Building Malifaux One Table at a Time

[Paddywhack]

How about some pics from your demo games? New terrain in action with figs

For sure! Didn't even think of that...um, next game with my scenery is Saturday (the club has its own stuff we made in tech and enterprise - Fridays game). MIGHT even get some of the other bits and bobs done by then (trees and signs).

Had another great game today and got to use the table to full effect. It made the game fun to play, demonstrated some of the basic movement dynamics and just generally allowed some nice interesting interactions.
First though, some finished up trees. These are meant to represent massive redwood style tress rather than the smaller ones I have floating around. Over all the effect I was looking for was a frontier town rather than just an out and out desert.
Tree with no foliage (could leave it as is)

And with greenery


Then THE TABLE (during a game)






So all up, less than 6 hours work (building, painting and printing signs).
The budget blew out because I used some woodland scenic green fluffy stuff for the trees ($12 for a bag). Including the amount of paint I used...approximate cost $75.

Not bad

EDIT:
Oh...the last two pieces...
Rocky outcrop. This was a cheat as it was re-purposed from my other scenery from other game systems, just given new paint and flock to match the town set.
Just good old packing foam cut to shape and textured with PVA and sand on an MDF base.

And the water tower...simple to use again, although tall models (like some of my fancy bases) will not fit *sigh*

Very nice stuff, love the trees. Always the hardest thing I found to make from scratch.

Looks like a fun table! Your buildings are great and simple, but excellent for the game. Someone else said something about doing a whole table of rooftops and I think that your simple building would be the way to do it. Enough of them packed in together with only small alleyway style gaps and a few bridges where necessary, would be very interesting. I could see Seamus racing across the rooftops being chased by the Guard! Might have to try it when I get home (I'm overseas - so it'll be a while).

Thanks everyone! It has been a blast getting all of this done and starting out as a henchman...good times so far! The set needs some smaller terrain now, like crates and low walls, stuff that won't block LoS but will provide soft/hard cover.
Maybe some post and rail fences, I have enough balsa wood left over!
It was kind of fun having some fights on the rooftop while others were on ground level, made you plan ahead about support and interactions between units. I think Lilith would do well on this table

Looking really good though I might add a little something to the foliage on the trees. Adding a little adhessive spray and course flocking material (you can also use crushed herbs) or clump foliage will make them look less like spanish moss and more like leafy trees.

Those are looking really good I was happy with my old Mordheim buildings for my games, but this might just have inspired me to make some new stuff!

Damn I'm going to have to come over the other side of the country at some point to check it out!

What did you use for the tree foliage? Looks great!
