How to make a terrain board for warhammer games

The first thing to consider when pursuing a Warhammer gaming hobby is to build a terrain board that will fit all of your models. This will give you a fun and exciting place to put all your Warhammer games in a much better place to play than your kitchen table or floor.

It will also provide you with more options in your terrain pieces and create more terrain pieces to fit on your table, creating a gaming environment that looks and feels impressive and realistic. It will also enhance your gaming experience and allow you to play more with its wide space area depending on the size you are going to play.

This article is a step-by-step guide on how to make your own game boards. There are many options for creating your own game boards, including the materials to be used, but this is the easiest and cheapest I have found so far.

What size board should you create?

There are a few options to choose from. They include:

-2 x 2′

-4’x4′

-4’x6′

-4’x8′

(‘ denotes feet – one foot = 30 cm)

The 2′ x 2′ boards are very flexible and allow you to create terrain that you can move and form into multiple pieces, especially if you are building on hills or rivers.

However, our favorite size to go for is 4′ x 4′ boards as this is a very good standard board size and is great for battles up to a few thousand points on each side. It’s also easy to add two of these boards together to form a 4′ x 8′ playing area for especially large battles, whereas with the 2′ x 2′ boards this is a bit more involved and creates a very large playing area. gaps and unsightly lines.

But in the end it is always you who chooses which board best suits your gaming mood.
Materials and tools needed

Here is a list of materials you will need:

-1/2 sheet of plywood (4′ x 4′)

-16′ of 2?x1? (pine is what we use, but it doesn’t matter)

-16×1 1/4? screws

-drill

-small drill bit (3/16? should work)

– measuring tape

-pencil

-saw

-sandpaper

(WARNING: You should ALWAYS have adult supervision when using any tool or power tool.)

Step 1 – Cut 2?x1? to size

Our first step that we are going to do is divide the 2?x1? into four pieces, two 4 feet long and the other two 46 inches long.

Step 2 – Create the base

Drill holes in the wood first before driving the screws. This will prevent the wood from splitting. After you have drilled holes into the wood, you can drive the screws in with your power drill if you have one or just by hand. Be sure to screw it on tight to gain enough strength on its base.

Step 3 – Attach the Top

Attach the plywood to the top of your frame. Once again, drill holes where you are going to put the screws to prevent splitting. Three or four screws on each side should be enough. Once you’re done screwing the plywood into your frame, use the sandpaper to smooth down all the corners to get rid of the silvery wood. This will give you a smooth edge on your table for a better look.
That’s it, after polishing all the edges and sides, be sure to check all the screws, if they are tight enough, you now have your game board with a solid foundation. The next step is to finish the top, but that will be discussed in another article.
