Just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying your videos. Feels like I’m sitting down with a buddy and just having a chat. I stumbled across your channel a few weeks back while trying to find any quality content in the drought that is LI content and now I’m looking forward to every time you post

@@andrewmueller1259 that’s awesome! Thanks for sitting with me. I’ve got some more videos planned, but if there’s any topics in particular you’d be interested in let me know. I need to get a little better about the frequency of posts.

Terrain was actually one I was looking forward to. I’ve been struggling to put in to words with my player group some of the stuff you mentioned in the video, in particular the need to have different tables to encourage list variety. It would be cool to some other ideas for other styles of terrain. I’m personal working on an air field map and have had a long time dream of making a sea post map where titans can walk out of the ocean.

@@andrewmueller1259 oh yeah, those are fun ideas. At some point I’ll need to branch out my terrain collection

Would love to see more epic scale diy terrain builds that aren’t the absurdly ambitious imperial palace project. I started making little 6” plates of various terrain to scatter between the generic GW buildings, and they’ve been a blast to design. I scaled down 28mm stl assets for a resin printer to get little heaps of garbage, barrels, burned out cars, shanty town hab units, etc. variety, man, let’s see variety

@@devinforsyth8642 I’ve got a few ideas. Would you want to see more of the custom buildings using the civitas kit, or is that not enough DIY?

[@davidwasilewski]

I’m filling my table (6’ by 9’) with 10 of the big sector civitas boxed sets, 6 ruin and 4 industrial boxed sets, plus some resin printed buildings. It’s taken several months but now it’s all built and about 80% painted! Then it’ll be on to painting 9 boxes of the GW city road sets.

@@davidwasilewski that’s a lot of terrain, and a huge table. What sized games are you planing on playing with it?

[@davidwasilewski]

@@EagleSpireGaming I have a permanent set up that can be left one week to the next. For this reason we tend to play bigger games. Sometimes multiplayer. For larger, all dayer games, Two players a side, 3k each. Or two players each with 6k (when the armies are all finished anyway). So 12k on the table. But we also play smaller one v one games on a 6 by 4 sometimes.

@@davidwasilewski that is beautiful, and I’m all about those larger games
