Image
Hey its been a while but as we approach the starting point of the campaign ive been working on the map and terrain for it. Here's what I've got so far. The fortress monastery, with orbital defense gun. Looks pretty cool. this is a view of the back. This is a view of the side. Just the defense laser itself the map of the planet sipho. Sci-fi generator thing All and all things are coming together.

Prepping for a campaign with terrain!

Image
Well my last campaign was a so so event, a major learning experience, and this time around I've made it so that I won't being directly participating. But with the new gaming club a little understocked I've decided to contribute in a major way. Terrain! So one thing we really need is a jungle terrain theme. So here's my efforts at that. All of these peices have a steel washer affixed to the underside. I am considering that this could then be affixed magnetically to the base using magnetic strips, which will help to keep them together. I also needed something like an evil shrine to be the site of some cultist worship. That is all carved from pink foam except for the skull which is a cardboard skull from a halloween sale a michaels hobby and craft store. I need to paint it up but it should have some nice jungle features added to it. Lastly I've been getting a kind of generatorum complex together using humus containers and hot glue and sequins...

I dont have the back story to this game but I went to the hobby bunker in malden a few weeks ago and saw this. Dont have the whole story, but think there was an epic battle for an STC that two factions were fighting over.

November is the cruelest month...

Some new tidings to report on. Unfortunately fate has conspired against me for the past month meaning I haven't been able to get to play using my Dark Angles much but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. I've mainly been working some terrain projects. Creating a jungle forest, river system and a temple of desecration. Here is some of the photos of the jungle. I wanted to make some jungle terrain which meant trees and some shrubbery. I really like the look that they have on the Tau Wahammer world board. These are nice for a couple reasons: all the trees are about the same height and they are all shorter than the tallest building giving a sence of scale. I would have loved to recreate these but I couldn't find those leaves anywhere. They are big broad and leafy. but I found something close, and then I found stuff at michaels that was more palm tree like so I went with it. giving me this.
