Terrain showcase: ash wastes
I’ve painted up a enough of the terrain I own to feel like looking at how it all comes together.
The ash wastes terrain, made with science-fiction (or grimdark) settings in mind, consists of 16 tiles, which make a 4′ x 4′ table:
closer up, it looks like this:
These are 16 tablescapes tiles from Secret Weapon, in case you were wondering. Next, we add some terrain:
Here’s another shot from a different angle, and in monochrome
The first thing I think is that I need to paint more terrain! I thought I’d picked up a lot, but this amounts to a mechanicum outpost, built perhaps unwisely on a planet thought long-dead.

Here’s a closer shot:
Looks good, but now I look at it all together it seems more like a good start than the finished article!
Nice table there Dave. The terrain is certainly a good start even if it doesn’t fill up a huge amount of the table yet.
Yes, when I laid it all out I was surprised how little space it occupied! That was 4 boxes’ worth.
I guess it’s because you made two large pieces that use a ton of parts. You could space even those two out with a ramp/walkway and they’d instantly take up quite a bit more table.
True, and if I buy another box I will definitely look at ways of maximising the space used, with those ones I pretty much followed the illustrated instructions.
That’s a great looking table. Very inspiring.
thanks, I’m hoping to put it to good use this year!
Cool looking battlefield!
Great looking tiles. Pretty much my dream of what the Ash wastes would look like.
Thanks!
