Warhammer 40,000 Battlefield (8x4ft) Modular Terrain Table

Tour de force. It doesn't look painted. It looks like what you probably hoped it would. Superb verisimilitude.

[@KnarbMakes]

That's a monumental project. Love the chill retrospective vibe to the showcase.

[@xLAZY666]

I always come back to this video every few months, the table is so dope.

[@SteveFamine]

Thanks! I really need to get back to making terrain next year. I've been working on a Kings of War army / took a quick break from 40k

[@marcoherreras6536]

Mindblowing, thanks a lot for sharing. Also inspiring in the « don’t lose the simplicity and coherence focus part », and always aimed at having fun. Will share like crazy.

[@SteveFamine]

Thanks. The video is alright and I have a lot to improve. Hopefully this table spawn a number of project and battle reports for content now! I think I'll have like a weekly hobby ramble video alongside terrain stuff

[@steves9305]

Problem is: METAgamers are not playing on tables like this anymore. Amazing Work!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

What a lovely board man! Every little piece of it is just stunning! Definitely excited to see what's next!

[@SteveFamine]

Thanks!

[@garvinschulz1438]

Awesome, just awesome. I'll have to use some of your ideas. Thanks

[@benhayden9198]

Amazing work Steve! Absolutely stunning, a constant inspiration for me. Thank you for sharing!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@ScaleHangar182]

Really awesome stuff mate.

[@ChocoHearts]

Eric sent me here, and I'm glad he did! I love that cluttered area with the different levels and trenches, I love the buried tank, I love the Slaanesh radio tower... Heck, I love the whole thing! You've got my subscribe. 👍

[@SteveFamine]

Thanks! I WILL GET BETTER AT VIDEOS! I'm super new to editing and that is what I need to work on! A lot more to come!

[@meanderingshade]

Magnificent! Truly awesome board and terrain set. You did great work on this project, it was fun watching the progress throughout this video.

[@kookyrobot]

your video was very inspirational about 2 month ago apparently. I just stumbled upon it again, just now, seeing my table, my scatter, my buildings, and then seeing your video again is funny. I think your video made my realize that its all organic and lived in, and thats ok. :D thanks!

[@kookyrobot]

yes, very inspirational, the whole video.

[@SteveFamine]

I'm actually going to step up my game in 2022 and start posting videos again. I'm sort of bad at editing videos and want to get better - but at least I got the point across. It's okay to have terrain sort of be whatever creativity youre feeling and the organic / real look is something not often seen in 40k. Its why people like the Blanchisti style or they like the 3rd edition bright colors and greens. Whatever gets you into the game. Scatter + Trash terrain is also the epitome of fun... painting toys/junk and so on. I recommend you go down an Eric's Hobby Workshop rabbit hole next while youre working on terrain!

[@alexcoles5179]

Best modular table I've seen!

[@SteveFamine]

Thanks!

[@revenantworkshop175]

This is a great looking table! Love the use of vibrant colour, I need to do that more instead of going straight to dark colours so often! Epic work 👏

[@dlvnmedia]

I love the KMFDM graph on that wall - earned a sub with that one

[@SteveFamine]

Hell yeah! I see them every time they tour around where I am

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Awesome. Proof that basic techniques applied well create something far greater than the sum of its parts. There is hope for the rest of us punters in our projects. Cheers!

[@Nosh_Feratu]

love this, the attention to detail just adds so much interest and immersion, awesome work man!!

[@SteveFamine]

Thank you fellow cyclist! This is still some terrible photography work. I'll show things off better in the future! Still new to this sort of thing

[@real-lomas-chenko]

This table is exceptional.

[@SteveFamine]

Thanks!

[@JeiFaeKlubs]

That is simply gorgeous! I love how every piece looks like it has a history to it and your use of details. And I'm definitely going to steal the design for those giant concrete walls :P

[@SteveFamine]

You can prime a lot of things white and just weather it up + check out the video I have called Easy Terrain Chipping and Weathering on a 24 Hour Painting binge and got to about the 7:20 timer

[@savant989]

@@SteveFamine I know its been a year but any assistance with the makeup and construction of those sweet wall segments? I really want to try something crazy like the berlin wall switchyards lol

[@SteveFamine]

@@savant989 message me on instagram or on the r/terrainbuilding reddit and I can give you a rundown and try and help you out on your project. This is my album on imgur which has a ton of work in progress photo albums: imgur.com/user/stevefamine/posts

[@yansmac4796]

Looks so cool in the brighter colours. Think I prefer it over the usual "grimdark" style.

[@SteveFamine]

The majority of terrain is a dark brown/grey/dark silver unless it has bright green grass sprinkled on it. I wanted the table to stay bright - not even the browns are that dark

[@solidzaku2]

Show this map to GW tournament organizers if you want to induce heart attacks. Great stuff!

[@chriscorbin1142]

Amazing. So vibrant and real.

[@GM99118]

Awesome table!

[@HumorloserHofnarr]

This is just pure glory and bliss. Very well done!

[@SteveFamine]

Thanks! Now I need to paint more minis to get a few games on it

[@lucycannon6732]

Excellent attention to detail in this build! Sharing the channel ;)

[@cillamccarthy6987]

That is an awesome build. Inspired to do my own, just got an urban mat to work from and a load of MDF kits. Gonna raid what else I have and see where it goes. You have done yourself proud with this build, it's stunning.

[@rowanconroy6317]

Fantastic! Love the aesthetic. Totally on this wavelength too. Please keep sharing your work 🙏👍

[@SteveFamine]

I just need to get better camera work and videos! Video this weekend! another 24 hour build

[@samuelconsolatti-welch5876]

Your drop zone board is legendary! Glad to see your new boards r just as cool

[@SteveFamine]

The skill only goes up from here!

[@OneDayAtATime365]

Great color pallet. You have the magic eye.

[@SkySlasher78]

Fantastic board, been a great journey watching you build it over here and on Dakka!

[@evernightcreations]

This is fantastic! I hope you post more videos! Love your work and I would love to see lots more!

[@SteveFamine]

Will post more! Still getting the hang of video editing and this whole process! Next 2 videos should be uploaded before Thanksgiving I hope

[@evernightcreations]

@@SteveFamine That sounds good to me :)

[@marmite_popsicle]

Absolutely talented. Wow

Fantastic collection of terrain . I did enjoy this video . A lot of master piece shown . Congrats !

All your terrain is awesome dude. Well done. That's a dope table.

That's awesome, would love to make a table like that one day

[@svengro5019]

What a great table!

It looks soooooo good. I imagine my necrons walking over this board 🍾

[@ElParadoxex]

stunning results! love your style

[@loo-vee1292]

So impressive and yet inspiring at the same time :)

[@CrazyCrafterLivestream]

What an amazing board Steve! Love those trenches with all the scattered bits embedded within the trench walls.

[@SteveFamine]

My video skills are hot garbage honestly. More in the future! Thanks man!

[@thebadassgentleman1154]

This is awesome. If you're ever up for a much smaller terrain collab/competition lmk!

100% Doing a 24 hour build now with kzbin.info/door/DGi542VegdMVdY1jpS4w6w who is a talented canvas/wall art painter that also is master with terrain

[@osvaldofernandez8641]

Que gran trabajo!!!.. Cada pieza es como que contara una historia distinta... buenisimo!!!.. totalmente inspirador!!!.. 👏👏👏...

[@w40kavecarcanoide]

J'adore ta table. Elle ultra réaliste. Et modulable. Mais comment stock tu tout les éléments ? Cela doit prendre une place folle. Félicitations

[@kookyrobot]

Spring-Season rewatching. 👁👁

[@kookyrobot]

you know whats awesome of 'your' system, what makes me have so much fun with it? "creating a new scene" from the stuff you have. I know what I have, but I always find new scenes I can do with my stuff :D Yesterday it was ruin, now it is a construction yard. thanks once again!

[@florentarlandis1209]

Love it!

[@666MABE]

When are we playing necromunda on this thing?! Wow

[@SteveFamine]

I'm building up a few 1500~ point armies to play on it and I want to have a few kill teams painted up first! Tons of terrain but barely painted minis

[@SnoddiesHobbies]

Oh I loved dropzone commander but no one plays it in my area anymore.

[@SteveFamine]

I would play DZC or Dropfleet in a heartbeat if I wasnt the one providing everything and other people wanted to play. Might have 6 local players within an hour drive and that was on launch for both games before TCCombat bought them (HWG)

[@SteveFamine]

The game rulewise is great. Seriously it's a really tactical game but simple stateline/small rule wise

[@benhayden9198]

Can I ask what you used as a base for your boards, as I'm currently using 9mm ply, with a frame around and filled with polystyrene, but find my board get heavy real quick???

[@SteveFamine]

MDF they sell at home depot in 2x4 or 4x4 - so I made a frostgrave board here with four 2x2 squads in the same material. Dont use black wash or heavy amounts of PVA to avoid warping and also try and add on sheets of pink foam to reinforce it. imgur.com/gallery/CUp9vSo you can see the tiles here

[@SeeSebastian]

can you plz show us your scions

[@SteveFamine]

Sure : imgur.com/gallery/PaVCglv I have a lot more to paint!

[@thomasgross8289]

How do you keep your chipboard/cardboard from warping?!

[@SteveFamine]

Use less liquid and build the pieces with reinforcement! Okay so I took 2x4 MDF rectangles at 1/4" inch and then I glued down the pink foam chunks I carved out. Then I drill down from the back of the MDF a few thin 1" screws. This squishes the lightly applied glue DOWN. I don't over bond it or use a ton of glue. I may have used 20 screws here. Then later on I use spackle to handle all the slopes and edges of the pink foam so it sort of locks it in place and this hides the pointy screw ends that are popping up. I glue sand with mod podge and try and keep it light. I don't add water or dilute it if I can. The base coat on top is actually a light white rustolum spray. I follow this up by a slightly watery brown paint mixed with mod podge coat on the dirty areas. This entire process avoids pouring PVA glue all over the piece on the table which warps it slightly

[@thomasgross8289]

@@SteveFamine thanks for the tip!

[@florentarlandis1209]

There's a cute little tank at 2:13 what is this model?

[@SteveFamine]

Its from the Crane set from GW. It was a small tracked motor that came along

[@xenodraigshrike5052]

What did you use for the base of those chip board walls?

[@xenodraigshrike5052]

Like you have some sorta 40k piece then use the chipboard and foam and stuff I want to know what that base piece is because I know I have seen it and I want to shamelessly steal those walls.

[@SteveFamine]

@@xenodraigshrike5052 imgur.com/a/ppX1Ce5 here is what they actually look like and imgur.com/a/M5RMTd3 without paint. It's the wall sections from the Necromunda Gang Stronghold. Don't stop there though - you could 100% Make a one part silicon mold and recast this stump/base piece and create an entire fort effectively. I'll add more to these walls later and build a few more L sections
