Massive 40K Apocalypse Gaming Table Build [Part Six]
August 6, 2019 by lloyd
In just under a week the 40k Weekend will strike and we couldn't be more excited and also nervous to get things underway.
See More From The Apocalypse Table Build
The massive Apocalypse table is coming together very nicely, all the Archon Terrain has been painted up, stained and burnt to a crisp using a variety of The Army Painter primer sprays and a nice dollop of Bicarbonate Soda.
With the excess amount of amazing sand bags that our dear friend @buggeroff from the site made during his stay, we've taken them off the biscuits to tease the idea of using them as proper scatter terrain around some of the structural integrity of the buildings, plus with a few extra little and large sacks from our resident John, they'll be sure to make the landscape as real as it can be over the weekend.
Justin's also finishing off the floorboards for the city landscape, adding in some cracked areas and dropping the floors to resemble a little more destruction in the areas, why would the floors look clean when the walls are damaged? 😉
Remember YOU can also get involved this weekend by creating your own projects at www.ontabletop.com using the tag for the Warhammer 40k Weekend. You can also view all the projects here

Sadly because it’s the last weekend of the school summer holyday here in Lower Saxony I’m bound by some other family activities. One being the 93rd birthday of my grandma on Sunday and (with any luck) a trip to a medieval festival on Saturday. I’d really wanted to call in via Skype and do a bad German/English impression.
So bicarb and superglue can make something that is floppy stiff? Who knew?
And with a nice warm feeling
i love what you have made, iam so enoyed that i cant be there with my Raven Guard 5`th, keep up the great work guys 🙂
I think that it’s all coming together. Every bit of colour variation does wonders.
Are the banners hung up after the devastation (in an in game world narrative sense i mean)? Rough them up a bit maybe?
dangly bits, tiny sacks and rubbing …
A big building in the middle
and a big hole with more flappy dangly bits ? … *eh*
yep, it’s OTT alright 😉
If you had more time, you could make simple rebars using cut up paper clips from the destroyed sections of flooring.
Looking really nice. Well done lads. 🙂
That might pose an impaling hazard, but, Blood for the Blood God. And Warren’s already given the pre-requisite blood sacrifice for the project’s success.
OTT bakeoff idea. Super glue bicarb, one hour and kit bashing terrain. Then Mr Hollywood comes in and handshakes everyone 10/10 would watch
love the terrain your making wish I could be their to play on the tables guys.
WOW what an epic table can’t wait to see people gaming on it!
But my goodness @warzan get to bed man! I’d say to do it before you hurt yourself but well it’s a little late for that 🙂
Beat to fit.
Paint to match.
If you need a wallpaper scraper to scoop it up, that is what’s known as a selfish line 😉
More great stuff guys, top notch
Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Maybe you guys could do a fly through of the whole table. Especially when the lights are all set up.
Also you now have a bunch of 28mm terrain with the sand bags and bunkers. BA or some K47 will be great.
Absolutely awesome progress chaps.Apart from his floor destruction work,has @lloyd taken a more ” supervisory ” role on the end run ? I only ask because he seems a lot fresher than the rest of the team ? ( of course this could be down to his terrain making enthusiasm,but i had to ask ).
will be with you the whole weekend on screen – it is so exiting – i restart reading the whole 40 k stuff – by the way – what material the sandsbacks made of ?
@andrax They are made from white Das, which is an air drying clay. I think Part 5 has site member @buggeroff showing how he made them.
thx man – saw how hi did it , but did not know from what
That’s correct White Das as per John the tank God’s instruction ?
Clearly needs the sound of bolter fire and explosions in the buildings hidden away and smoke/mist drifting across it…just to give you more to do.
Nice to see wayne with all that coke……
One more step into the breach my friends one more till d-weekender 40k starts.
When all hell breaks out.
So nice
So good
So much brilliant ideas.
@warzan you going to add any city rubble mix? Wanna know how it’s done.
The resin junk is from Kraken Wargames. It’s bloody lovely. You can see my project here https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1360061/
Thanks lads. They were fun to build ??
