High Effort Warhammer Terrain Thread

>both players staring at phones instead of playing the game

What the fuck happened to this hobby?

>inb4 some nuhammer fan claims it was always like this

>>96378994

Specifically the one you posted is "It was always like this" tier. Some of the other shit in this thread is fucking unbelievable though.

Objective markers are almost the most offensive part of these tables.

>>96378994
they dumbed down the table top rules and widened the customer base with an xbox game. The hobby is worse but GW is seeing an increase in profit. The only thing we can do to change it is to make terrain ourselves and stop allowing this shit to happen at the LGS

>same 6 images every time
It's just so tiring.

>>96379446
post some new ones

The end result of IGOUGO mechanic in a ruleset where 90% of units have ranged attacks.

>>96378920 (OP)
To actually get this thread someone on topic here as some (in my opinion) mid effort terrain I made for Old World

>>96378994
>What the fuck happened to this hobby?
The hobby is fine.

40k has a problem.

>>96379498
An inadequate explanation by itself, since that description applies to earlier editions but the ugly terrain paradigm didn't.

Say hi to the discord for me

>>96379531
That's pretty cool. Source on the miniatures?

This fills me with some of sort of rage I don't really understand.

When you play 40k in a GW shop or tournament, you are agreeing to act as a free advertisment for their products to other potential customers. Smaller tables means GW can get more 'product displaying games' into their shops in the hope of boosting sales. Clueless idiots have accepted this as the only way to play.

Another factor is that after blowing all their spare cash on a couple of expensive toy soldiers, many have nothing left for good terrain. Since GW started to sell their own official terrain, GW drones are reluctant to use non-GW terrain (homemade or 3rd party), as they have been mindwashed into thinking you can only use GW products in GW games. It's pretty sad.

It's hilarious how low 40kucks standards are .. .

Rebuilding my corrupted sisters, its going to be fun. We don't have a single L shaped ruin between us and our terrain collections.

I love these threads lmfao

Imagine having a dedicated hobby room with glass display shelves to show off the minis you've consoomed, but the gaming space is a sovlless low effort 3x4ft afterthought...

>>96379903
Your shitposting because you're afraid of being honest with people in a post-post-ironic culture but the fact of the matter is someone making due with the minimal they can is respectable.
This guy's gaming even through he has a flat that's about as big as your average bedroom in the States, and no good access to LFGS to by plastic crack. His guys are all imports, which cost even more, and yet he's still playing. More than a lot of shitheads on here can say as their 'high effort' tables sit gathering dust and WIPs line their shelves forever.

Say hi to your psychiatrist for me

>he's playing
It's very weird that 40k fans have put "playing" as some noble pursuit on a pedestal and treat is with such reverence. They often forget that this hobby is multifaceted and has three major tenets: building/crafting, painting, and playing.
Simply "playing" means absolutely nothing when you completely neglect one or both of the other aspects of the hobby. You can play every single day and you're still a hobbylet if you're not fully painting your armies, building immersive terrain or converting your doods, etc.
Modern Warhammer fans fail to grasp the concept that quality is vastly superior to quantity, and it's simply better to play once a quarter with an amazing looking army, table, scenario, opponent, etc. that to play endless pickup games with grey tide on ugly ass tables with the random smelly freaks at your LGS

>>96380794
>random smelly freaks at your LGS
Cool projection. Next time try using something from the OP's post so it doesn't look like you just outed your insecurities.

man, even when I had literally nothing I fetched books and whatever household objects for full cover, and made paper stands with drawings of barbed wire and shit. genuinely what is even the appeal of minimalist, efficient 40k

>>96380875
Why are 'they' like this, bros?

Who won?

>>96378994
It’s very simple: GW realized that tournament players are the most profitable whales they could’ve hoped for.

Think about it, a narrative player will slowly grow their army over years. A casual player might not even reach a 2000 point force, preferring the more comfy (and more tactically interedting) smaller games. But the tournament player? If GW said that the standard game was now 4000 points the competitive player wouldn’t think twice about doubling their army. These people will buy a new army every 3 months, once the meta shifts they sell them on eBay or just throw them away. They buy like there’s no tomorrow.

Compounded is the death of warmachine and the loss of MTG’s identity. Both hyper-competitive retard player bases found refuge in 40K. This was by design. The game is no longer a wargame, but a “T-sport”. Instead of recreating epic battles or simulating combat in the 41st millennium, now you compete over standing on an arbitrary grid of circles on an arbitrary grid of ruins. They turned the game into Dawn of War 3

>>96380794
ain't readin all that, just skimmed the first line
I'm not a 40k fan so you're wrong there and the reason /tg/ has treats actually playing traditional games with reverence is because /tg/ is now nothing but disgenuine tourists that don't play traditional games

>>96379827
They're all kitbashed from a bunch of kits. Oathmark, frostgrave, warhammer fantasy, perry, etc, and have greenstuff work. For the terrain the rubble/stone brick stuff is by Fogou Miniatures and the wooden stuff is entirely scratchbuilt.

The maker use to visit /wfg/ and was called Slaanon because of his 6e Slaanesh army, but doesn't visit there anymore I think. Goes by Art_of_Duane on insta: https://www.instagram.com/art_of_duane/

Some more, because I fucking love his work.

what's even the point of online forums in 2025 when they're all infested by people like you? just kys. go do the skibidi griddy off a cliff and unalive blud

Sweaty tournament try-hards made this shit happen.

>>96380971
Who cares?

>>96378994
Overly focusing on tournament play over narrative play. Best game I ever had were in matches where the teams were intentionally imbalanced.

>>96381005
>can't focus long enough to read a single paragraph
That really sums up the modern 40k experience

>>96380973
>40k isn't a wargame, it's a T-sport
Great way of putting it

>>96379531
>40k is the problem.
FTFY.

>>96381154
No, the problem is metafag and waacfags. 40k caters to them, and that's the problem because it results in a shitty game.

>>96378920 (OP)
why just warhammer? Here is my high effort terrain for Rangers of shadowdeep

There is nothing wrong with setting the homeless on fire.

>>96381035
seethe unc, my precious time is better spent doomscrolling than listening to your inane blathering

>>96381126
have to take your word for it, again, I think 40k is gay as fuck

>>96378920 (OP)
Are you pretending you've never played an impromptu game with cereal boxes as terrain?

>>96380971
GW

>>96380900
Because its the "optimal" way to play and tournament try-hards are the saddest individuals imaginable.

>>96381574
You’re retarded

>>96381237
>have Lego set
>be able to make any size or shape of terrain you want
>make L-shaped ruins
Not kino

>>96381646
I need to add some random hazard strips, chipping, number and letters. Oh and well paint up the triangle magnets to add other shapes.
But for adding other structure to the a table or necromunda they are great.

>>96379661
The core issue is 8th edition changing line of sight from "per model" to "per unit" to try and shut down rhino sniping characters. In earlier editions you could hide half your unit in a small building and and the opponent could only shoot the other half. Now if a toe peeks out, all ten guys are fully visible.

He still posts on /wfg/. He was showing off his new Vampire Counts models only a few threads ago.
