senji Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I just finished up this board for a local event. Eventually I'll add a couple of shacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Holy Crap! Now that is a table! I'd love the honor of being able to play on something that pretty! Your work there is appreciated over here for sure. How long did it take you to complete that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron M Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yep water looks very convincing, would be reluctant to put a gremlin on it in case he got wet feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senji Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks! The board took about 5 days to finish. Some of my friends helped out making the trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexlg89 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 It's beautiful =) how did you make the water? I have to build a table too soon and it would be very great if there will be water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senji Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thank you for the complements everyone! Alexlg89- The water is made using resin, lot's of resin. I like it since it adds depth to the board. In some areas it's over 3/4" deep. I'll be making new evil trees for the board soon, and a shack. Anyone have any other ideas?

adlerhobby Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 awesome work what type of resin did you use ? single pour or two part and who makes it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucemanning Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Awesome . Isnt it good not to have to worry about the dreaded dice bounce ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 It's a beautiful board, very nicely done. In addition to shacks, maybe some creepy type ruins, obelisk, type things and a bridge. That is my only question, for actual game play does all of the water slow things down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterdita Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Awesome board there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Holy crap that is awesome!!! All it's missing is a row boat, and a few houses on stilts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senji Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 adler hobby- the resin is a clear resin. Atticus- I forgot to show the bridge in the pictures. I made two really simple ones. Thanks for the ideas, maybe I'll try an obelisk. Omenbringer- A row boat sounds like a good idea. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 one word Stilt houses. OK thats two but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkin Vain Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Great work as always Pat. It was a pleasure helping you with it and even more of pleasure to play on it with Adam. Can't wait for your next piece of terrain work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Excellent Pat. I'm glad you are finally building Malifaux terrain! I think some of your weathering technique with the shacks would be great. Also, there are frequently old relics from the previous (well current but now in a different form) inhabitants of Malifaux. So stone ruins are good. Also crazy archaic structures would possibly be buried half way into the swamp. Good stuff man! (P.S. It's great to have another Terrainthrall haunting these parts! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin Swarm Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 It was a lot of fun to play on. The 2 bridges Senji mentioned are movable, too, so it's possible to fiddle with the setup a bit. (The docks are set.) For one of the games we did at the demo, we had the little islands with the alligators count as dangerous (make a damage flip) for any model that got within 1". Lots of potential for custom 'setup', even though most of the features are stationary. (Count the water as severe (or maybe even dangerous), allow lone models on the 'gator islands to send them out to attack (spell--cc-14, rst-df, range-6", damage 2/3/4, if casting fails caster takes a 2/3/4 damage flip)... (I'm getting carried away, aren't I?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senji Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hey Larkin and Gremlin Swarm you can use the table for demos anytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theHman Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Swuuuuweeeeet swamp gremlins! That is just awesome. I'd say the only thing you need to add to the board is some terrain that blocks LOS. Others mentioned shacks on stilts, and/or ancient stone ruins. I think both would add an insane amount of character to the board it would be a shame not to do them both. Also, perhaps adding in a couple of moveable small bit of LOS blocking terrain like a rusted and broken down tractor or machinery bits here and there.

Gremlin Swarm Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Maybe a couple of big stands of reeds on independent bases? They could be parked just about anywhere (though they'd look best right near the 'shore'). They could be used on any 'wet'/freshwater/swamp-type board, too.

Heldrak Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 One hesitates to give advice to such an expert, but since you did ask... 1. I think that a still would be an excellent, characterful piece of terrain for this board (So'merteeth has to get his 'shine from somewhere...). 2. Other pieces of stereotypical "Hilbilly-themed" terrain might also be fun- Roadside fruit & vegetable stand, rusted-out car(s), outhouse, smokehouse, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senji Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks for the ideas Heldrak. I just finished up a dozen trees for my swamp board. This is what the forest looks like when they wake up at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
