Had a nice idea with all those fine terrain pieces coming in. Why not start a thread for what we use alongside our models?

So here we go:

SoC terrain competition

I can't provide more than the Honor actually, may change if requested.

-1) we will collect pics of your entrys in a seperate thread.
-2) you have the whole summer to show off, since fine weather may slow down some of us
-3) suggested end date: october 09. ( I am open to suggestions, could expand or keep it endless )
-4) have to insist that you own what you post. Do not try to fool us with "photoshopped" or "borrowed" pics.
-5) entrys may consist of products of GW or FW, still other companies are also welcome.
a little description at your pic may help us to identify and other gamers may benefit from sources you have found too.

What should I enter?

anything considered terrain. Thougth of these "drawers":

official 40k:
- Cities of death buildings. Must not be imperial, could be xenos stuff too. Places to live and work.
- Planetstrike terrain. From a single bunker to a planetwide fortress. The army stuff.
- barricades, craters, wrecks, bridges, trenches, firing positions. All those small pieces to add some detail.

personal 40k:
- open category for pure scratch builds of the above 3 .

environment and gaming tables:
- natural terrain. Hills, woods, swamp, desert, mountains, rivers,...

how to seperate the entrys?

- category A: was ready built , i have painted it.
- category B: built/converted a kit and painted it.
- category C: required non-wargaming material, slapped it together and painted it.


Sounds complicated? But it isn't.

I'll provide a thread where you put your pic and a small informative text.
When we got our work collected and time runs out ( date not set yet ), I'll provide a poll for everyone to vote on the entries.
To differ into 3 "levels of achievement" seems fair to me.

Goal: to remind of the other pieces, these not getting the glory of the fight, but stand there and suffer.
Its not "that tlos blocker", a lot of the gaming environment is also a fine piece of modelling experience.



examples:
40k GW or FW kits

non 40k kits recruted to serve

resin parts


disclaimer:

Its all Fhad's fault. So complain and whine at the PM adress provided under this post.
Remember i'm fire resistent, so flaming won't work

Before I forget, one person will not join or participate and thats me.
I may provide examples, but those will not participate in the final voting.


Comment away.

woot terrain, love the stuff, (even if im too busy painting my army to do it) may very well

was thinking of making a gaming table anyways so may just have to notch it up a level.
