evil_bryan Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 With the recent purchase of a decent 3D printer, I thought my first lofty goal would be to build an entire 4x6 terrain table for 40K. Here is the layout for Tile #1: One down, 23 more to go! Why Corvus X? All of the files I have used so far came from Corvus Games Terrain and X refers to the unknown number of filament spools it will take to complete this project. 🙂 My goal is to have it completed and painted in time for this year's OFCC. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torg Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Through all my reviews and research it’s the one I keep circling back to myself. Maybe by spring I can pull the trigger on one. - good luck with your project! -d 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainA Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Picked up that set and want to make a Kill Team table out of it. Thanks for the link. I'm always looking for good stl files for terrain that are unique. I love www.imperialterrain.com. Yeah, I know its star wars, but it works well for 40k!

evil_bryan Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Small update...I am in the process of building copies of Tile #1. The tanks, walkways and stairs are done for 2 more tiles and I am now working on the flooring. I'm a fan of this layout since it provides both line of sight blocking and a bit of height for troops placement. Here is an example starring my super long-term GSC project. 🙂 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Pretty amazing 🙂 How long does it take the printer to produce all the peices for one full tile (everything). Also price point wise, what is your estimated investment per tile in material? I personally think what you have so far would be worth it no matter what, that table will be noice. Moar plx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Printing everything for that tile took ~5 days, and was 85% of a $20 roll of filament. The printer I am using cost ~$800, and it has been very consistent for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_bryan Posted February 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Update time! I now have the components to build two more copies of tile #1, and have moved on to designing a new tile layout. First, I needed to upscale one of the other storage tanks from the set. The larger tank has been scaled to 164% of the original Why 164%? I wanted it scale it to the other tank and used the integrated ladder for reference Speaking of scaling, I don't this little tank provides enough cover: This is much better! Picture for scale: 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure sure what Brian does, but sanding is one option. I give mine several coats of spray can polyurethane to fill the gaps before priming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
