Desert Town

By Alpha17, in Terrain Building

Working on a few more buildings, but the big update is a desert mat, thanks to my wife deciding I needed something cool for my birthday:

Well, the tournament was mostly a bust, but I did finish up five more buildings for it. The town is mostly complete building wise (missing two watchtowers and my first attempt at a building that were moved to a different table). Now I'll start working on the details, such as windows, propaganda posters, etc.

Using the bridge as a pedestrian crosswalk is a great idea. Looks awesome.

Looks fantastic!

Small update for the ole desert town here, I've gotten a little bored with the more or less static placement of the central buildings/overpass, so I've played around with placement and such. Doing so showcased the need for some smaller items, so now the town boasts a couple of small walls and even a well. (drink at your own risk)

Man, these are awesome! Why are you so good at painting, kit bashing, and terrain building!?

With all the talk of the Occupier tank, I rewatched the ambush scene of Rogue one, and now I'm trying to duplicate some of it's deserty urban combat feel in Legion. These are my current buildings. At the very least, I'd like to double what I have here, and add an additional overpass/walkway for more sniper positions and vehicle obstructions. Stay tuned. Hoping to have a full table worth of terrain by a Feb 16 tournament my local game store is hosting.

Here is my desert setup. Sadly, I don’t have a true desert mat, I got a tundra mat that I thought could work with desert or forest. All this terrain covered exactly 25% of the board.

Thanks. I wouldn't say that I'm particularly good at it, but have gotten lucky in how these have turned out. It also probably helps that I'm willing and able to throw the vast majority of my free time into making terrain and such for my Legion addiction.

If I may quote Master Obi-wan Kenobi, "In my experience there's no such thing as luck." This definitely applies to at the very least miniatures painting, and in the greater scheme of Kit-bashing and Table-making. But what you do, that's definitely not "Luck". But yaknow, being humble is a good attribute(one I lack most-if not all- the time)

It's been a long time since I updated this thread with pictures of the complete table. Time to correct that!

Looks fun

It usually is. Frequently I'll hear that people say this is their favorite table, of mine at least.
