One features three large pieces of terrain, another five, and the third has six. There are three examples of matched-play Strike Force boards in the core book. It turns out that a lot of the commentary about rules of thumb for terrain (fill 25вЂі of your board and then spread it out, one giant piece a foot tall in the center, one terrain piece in every square foot, etc.) isnвЂ™t really reflected in 9th Edition. While trying to figure out how best to fill a 9th Edition Strike Force (44вЂіењ†0вЂі) board, it finally occurred to me to just, you know, check the rulebook. Laying down a Wraithbone primer/base coat on some Manufactorum terrain (November 2020) Terrain pieces and notes So I took the plunge, committed to Wraithbone spray as the combination primer and base coat - and it worked out great! I have to choose my moments, weather-wise, but with a dodgy spray booth made out of a taped-up cardboard box and a decent day, itвЂ™s lovely stuff and a big time-saver. But with areas this large, brush-painting would be a nightmare.

I learned how to use brush-on primer and sealant specifically to avoid the hassles of temperature- and humidity-sensitive spray cans (which I fought with for far too long). Walls and floors finished, small details still underway (November 2020) Spray and pray ThereвЂ™s also a breakdown of my hazard striping (though itвЂ™s quite straightforward) in a separate WIP post.

Which is fine! New horizons are fun.Д«lending techniques and steps from multiple Warhammer TV videos, I put together a guide that covers my painting steps and recipes for this terrain. My first terrain pieces, freshly coated with Wraithbone spray (November 21, 2020) Battlezone: Manufactorum terrain color guide The modular nature of the Mechanicus terrain is awesome, too. (Length is fine.) A Manufactorum ruin during its initial drybrush (November 2020)ДЄfter liking the first batch, I decided to add some Sector Mechanicus and Imperialis factory stuff to the mix - sort of a forge world combo, which sounds like fun. Expanding to a Strike Force-sized play area (2,000 points) would mean adding the Manufactorum: Battlefield pack (two more boards) and additional terrain, and would exceed the width of our dining table by about 4вЂі on each side. Both ways, this is plenty of terrain - and more than enough to keep me busy for some time, painting-wise.

A pair is a 40k Combat Patrol or Incursion board (500 or 1,000 points, respectively). My first finished larger Manufactorum ruin (December 2020)ДЄ single board is a Kill Team play area. This is also plenty for taking fun pictures of my minis, which is a plus. It includes two double-sided boards (grey moonscape/red wasteland) which look so good that GW uses them in studio shots, as well as enough awesome terrain to fill both boards. Enter the ManufactorumДЄfter doing some research into different options, I started with the Battlezone: Manufactorum вЂ“ Vertigus set.

This is a long page, so here are quick links to my color guides and terrain list.

Games Workshop does not endorse or support this work, it is a fan work.With two 40k armies underway, first my Blood Angels and then, as they approached 2,000 points, my Deathskulls Orks, I decided it was time to invest in a play surface and start building up a collection of terrain (the вЂњthird armyвЂќ). IвЂ™m going to turn a polystyrene shipping box for a mug into bunkers using the heat gun and Kilz primer and grouting sand technique.
