WIP 3'x3' modular Sewer board

Last Sunday, I started work on a sewer board, primarily for use in Malifaux, but any system that can use a sewer board can use it. It is based on 1' square tiles. I have 2 T's, 2 Straights, 2 corners, 2 end caps, and 1 blank. I am going to add raised components and walls. Currently, all the boards are ready for paint, with "side walks" along the channels and a cobblestone pattern everywhere else. I will probably try and get some walls started by this weekend, but the raised platforms will be farther off.
Here are some pictures from earlier in the week. A couple showing different set ups.


And 1 with a couple models for scale.

And a tile in the process of being cobblestoned.


At some point, I plan to do a tutorial on how to make one, and have been taking pictures through out.
This is the first of likely 8 boards I plan to do for Tacticon in September. The tiles will be magnetised to get them to stick together and not slide on the table.

That is really cool, if possible i would love to learn how to make that. A modular IG trench and bunker system, I have been wanting that forever.

Yeah, same here. Malifaux gave me the chance to do one on a smaller scale, less than half. The tiles I use are 1'x1', I think you can get 1-1/2' square, but no 2' ones. While the concept is the same, you would have to make your own tiles. I would be happy to help, and impart my wisdom, and unwanted comment.

I would like to learn as well because I had a similar idea for my Skaven to be basically running through an Empire sewer coming to attack the city

for Tacticon, the plan is 16 players, which is 8 tables, so I will have plenty of opportunity to demo anything anyone wants. I won't be doing all sewers, so there will be other info. I am thinking a bayou/swamp board, a street one, and probably a bad lands one, which will be mostly just flats with texture added.

Man where do you come up with the free time!? You have kids as well as a full time job..... I have work and school and it's all i can do to get my stuff assembled...

Time management. I actually do very little else, and kids do their own thing too.

did the kids help you make them??

No, but my oldest does want to set the tiles up and play with them. He wants to build a river.

wow when ur sewers r down they r going to look great
what game system r they going to be for

They are for Malifaux, but are probably pretty fair for 15 point Warmahordes games too...

The beauty of the system is that it can be used for any system, AND if I add 7 more boards it can be used for Warmahordes and the like. Its also easy to transport. And they're magnetised.
I won't be upgrading the size any time soon, though. I am trying to get 7 more boards built by Tacticon. They will hopefully be all different, with at least 1 being more difficult, but several easier. I also need to add elements to the top, so thats more time.
But after that.... I'm gonna be so sick of terrain

Any word on your whatchacallem status? Or do you need more stuff done to show them?

Henchman? I have to finish my crews first. I will probably talk to you tomorrow about some things for my application.

yea bro keep us updated on that its going to be really cool

I am. Actually, this took a back seat to my Seamus crew, while I try to get them finished. They should be finished sometime next week, likely even this Sunday, then I will dive back into the board.
Thanks for the comments. Glad everyone likes it.

Hmmm... hadn't realised I didn't have any painted pics. I will try and get those up tomorrow. Hopefully, some play in progress ones.

cant wait really

Here is the update I said I would get over the weekend. But if I had done it then, you wouldn't be able to see the shading I did on my bricks, and wouldn't you be sad!

wow that look really good so great job bro
and ur right i would be sad if i didnt see the shading

BTW, I didn't mean to set it up this way, but Taelor(white shirt) is SO talking smack!


Then Seamus shoots her.

Just a quick update. I have painted the water and built my grates. Its just edges, water effect, and paint and attach the grates.
Here are all the tiles.

And an up close of a few for a little detail. Lighting sucks though.

what are you going to use for water?

Nice CW looking fantastic. Can't wait to run Lady J on that board

Sorry for the delay in the reply, but I am actually looking at Futura floor wax for the water. I'll need to test it to see, but its the direction I'm looking. I will likely not make it very deep though, just use it for gloss rather than depth, how deep can you(do you want to) see into a sewer anyway.

that is fantastic great job with it
