Mordjinn Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 After a short break we decided to return to Malifaux. Instead of going for the Terraclips I decided to build a table since we have quite a lot of terrain to go with it. The table is a official Malifaux size 3'x3' (91,5cm x 91,5cm). First I draw a plan on a piece of paper, scanned it and finished with photoshop to get an idea what I'm going to do. The table is made out from 5cm thick foam I found from the trash. The cobblestone is made with some fake leather (=plastic) canvas I had lying around. Decided not to attach the higher level to make modifying the table easier. I painted the base colors with Folk Art acrylic paints. And took some bigger picts. Then I washed the whole table with really thin black paint.

Mordjinn Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Here's a picture of the table after the wash dried. After some furious drybrushing and a new black wash the base level of the table is ready. The cobblestone texture came out quite nice and as the material is a bit rubbery it is really great to play on. Of course the new table needed to be played on immediately. The buildings are print out card buildings from Daves Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordjinn Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Here's couple of WIPs of the higher level piece and the fence test. I'm scratch building the fence and planned to attach it directly to the level piece, but in the end decided against it. The stairs are 25mm wide, so they hold a normal size Malifaux miniature nicely. Smaller realistic looking stairs would be nice, but I wanted to keep the whole board as playable as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Whoa, that looks awesome. Great idea to use the fake leather print as cobblestones. If I see something around of similar make I may steal your idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regnak Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Good show sir! Looking great so far. One of these days I'll get of my little green ass and get a board done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Awesome , def would love to play on that fine table . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordjinn Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 And here's the finished second level. Will upload some pictures of the whole table together when we play next time. The house is the painting test building for my scratch built village set. It has just the base colors, so there's a lot of washing, highlighting and detail stuff to be done so it will fit the table's "dirtyness".

Punchausen Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Dude, this is all kinds of awesome... where did you get the 'cobblestone' fake leather canvas from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordjinn Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Dude, this is all kinds of awesome... where did you get the 'cobblestone' fake leather canvas from? Thanks mate. I bought the cobblestone-canvas from a boutique in Mexico City for 1,5 dollars and still have quite a lot left. I could imagine any bigger canvas stores have something similar. Just keep your eyes open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwinn Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I salute you for the hard work you have put in this creation. Its very exciting to see the way junk has been used to create something worthwhile. I hope its a modified form of recycling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
