Terrain Tutorial: Mucky Swamp

Inspired by my Mariner base, I wanted to create a nice swamp terrain piece for my Warmachine boards.  I have made some of these in the past but with much more crude techniques- so I wanted to "take it to the next level".  The project was a simple one ...

Terrain Tutorial: Rocky Outcroppings

Recently I completed a "Rocky Outcropping" piece of difficult terrain for my Warmachine battlefields. It is mainly comprised of blue styrofoam(2") boulders plastered with Liquitex Stucco(for the stone effect). I designed the piece not as a solid obstacle but to allow for the movement of minis through the terrain(with ...

Rural Homestead Terrain

I recently completed a small "Rural Homestead" which consists of a small cottage with adjoining stone walls on a slight elevation. It has a squarish base as I was going for the "wargamey" over "realism" approach. Below are some stills, but if you scroll down you can see a four part tutorial on how ...

Terrain Tutorial: Warjack Repair Shop

I have completed a six part video tutorial for how to make a Warjack Repair Shop for your Warmachine battlefield.  Though I suppose the regular armies of Khador and Cygnar have their own, advanced facilities for mechanics, I pictured a small row-house type garage where locals service 'jacks that are 'just passing through' their town.  ...

Market Terrain Bits

Most wargamers know that there's a lot of great terrain products, including small details(sandbags, barrels, crates, etc.), out on the market.  Although I am a consistent consumer of those items(love the Pegasus Hobbies pieces) myself, I sought to 'homebrew' a few bits myself to showcase some inexpensive alternatives.  Below are some pics of items I ...

Warmachine Terrain Project: " ‘Jack Trap"

As a guy who loves terrain-building almost as much as painting Warmachine minis, my eye is always scanning for new scenery ideas.  While browsing the beautiful image of Beast 09(Khador Heavy Warjack) on page 79 of the Forces of Warmachine: Khador book, I noticed a nice terrain element as part of the artist's rendering: I ...

Terrain Tutorial: Warmachine Crates

There's many great crates out there for use in miniature wargames.  Pegasus Hobbies makes affordable resin sets, many wargames terrain companies make nice casts, and on eBay you'll find some neat custom pieces.  Of course, you'll spot many fine examples in the Privateer Press source material as well(Mark II Rulebook, No Quarter Mag., etc.).  I ...

Ancient Ruins Terrain for Warmachine

I have decided to post some video and pics of my Ancient Ruins terrain usable in Warmachine games. The design concept was to create a set of pieces that could be reconfigured in multiple ways to create original battlefields each time. The narrative is that these ruins date well before the Iron Kingdoms, ...
