Some old west themed Malifaux terrain I've been working on. These first few are pretty simple, soon I'd like to start adding steam punk elements at some point.
First few. I made the two out houses and some fences first. Then the little house. I made a base for the house from blue house insulation foam (extruded polystyrene). During a game the house can be removed the just the base used to mark the position. This way models can easily be move around "inside" the house or it can be easily removed and replaced to measure LOS or range. I marked the door (double-thick) and windows (single-thick) with brown wood grain strips.
This is my next attempt. I'l make a base for it just like the first one, but have no plans to represent the second story. Maybe on my next one I'll do separate stories. These first two have been pretty simple test runs.
Construction is pretty simple. A couple years ago I bought some PDF files for making paper terrain, and whipped up enough buildings for several tables for Malifaux tournaments I was running.
For those of you unfamiliar; paper terrain is terrain made by printing a pre-decorated design on paper then cutting, folding, pasting to make a 3D piece of terrain. I printed the designs onto card stock and once build reinforced it with corrugated cardboard. I recommend this for any henchmen in need of terrain. I could whip one out if a couple of hours, once reinforced with cardboard they are pretty durable. Unless abused I could see them lasting for years. They are also easy to transport. Since they are just paper and cardboard you can stack them in bin with no padding and not worry about them damaging each other and are very light.
Any way. I decided to take a few to the next level. So I glued wood coffee stir sticks and parts made from insulation foam to them. At some point I'll probably build some with removable rooves, decorated interiors, etc.
