Hello everybody. My name is Alex and I managed to delve into the trash before my wife threw it away. And, of course, I again bring to your attention a terrain of clay and branches.
When I was looking at the map of the island, I was happy to find the Burch's bluffs. This made me very happy. I love and respect all the participants in the event, but Greg has a special place in my pantheon of wargamers (Oh, yes, there is Tamsin, but she is the special love of us all!). He has great ideas, excellent performance, goodwill towards other wargamers. Therefore, I could not get past the punt on the map with his name.
I have a fatal relationship with 30k - I still have not assembled the army and have not played more than once, although I periodically tried to start. I read all the books, I know how the siege of Terra will end (I won’t spoil it!), But I never started playing. Maybe this terrain set will still give me one more reason to start doing it.
I decided to do something that will be both terrain and lenses for the game - either a warehouse with fuel, or with other chemistry. And, of course, it belongs to the Legion of the Ultramarines. I believe that he is not such an interesting order as the Sons of Horus or the Death Guard, but more promoted.
As you can see, I used simple materials from the garbage to make, an airbrush for painting and decals to create the background. Quick, easy, cheap, but it looks fine. But is this not necessary?
My traveler liked, I hope, Greg will like it and all the participants in the event.

Alex, this is brilliant! Your posts are always a lot of fun, as you consistently show how every day odds and ends can be transformed into great gaming pieces. I'm such a laggard myself when it comes to painting terrain, so I find it extremely impressive when others manage - and you always set a bar with your creativity.
These pieces would make wonderful objective markers on any 30k or 40k table! The Sons of Horus, for their part, would have a good time looting/blowing up/sabotaging any equipment belonging to the tiresome Ultramarines. It is also easy to imagine the Alpha Legion booby trapping all of these things - great stuff Alex.
Also have to say, I loved your description of your relationship with the 30k setting :)
Another 50 points for you, sir!
