Terrain Square Competition 2017 Results!

Nick speaking,

Once again the standard for this years Terrain Square Competition was incredibly high, and with the added twist of a 'corner' piece made for some very inspirational pieces. This of course made my job of picking the winner very hard, but out of the seventeen entries I had to come up with a top three, and that is what I did. If you want to check out all the entries for yourself, I have a playlist on my homepage where you can see all the awesome pieces of terrain.

Right, lets take a look at the top three in reverse order...

Third Place: cruorangelussilicis with his Dead Man's Hand Corner Board

Second Place: Jesper Wallin with his Ruined Corner Building

First Place and this years Terrain Square Champion: xtswarzone and his Khorne Skull Alter

Well done to everyone for all their hard work, I hope it was a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing what awesome pieces of terrain we will get in next years Terrain Square Competition in March and of course, there will be a new twist!

Necron Promethium Pool Showcase (Terrain Square 'Corner' Competition 2017)

Nick speaking,

That's the Terrain Corner all finished, really happy how the water effect came out, especially as it was my first time using resin. I will post more on the process of how I did the effects in a future post, but for now here is my completed corner terrain...

Necron Promethium Pool #3 (Terrain Square 'Corner' Competition 2017)

Nick speaking,

Back to the Terrain Corner I am doing for my Terrain making competition, sponsored by Inside Out Terrain and WarGames...

Right, so my first task was to make the Promethium Relay Pipes look like Necron pipes. I put a lot of work into that, shaving off all the rivets and spikes and adding loads of Necron bitz to them. I also extended some of the pipes with some old till rolls, using cardboard to detail them up a little...

Then it was back the the terrain itself, after loads of filler and PVA glue to make it waterproof for the water effects at the end, I then added sand to the piece. I also used some mounting board (thick cardboard) to cover up the corners edges, which I think finishes it of nicely. Next is to get it painted and add the water effects!

Necron Promethium Pool #1 (Terrain Square 'Corner' Competition 2017)

Nick speaking,

With just a few weeks left of the Terrain Square 'Corner' Competition left, I thought it was time I started posting about the piece of terrain I am building to run along side everyone else's entries. We have two great prizes available for the top pieces from our Sponsors Inside Out Terrain and WarGames and I have put a link to both of them at the bottom of the post, so please make sure you head on over and check them out.

As for my corner, I plan on making a large Necron piece of terrain to go in the corner of the board. I really want to have a go at some water effects, although mine will be green of course! I managed to pick up some Promethium Relay Pipes from WarGames when I went there in January, so I thought that would be a nice addition to the piece to give it more detail

Now I have the basic shape of the piece. Next will be to cut out the Promethium pool and get the pipes built and into the position I want them to go. More to come soon...

Terrain Square Competition 2016 Results!

Nick speaking,

Once again the standard for this years Terrain Square Competition was incredibly high, and with the added twist of the terrain pieces not being on a base with straight edges and corners made for some very inspirational pieces. This of course made my job of picking the winner very hard, but out of the nineteen entries I had to come up with a top three, and that is what I did. If you want to check out all the entries for yourself, I have a playlist on my homepage where you can see all the awesome pieces of terrain.

Right, lets take a look at the top three in reverse order...

Third Place: Spunge Hammer and his Bridge Scene

Second Place: FearDaAlien and his Skull Temple

First Place and this years Terrain Square Champion: ta24u and his Alpha Base Zero

Well done to everyone for all their hard work, I hope it was a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing what awesome pieces of terrain we will get in next years Terrain Square Competition in March and of course, there will be a new twist!
