psychogeek Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 gorgeous. The individual pieces as the cobblestones give it a very realistic feel. I love how you did the water. Probably the most realistic water I have seen to date on a gaming board (color+texture) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klatschi Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks for your nice replies, I'm glad you like my table :-) Quote where do the lampposts and crates come from, what do you mean by filling the gap with acrylics, and what type of resin did you use for the water ? The lamp posts are bought at a small German table top supply shop called Thomarillion http://thomarillion.de/ The Crates are bought at another German shop called Tabletop Art: http://www.tabletop-art.de/ The resin I used was bought on ebay, I didn't use epoxy resin used for miniatures and terrain but for wood floors and things like that - in the end, it's the same product but you pay more, when you buy it for modelling, at least the offers I saw were much more expensive. I want to fill the gap with acrylics, it's like silicone but used in kitchens and you can buy it in a dark grey. I want to fill the gap because it remains a weak spot of my table - think about moving things around, they get stuck on the rims of the gap and slowly, the tiles will come off and so forth. Therefore, I planned on sealing it to make it more durable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Will sealing the gap not cause a problem when you fold the table up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR TORGUE Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 absolutely beautiful board. What did you use for the river effect. I have a plan for my own board this year and you've certainly given me food for thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snitchythedog Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Very nice board. Well thought out and executed. On 06/02/2016 at 0:13 PM, MR TORGUE said: absolutely beautiful board.

I have a plan for my own board this year and you've certainly given me food for thought Spoiler From the edge of the water in this image it looks like he used Envirotex Lite or something similar. It is a resin used to cover tabletops with a clear surface. It is available over here on Amazon and not prohibitively expensive. A good tutorial for doing the water is provided by Hirst Arts. Linkey Just remember to pour it in thin layers. That allows you to build up the depth and gives an even surface. If you pour thick it will develop a visible concave meniscus. Hope that helps.

klatschi Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks for your kind replies. Unfortunately, real life strickes again (we are building a house and spend a lot of time looking for kitchens and stuff), therefore I haven't done anything the past days. @lusciousmccabe As soon as the acrylics will settle, I'm cutting them with a sharp knife; therefore, the table will be flippable again but the gap has some filling. @MR TORGUE @snitchythedog is right, it's done exactly that way. I put some green paint into the resin and sprinkled some mixed herbs onto the water to simulate algae and leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2Cat Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Nice board there! I sniped a pair of portal gates on both sides of the river. Are there any houserules to use them? About filling the gap: Try to cover one of the sides of the gap with divider (potato starch/talc/any other powder) it will help to detach acrylic filler when it dries.

Carter Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 To cut out all those little cardboard squares! You have the patience of a saint sir! Board Looks GREAT! good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatschi Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thank you very much for your nice replies :-) I thought about using the gates as connections. You simply walk through an come out at the other side. This can alter the gameplay very much, so it is only used in scenarios. I thought about expanding the idea by buying more terrain fitting this concept: For example, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/awakenrealms/awakening-gaming-terrain Maybe I buy the floating crystal set, it could suit the table very nicely by giving more "other-world"-feeling to it. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrehorseman Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I love it so much. You got me wanting to make something similar. Is this your first Malifaux board or do you have an Old West one yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatschi Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Oh my gosh, I completely forgot about this topic here. @spectrehorseman No, but I am planning on one :-) A lot has been done in the meantime: I moved and build a house currently, so not much time left for the hobby. Nevertheless I managed to finish the table some time during autumn and had my first game on it (!) last weekend. But that threw me completely back on the Malifaux-hook, therefore there may be expected more to come :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewaltatron Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 sehr schön! I love the board, very thematic. how did it work out playing on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatschi Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thanks, the board plays really nice (although it was a one-timer so far). Of course, the canal on one side, hinders some movement and there are a lot of alleyways, but neither my buddy and me play Seamus ;-) It was a fun game :-) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB76 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Wow! What a project. Fantastic work. Where did you get the statues from? The trees are from 4Ground I guess? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatschi Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks a ton :-) The trees are bought from Noch, a German distributor for model railroad stuff: http://shop.noch.de/produkt-kategorien/baeume-buesche-fuer-dioramen-modell-landschaften-und-modelleisenbahn-anlagen/profi-baume/laubbaeume/21802.html I decided to gor for more expensive trees this time but taking tall ones. I didn't want a board with trees that are maybe twice as big as a miniature.. The statues are bought from thomarillion, again a German shop that has a lot of nice terrain-articles. And I like supporting small companies ;-) http://www.thomarillion.de/?page=catalog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a ton; although I feel my board does not match the quality of your city board ;-) Your vine-overgrown buildings are simply breathtaking! We had another game yesterday: I am planning on increasing my collection of terrain with the upcoming Renedra Fences and some advertising colums. I've found beautiful posters (http://www.beastsofwar.com/wolsung-ssg/put-posters-wolsung-tables/) I want to distribute here and there. Maybe I'll try to lay my hands on a Garden of Morrs Set, too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatlatinspeakingguy Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 oh man, this is simply stunning. but what I like the most is that one of you is a former Legend of the Five Rings player, as I can infer from Crane clan mon on the top of the hat of one model (is that Kang?) shifting from the best card game to the best miniature game - seems legit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
