Hey guys. Im starting a warhammer 40k table and i need some tutorials on how to make buildings and so on with simple tools (i can go and buy some if need be, but preferably not) and easy to acquire materials.

my theme is like cities of death, so imperial city, damaged and intact

And yes i have seen the cities of death table tutorial. but that doesnt go into detail bout buildings.

all help is greatly appreciated

Have you checked out the old Cityfight stuff - I found that really good. I think I've got some of the articles hiding on my hard drive somewhere if your interested.

I made all my buildings from foamboard, great material to work with and when you base the walls with some gritty wallpaint you'll end up with some nice results (to bad i cleared my pc of all my buildings or i could show you some) The inspiration for them i took from the city fight book and from the internet.

That would be great Jacobite

Great, and I guess you can get foamboard from any old hardware store. The paint isn't a problem. I get all my inspiration from Cities of Death and the Article on How to make your own Cities of Death table.

yeah there are some templates on the ciifight part of the gw site. all you really need for that is some thick card and a knife. They dont look all that bad either.

mine are made from MDF, but theyre really not classic GW gothic. but still, check out my thread in ongoing topics if you fancy.

Thanks guys, greatly appreciate it

would cardboard do the job?

now all i need is some glue that works! haha, thanks guys, keep it coming

the gw templates will work with just corrugated card, like the stuff you get in delivery boxes and that. i made some and they turned out fine that way.

corrugated card, template, pva gule and a sharp knife is all you need

Well I looked through my hard drive and found the templates. Then just for kicks I checked on the net sure enough they were still there. So I thought I would give you the source.

Heres the link

Hope that helps. I ahvn't tried them but I took a quick look and they seem simple enough.

Good Luck

I don't have one for my buildings but can write oen up fairly easily.

If you do put it in the Articles section as well, its looking pretty thin up there at the moment.

I'm trying to finish one at the moment but its text heavy.
