Revisited 40K Warzone Desert Table #1: The Pinnacles

The Pinnacles, and the mess that is my apartment. Notice the stack of Zone Mortalis rooms in the upper right hand corner of the photo, and the pile of boards leaned against the wall in the upper left hand corner of the photo.

After using weathering powder on the other 2 desert tables and seeing how it added to them, I decided to add a tiny bit of Medium Earth to The Pinnacles table, along with some static grass. Here are some proper close ups.

This area of difficult ground has a special place in my heart. It has been repainted multiple times and dates back to the first table I made specifically for home. Its probably 12+ years old. Now with a tiny bit of weathering powder. 

Each stone spire is so tall that you really can only photograph the base.

The base of the largest spire. It is over 15" tall.

Broom bristle "trees". One of my favorites to make. 

More boom bristle trees. The base is lightly shaded with some Medium Earth.

More subtle weathering.

Natural berm. I should note that all of the mesas and dunes on these boards in part are made up off all the off cuts glued and covered in masking tape to create a more natural shape, which is then covered in spackle, smoothed, and left to dry before being coated in sand.

40K Warzone Desert Table #3: Sanguinary Valley

Desert Table #3: The Sanguinary Valley

To make this table a bit more distinctive (and to give it a cool name), I hit the valley with a bunch of red and orange weathering powder. These two tables were originally built to be used for the Koth Ridge scenario last year for my Piscina IV event but they weren't completely finished in time. Over the weekend I dry brushed both, added weather powder and flock, and just flipped one of the tables around to convert it from a ridge line with a tight gully into a valley.

Here are some quick shots:

40K Warzone Tournament: Desert Table #2 The Retaining Wall

I just finished Desert Table #2, The Retaining Wall. I'm really happy with the look and feel of the table. Hopefully it proves to be fun and exciting for the players.

Difficult ground.

Massive mesa.

More difficult ground.

 This is one of 4 tables that will be used for the Blood Soaked Sand or The Desert Outpost scenarios.

There will be fast and furious updates all the way up to Adepticon so feel free to follow closely and feel free to make comments or ask questions.

Thanks!

40K Warzone Desert Board #1 The Pinnacles

Quick update: This is the first desert board roughly completed for the 40K Warzone Tournament at Adepticon. Lots of wide open desert and not a lot of cover. Blood Soaked Sands indeed. It just needs some splotchy static grass and some weathering and its ready for the big day.
