Is that the one he's planning on using for his IG display board?
-
No, This is a piece made solely for Battlegrounds! Its a Cathedral for the God Emperor himself. There is a lot to this building, like, tapestries, propaganda posters..and more to come I will be adding more to it weekly until I think its complete!
-
I think Mike and John Caputo should collaborate in building terrain for the Megabattle this year. I could only imagine how cool it would look.
All in favor? :D
-
It's awesome!
but I give it one hour of playtime before someone's elbow knocks down a wall :(
-
Very nice.
-
Impressive Sir! ever finish the board for your knight titans?
-
Can't wait for the Armies of the Second Imperium of Men to fight and die to keep it in their control!
-
Really pretty mike.
-
I literally just choked on my waffles looking at this :-[. Great work!
EDIT: Remember kids, Don't eat breakfast while looking at epic terrain pieces!
-
I really wish I was good at making terrain. I would have tried my hand at the Imperial Cathedral that first appeared in a WD from a few years ago and has seen some sparatic use in their games.
-
Thanks guys.. Would anyone be interested in my running a Terrain class? or something fun like that?
-
I would. I'd attend.

I would do it.
-
I'd likely show up too
-
Ill bring Waffles!
-
I think i would show up for it. Would it be Tuesdays Mike?
What kind of things would it involve. I want to work on like a forest table for my personal home.
-

Don't eat them while building terrain, you could die. Anyway, a class on terrain building would be something of necessary attendance on my behalf. [but] I have the same question as Intro Pack ed, what kind of terrain do you have in mind?
-
I will be talking to Chase about what would be the best date and time. I think we might want to work on a broad topic of terrains... Everything from City Ruins, to Forests and swamps....etc... I hope to cover all miniature ranges... even BFG, FOW, WH40k, WHFB, Warmachine, etc...
-
This terrain piece was used tonight by a couple of kids playing with the Black Reach kit. Everyone who came in really like it. At least, everyone who said something about it. :P
-
Thanks Ben! I was hoping it would get used last night. I really want the 40k players to let me know how it plays. I am planing on making more stuff for the store like this but a bit more modular in the future and getting player feedback is always important.
-
Mike I am going to donate a landraider to you. Can you do something cool with it for a future project?
-
I am sure we c an come up with something cool.. ;D

Space Marines and Orks were running through the terrain toward each other... then Orks started assaulting. The surviving Space Marines had nowhere to go but up!
-
Ben, you make that game sound like one I wish I had seen. Marine space marines, running like little children from the might of the orks!

I'll definitely make room in the schedule to attend something like this as well.
-
Very cool piece.. its actually big enough to have battles in too.
-
Just a note...Terrain piece #2 in the works as of last night. Hope to complete by month end.

-
Nice! I can't wait to see it all painted up!
-
oooo that size and style looks cool for Necromunda!
Also Mike wana come to Abington and fix the lack of nice terrain? ;)
-
Yup its perfect for Necromunda and skirmish games. I am not sure if I have the time to travel to Abington since I only get out once a week to Plainville because its so close. But maybe..no promises.
-
The one suggestion I have for the terrain piece is to make a narrow walkway or bridge across the horizontal pipe, something minis can stand on.
-
Already ahead of you... the building is complete... I was up till 3 am last night my brain was exploding with building ideas... I am ready from priming and painting now :) LOL WHAWAHWHAWHAWHAWHAHAHAHAHAH
-
We have a terrain problem at abington. Theres not much good terrain :'(
-
Well I am planning on hopefully making some for both stores. I am focusing on making kick ass Tournament terrain pieces and Mega Battle pieces for the store.

Mike, please leave some awesome for the rest of us.
-
Mike I think you need to build a Space Marine Fortress Monestary, then we can have Mega Battles with marines defending it ;)
-
!

Mike I think you need to build a Space Marine Fortress Monestary, then we can have Mega Battles with marines defending it ;)
And a Chaos one!

Agreed!
-
Two things about the new piece...
1) Holy Crap!
2) That is some EXCELLENT Necromunda / Zombie Crawl terrain too! The walkway would fantastic for a chokepoint to hold (or zombie bomb?)
-

Yes i think it is Abingtons turn this month :P
-

I think this is more a myth than anything else.
You guys have 5 of the 5 newest tables the business has produced and all the terrain to go with them.
-
Not to be a Dick but why don't you guys work in your community to build terrian. I don't feel riding the coat tails of mike would be fair. In my opinion abington had a really good painting community a year ago and then it died for some reason. At the moment you have only really one person working on terrian and that is nick who works at the store. Something Derek all so. Derek just fisish his tower finally and nick has just made in my opinion the best hill table in the community. A lot of the terrain in both stores is old. Mike has said he want to start a class for the plainville store. I don't see why from the abington someone can't start a class with thier rich painting backround.
-
it is more because most of the terrain started as abington terrain. and then was stolen to become plainville terrain. so as a community we built terrain and then had it stolen. So we are not riding anyone curtails. and by the way i am not positive but am pretty sure that mike made terrain for the second megabattle before plainville was even open(but i could be wrong or mixing him up with another person).

Not to start a flame war but dude pay attention to our posts. We were in no way serious. We put up smiliesto indicate sarcasm and jokingly asked if he would make a forterss monestary. Our terrain at the store is sufficient, it just sucks that we dont have as a rich diverse terrain pool as we used to because as Seth said most of it was taken. So that kind of makes us not want to make terrain, and also many of us have busy life scheduals. Also a lot of the community has moved onto collage. In the future please look before you leap.
-
No serious? No jokes ok. I was just trying to understand where you guys were coming from. I go to both store and people tell me crazy rumors from the abington side and a lot of hate. I feel you are doing a amazing part on the abington end Steve and I don't want to make you angry. I might have pieced the info posted from differnet people wrong. I guess it is hard for a build and a rebuild at the same time. Lastly I was no flaming your post on him making you a spacemarine thingy I was talking about the comments after I am sorry.
-
i'm up to the task of making terrain for abington, i have been looking online and it seems pretty easy once you get the hang of things. So hopefully in a couple of months i'll see if i am "worthy enough" of making store terrain. I think a ewok village thing from star wars would be cool.

no worries dude. Im tired of hearing the "Abington has no terrain so we wont play any more" excuse and I just got a bit peeved. All under the bridge now. Peace!

You know, this does sound like something maybe we can incorporate into the tale of x gamers league we all have going -- maybe we can all chip in a little bit of time to get a terrain piece constructed and painted -- if it's one piece by the end of the league, I think 16 people working when their free time permits can definitely get something impressive created.
Maybe a few people volunteer to plan/design it, and the rest build and paint it? It could be a centerpiece for an end of league apocalypse battle :)
-
I would gladly donation all my bitz if you guys did something like that.
-
I have some store credit I'd be willing to donate towards buying buildings and stuff too if this gets off the ground.
-
Well if enough people are seriously interested we can do a Terrain making thing I guess. But there would be a few issues.
1. Who wants the responsibility of overseeing this?
2. Not to sound rude or stuck up but would there be a degree of expectation to be held as to the quality of the terrain?
3. Who would like to participate?
-

I would imagine so.

So I am glad both communities are looking at this thread. I think great terrain really can make casual games and tournaments very memorable. I will be talking to chase to arrange a class of sorts to teach what I know so others who have the "build terrain" bug to bring their imaginations into existence. I now that my terrain is incredible fun to make and build but most of it comes to me while I am building and I modify and change my layouts until it gels for me.
Things to think about when creating terrain:
Size
Theme
Indoor / Outdoor / Ruins?
Playablity
Does it work with current terrain available to add to a theme or type of terrain.
My second piece is done as of last night. I will be bringing it to the store this week for Chase's final approval and to see if he wants me to change or add something. I have ideas about making this part of a new table I am working on in my head. We will see if Chase likes the idea.
Hope to see you all soon.

Is the painting of the Emperor done by you (Mike Salzman)? Great job by the way.
-
Nah, I could if I took the time but that is a pic from online I found on google. Then I inked it and aged it a bit :)
-
Had the pleasure of seeing this piece in person last night... my LORD is it awesome looking!
Quite well done man! :)
-
Thanks!!! More to come!
