Legions Imperialis Board Is Finally DONE!

[@kz4q66]

It is hard for me to hold my tear at the end of your video. My son Nam, aka Viet Win, did not have a chance to see your complete project, but both of his mon and dad did. Your exceptional artistic talent and storytelling abilities are evident throughout the project. We are honored that our son was able to contribute, even in a small way, to such an impressive project.

[@BUNKER6]

I sadly only just saw this message. Hence the late reply. But thank you for watching. It breaks my heart knowing what your family must have gone through. If one of my sons is even a fraction as talented and hard working as Nam was then I shall be a very proud father. If you need anything please let me know ❤️🙏

@@BUNKER6 someone linked me this, and its an awesome build. Im hoping to do the same, and then also a Necromunda one. How did you create those domed buildings tho? I see one of them is an adaptation of existing terrain, but the huge one? What went into that?

I will send you an Instagram message of how that was done. Just don’t want to get anyone in trouble… looking forward to seeing your Necromunda build too. Loved that game ever since it first released. Cheers 🙏

Sensei Swag (Viet Winn) was a helluva guy. He had a studio and one of his employees (Rachel) keeps it going. He sadly passed away in an auto accident about a year ago. The hobby lost an amazing champion when he left us. =( He’d have been floored by your creation and honored he was the inspiration!

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

This is a great looking table. It is really nice to see a city laid out that looks like it is still a functioning district and not a bombed out wreck. Excellent work. Glad you stuck with it, even if the circumstances were sad. Gotta say though, 28mm is no way close to current GW "normal" size for 40k and AoS - they are more like 35mm these days (works out got the same scale creep up as the Epic range from 6 to 8mm)

[@BUNKER6]

Thanks for watching and your kind words! There is always time for bombed ruins ha ha. Interesting to learn about the scale issues in 40k I don’t play it so I must have missed the change up. But no you mention it I guess primaris really pushed the scale thing. Smaller is better!

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

@@BUNKER6 Smaller is better, says the fella with a 6 foot long epic scale city! 🤣 But yeah, I know what you mean. And as for you talking to Luetin about building an Epic scale Hive? Yes please! 8mm Necromunda would be amazing!

[@6mmwargames]

I wanted to write that you did a wonderful job and that I envy you, but the end of the video switched the tone by 180 and left me speechless (which is a good thing, but it's hard to write in a positive way). I'll finish off with a mix of condolences, congratulations and a hope that one day I will be able to play a game with you on that lovely board!

[@BUNKER6]

Thank you for noticing the editing. I didn’t really mean it to come out that way. But when my wife said the long shot of the Imperial Aquila being lined up with the change of tone worked perfectly. I hadn’t even noticed until she said anything. Then I basically had to skip that part every time I was working on the end section because I was stupidly getting emotional. It’s so bizarre that I feel this strongly about someone passing away that I didn’t know at all. I think the combination of being in the middle of my life, my boyhood dreams and knowing all the things Viet won’t get to do made the ending really deep for me. It was a homage to him by the end of making the board and video rather than my initial goal of just making a cool board. Thank you for watching and if you’re ever in Utah with an epic or LI army hit me up. 🤙

[@Sun_Catcher_Prints]

[@superpatatine4415]

Through this video, I discover two things: a fabulous work for an exceptional table around Adeptus Titanicus/Legion Imeprialis and the tragic loss of Sensei Swag. I discovered his crazy work a few years ago, a truly exceptional superhuman artist whose work is beyond belief in both its quantity and quality, who died so young. I am speechless 😥...

Stunning! Chock full of unique builds! You could always break up the city grid lines of sight with a couple of fallen/destroyed titans. Maybe a tank ‘graveyard’ piece with a handful of destroyed tanks on it too?

This is a brilliant idea!! Thank you for watching David 🫡

[@TheRendar]

Beautiful work ! Excellent work

[@BUNKER6]

Thank you so very much 🙏

[@oskar6661]

It's a laudable goal, and a nice result on the table. I'm definitely on the "too much grid" side of things, but it'll still provide a decent game. If it's modular enough I think a small port (either water or space/aero) would be a nice add. One or two elevation areas, perhaps with some overhead roads or train systems could be really cool. To break up the gothic monotony, even a small park feature would add a nice splash of colour, etc.

[@BUNKER6]

Thanks Oskar for your great input! All wonderful ideas.

[@daryleasom]

Looks very impressive, Congratulations on actually finish this giant project. please do a battle report on the table.

[@volcano3493]

Impressive terrain. I went the other way with my Legions Imperialis board and used almost the same terrain pieces which were reserved for 30K/40K: Flat hills, rock formations and craters painted in a Martian scheme. This approach was not only cheap but also quick to build and paint. Not every LI battle happens in a city and GW tries to brainwash customers into thinking that by always portraying their LI minis being deployed in city landscapes in order to sell you street tiles and buildings.

[@BUNKER6]

Sadly the brain washing didn’t work too well on me. Hand crafted my own tiles and only used recasted or 3D printed buildings and spires apart from the manufactorum stuff. But I’d love to see what you came up with. Sounds fun for sure and hey, thanks for watching 🫡

[@FantastoricalHobbies]

Fantastic achievement

[@BUNKER6]

Really appreciated. Thank you so much for watching.

[@Digitalfiendscom]

So glad I found your channel...what an absolutely stunning board! I love how you went all cinematic with the presentation. Did you use a slider by chance for some of those shot? I went HEAVY into Legions Imperialis but haven't done much in terms of assembling the units as I have mainly been focusing on the terrain. I even bought the Civitas Road tiles (I know, I know) as I wanted to cut them up and make some more interesting grid patterns. As for the buildings, I've got a mix of GW and GDT. I think everyone has printed the domed building as well...don't want to mention the artist's account but it's a great model and pretty much a like-for-like with the GW kits. Have you seen the Sector Imperialis terrain that a modeller did for 28mm scale? It works extremely well at LI scale too. I really like your paint scheme ... going to have to check out your other painting videos.

[@BUNKER6]

Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching! Yes I used a remote slider for a majority of the shots. I have been slammed with real life stuff hence no new content for a while. But I’m close to wrapping some projects to hopefully I can get back to the channel then. I’m not familiar with the Sector Imperialis prints. Would be great to see them!

So how’s it going? Started painting up the troops yet? I’ve finished all the buildings (around 150). Now it’s on to the floor tiles - all 54 of them.

Well done! That sounds like a vast amount of work!! Can’t wait to see it! I have had to finish a big painting commission which has stalled my troop painting. I’ve nearly wrapped the commission though. Sadly this channel does not pay the bills so it’s one of the last things to take priority. But I hope to keep the quality high when I do finally get round to making the videos. Thanks for your patience!

[@garfieldwithissuez]

The mold making process is not time consuming at all it's actually relatively easy with only a small learning curve. On top of that will Games Workshop harass you if you make tutorial videos on casting their products and reproducing them? Of course but they have no legal standing to have the videos taken down or do more than send you angry letters because at the end of the day all you would be doing is explaining an artistic process using materials that are freely available for purchase and that are used in the industry already. Unless you start making copies and distributing them Games Workshop has nothing. Now that said I would like to remind everybody that Games Workshop is a terribly toxic company that is abusive to its stockists and its consumer base so at the end of the day it is better to either purchase a 3D printer, by recasts online, or buy models used and then recast them yourself

[@BUNKER6]

Thanks for watching and thanks for your input. I agree that some mold making is easy. It depends on the part. Funnels, angles, type of mold for the type of part and dealing with holes successfully. Your understanding of the legal system is interesting to me. Having been in a legal dispute lasting over 8 years. I have seen cease and desist letters and take down requests sent to KZbin creators for merely making a candle mold out of warhammer terrain quite recently. All anyone has to do is file a claim in a small claims court for any reason they feel like with zero proof and it then becomes your duty to defend against any claims made against you. If you do not adhere to this you will have a summary judgment set against you and will be obligated to pay fees in line with what ever the judge decides. I refuse to even begin to entertain such a legalistic attack made against me whether it’s on this channel or in any other aspect of my life. You are looking at a minimum cost of 10k to even file for dismissal or make denials and defenses against such potential claims. This does not include the excruciating amount of time the UK court system takes to process anything. I have a deep and personal experience with the UK courts and I have great experience dealing with the most insane claims made against me that I still had to spend thousands to prove to be wrong. GW could bankrupt literally any creator they see fit just by forcing them into defending spurious claims made against them. They can make an endless list of claims and even if the case is thrown out it still costs you thousands to defend against the claims not to mention stress and time spent. The judge will not always award you damages greater than the costs you have spent either. This is barely scratching the surface on the process. But I get it GW is a bad company etc etc. I honestly don’t care. If a normie wants to buy things full price to then later sell on eBay to someone like myself for half the price then that’s fine by me. GW has always had issues some worse than others. Any company becomes scummy the moment you go public sadly. I’m not minimizing GW’s antics. Just merely contextualizing them. Furthermore please feel free to post your own videos on recasting GW products in the greatest detail possible! I wish you all the luck in the world and I salute your bravery. Cheers 🫡

[@garfieldwithissuez]

@@BUNKER6 yeah they cant do that where I'm located. The best they could hope is to get KZbin to take down the video. Sometimes I forget that Europe is the birthplace of garbage garbage bureaucracy and that not all places protect individual free speech the same way. I might have to make some tutorials though, as I've got close to 20 years experience casting and mold making. I just doubt anyone wants to see my ugly mug on video. Lol

[@BUNKER6]

@garfieldwithissuez yes the UK is brutal with legal stuff. It’s beyond a joke. It’s doubly frustrating for me as I am a UK citizen living the the US, so defending any sort of claim immediately becomes way more complicated. Finding a Barrister with knowledge in this area is so difficult without face to face contact I find. GW knows they have the power in almost all of these situations. The only way I could take the route you initially mentioned would be if I had “eff you money” and took them on just because I could. Sadly I am not in that situation. I’d like to think that I did include your recommendations at the end of your first comment. Half of the buildings are 3D printed and the rest are my own recasts pretty much. Please do not think I am in any way sucking up to GW. I just know what is on the other end of this legal BS in the UK and it’s nearly bankrupted me one despite winning the case. That’s the other thing. Even if you win there is pretty much no way of enforcing payment outside of spending more money to force bankruptcy on the person not paying. It’s an absolute mess and always be nights the person making the claim over the defendant.

I was referring to the grid like structure of the city. I also stated it was a vertical slice. This is not an entire city. But a small section of one. This is also fictional. But seems as I have you here for a second. Do you not understand what this board is for? It is a gaming board not a 1:1 copy of a city. It still has to have utility for the game that is supposed to be played on it which in this case is Legions Imperialis. If you have seen any other boards for this game you will know that they rarely get this complex. So I am very happy with defining this as a city when contrasted with even Games Workshops own efforts for this particular game board. But please carry on being obnoxious big boy. I’ve got all day 🫡
