I am working on making several terrain sets with a veiw towards starting up a series of small Epic tournaments and multisystem gaming events in Western Australia.

I started work with a Tau Jungle Outpost.  Everything is still a WIP at the moment and any advice or ideas for detailing would be really appreciated.

I started off by basing a heap of fish tank plants on washers.  Eventually I am planning on wrapping these in gladwrap so I can spray and paint their bases.




These are two WIP terrain peices that will represent the Tau Jungle Outpost as well as three objective markers that I will be using for my Tau army.  I would love any ideas for detailing these peices.




Here is an example of a terrain set up using the set (actually its set up for me to play my first game with the Tau tonight vs Kim's Eldar).



And on a different topic some Choas objectives I made today.  Not sure if I like them at all but they may look OK when painted.  I am thinking of making up some hirst arts chaos alters instead.

Hmmm... Are those Peach seeds (or whatever they're called in english :p) They could make awsome Mycetic spore marker or Tyranids as well :;):

They are from Quandongs.  Good Australian aboriginal bush tucker.  I gave one to an American professer I was working with once and one of the guys jokingly told him that they make you halucinate for a couple of days which kind of worried him  :D  they make a good jam too.... and don't worry they don't have halucinagenic properties.

Or perhaps they do, hence the chaos terrain!

Nice looking terrain and objectives, Mark. I really like the Tau Jungle Outpost.

Its proving to be fun to game on (just about to start turn three of our first game on it - will type up a battle report with pics when I get a chance).  Its a nice change from always playing on ruined imperial cities.

I wouldn't detail them much at all, Tau stuff looks clean and tidy.  I'd just paint 'em and plaster them with Tau decals.

Excellent ideas too.....I all of a sudden feel the need for another visit to the craft shop. :D

Wow ! Very, very, nice work !  Great concept !  And let us know how the Tau fare against the Eldar ... the two most hi-tech forces in Epic. I always thought that would be a good match ... and now on some great terrain !  Look forward to seeing the completed project !  :D

I have applied some paint to the Tau Outpost, after giving it a coating of spack filler and then sanding them back.







I am fairly happy with the results.

I have started work on some imperial villages as well as two big imperial cityfight boards

These are great, Mark! :cool:  It must have taken a very steady hand and precise cutting to get those Tau structures out of those globes... :confuse:

Great work, I look forward to seeing your next terrain projects! :)
