying it here first. I think On table top could recreate the notre dame out of archon terrain at a 1:1 scale!
It’s much easier now that chunks of it burned down
Harsh,but funny @avernos ,harsh but funny.
are you implying it was burnt down so someone could build a 1:1 scale model more easily ?
😉
it’s why I did it
Tamiya Clear Red would sort those lights!
brilliant work guys John is this the planet of new mecca with the chaos chapter Necromongers the main attacking forces.
PS I love the lights you can use some creep paper to give a range of colours to the build lights.
I greatly appreciate that even in the far flung future, where death comes in many horrible, quick and gruesome ways, that there is still a place for the humble sandbag to provide some defence. Imagine your enemy’s surprise as that plasma blast hits and dissipates to still see you there, protected by your trusty sandbag emplacement. 🙂
Get yourselves a cotton wardrobe similar to Argos 621/9826 as a painting booth, get white. I have been using one for over a year and its great. After spraying, zip it closed and it prevents the place smelling and the models being contamated.
John, you have done an epick board matching set.
I didn’t think it was going to be able to do the whole area in time, but you have and its EPICK so well-done boy well done.
Johnny Lyons, the underappreciated straight man of OnTableTop.
i like the way he says (I’ll ask the wife) AKA she who must be obeyed. something all married war gamers will face at some point lol
Where’s Part 6? WHAR update?
Loving all this Brother Lloyd content. His enthusiasm is enchanting.
