40k scenery part 2...

The buildings are from Pegasus Hobbies - this pack has two identical corners made of about a dozen hard plastic pieces each. I have assembled them onto two, 12" x 6" bases made from 3mm MDF. The piles of of rubble in the corner are also from Pegasus, but they're resin. They can be used together as a single building or separately. Again, I need to do some painting...

Around each building is a pavement (sidewalk) an inch wide. I'm going to add paving stones to this, but at the moment it's just a scribbled space.

40k Scenery...

I have spent the afternoon putting together some scenery for my 40k games. I am trying to put together a 'game in a box' of scenery; the first one will be 'Imperial Urban'. The table-cloth will be one of the brown Mat Of War mats from Antenociti's Workshop with a grid of roads painted onto it. I reckon I need 2 of 12" x 12" buildings, 4 of 12" x 6" buildings, about a half dozen barricades, plus a hill of some sort. I have an idea for that which would include blue and pink insulating foam... but first, here are the barricades.

The tank traps are from Total System Scenic and were pretty cheap - it just cost me £6 for all twenty. The tyre stacks were from PG Scenics, also cheap at £1.75 for a pack of five. The car is a Thunderbirds toy; it seems about the right size, and it'll blend in once everything is painted. Everything is on 3mm MDF, on 2" x 8" bases. The idea is to make roads about 6" wide, so these will be able to close them off at an angle.
