How can i make warhammer 40k terrain?

Question

The terrain type can be either jungle or city/urban

Answer 1

well, the EASY way, is to head on down to your local hobby shop, and buy buildings that appear to be in scale to your miniatures.  Not just the Games Workshop stuff, but Pegasus Hobbies also makes some pretty d**n nifty terrain items.  You can even find some things pre-made and board-ready.

To build from scratch, you're going to need alot of household items seemingly at random:

-popsicle sticks

-paper towels (the cheap kind found in public restrooms)

-cardstock

-sheet plastic

-bits of wire

-sand and gravel

-leftover bits from your models

-PVA glue, super glue, and plastic glue

the list goes on.  Games Workshop has alot of interesting tutorials on how to build things like trees and random alien buildings, but use your imagination.

Answer 3

This can be difficult.

Materials could include plasticard, foamcore or other fancy modeling materials, paint obviously or any household materials like cocktail sticks and loo roll ... rolls?

Try not to use cardboard because it comes out a bit rubbish.

You can also use parts from the games workshop range of buildings like adeptus mechanicus symbols or imperial eagles.

Texture paint is good for ruined buildings, makes it look realistic

Answer 4

Building terrain of any type can be as hard or as easy as you want to make it and even a novice can produce good-looking, interesting terrain for Warhammer or Warhammer 40,000 in just a couple of hours.

The first and easiest way of making 40k terrain is by using the terrain boxed sets that are available from Games Workshop Online or their many Hobby Centres worldwide.  The stuff isn't cheap, but it's robust, highly-detailed and easy to build as well as being designed explicitly for the game (so it fits in nicely to the rules).

The second way - almost as easy - is to use one of the cheaper manufacturers.  IMEX's Hexagon and Platformer sets are cheaper than GW's but just as functional and are easy to build.  They also have the advantage that you can build them without glue or paint, taking them apart and rebuilding them into new structures for each battle.  Alternatively, you can use the budget option of Amera's vacuum-formed terrain sets.  These do take some skill to build and paint effectively, but they are by far the cheapest option on the block.

The most satisfying - and most advanced - approach is to build your own terrain.  And this need not be expensive or even especially difficult.  There are loads of possible starting points - experts swear by Hirst Arts plaster moulds for making their own bricks and walls - but the best place to start is certainly on Games Workshop's own selection of excellent tutorials.

Answer 5

my biggest reccomendation would be to start by buying the "how to make wargaming terrain" (i think thats what its called) book from a games workshop stoore. that covers basic to advanced stuff, so its basically a guide.

For jungle terrain, games workshop stocks all sorts of plastic plants and shubbrery you can use, as well as some of the mosses and lichens you can sometimes buy from them, if not an independent stockist or hobby store is bound to have it.

City, you could use the GW city ruins sprues,if they are still available, if not,plasticard,plywood and chipboard will be your best pals
