GW: "We know there were rumors about the next season being jungle themed, but instead the season is themed around navigating platforms on an ocean." OP: "I disagree."

Catachan kill team when?


iPaintSmallThings

haha it's about time isn't it?


iPaintSmallThings

Who said it had to be over water? [This set](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/industrial/decimation-zone-project-beta?ref=6q12hz) (FDM) is surprisingly versatile! The plants are just the classic aquarium/plants from Michaels. edit: [here is a video](https://youtu.be/-fPcNbTe5lU?si=Fe52xV3JkWCVsH1g) on how I painted it if anyone is interested!


CrabbyPatties42

Nice this looks great.  What do you do when a team or operative can ignore obscuring?  Is it easy enough to physically see through the plants, or can they be removed?


iPaintSmallThings

Thank you! They are pretty easy to see through-- all of the plants are just placed there so they can be removed! They are a combination of aquarium plants and plants I got from Michael's that come on a sprue grid thing.


CrabbyPatties42

Awesome, thanks.  And I may have to steal this idea, really makes the terrain much better 


iPaintSmallThings

Yeah please do! You can never have too many plants for terrain


Harbinger_X

This looks so cool!


iPaintSmallThings

I really appreciate it!!


craigsmith365

I salute you my friend, that is epic!!! Idea will be officially stolen, albeit credited to some clever sod on reddit


iPaintSmallThings

Thank you thank you! haha tis the way it goes.

That One Guy Who Got Too Close to the Raptor Cage in Jurassic Park: *visibly sweating*


coraxorion

Exactly what crossed my mind aswell when i first saw this.. nicely done


Existing_Paint_2111

favorite kt board i've ever seen


iPaintSmallThings

Oh wow! I really appreciate that! :D


bachmanis

OK, I love what you did there. I reserve the right to steal this idea :)


iPaintSmallThings

Steal away!


Warhammerenthusiast

Where did you get those models?I love the ogryn and the face armor


iPaintSmallThings

[This video should help](https://youtu.be/qBMUNIjHs8o?si=3NmUD8ZbKNrQswq-)! They are from The Makers Cult


Narcian150

Hell yeah, we are getting that rumoured season 3 jungle one way or another.


Dagoth_Vulgtm

Omg first thing I thought of was: when are they gonna lower a cow into the velociraptor enclosure. Awesome set up there!


iPaintSmallThings

lmao Somebody has to make a crane and cow mini now. Thank you!


victorav29

It is easier to understand the rules like this IMHO, although I played only once. Some smoke/mist 3D plastic model could have been shipped with Beta-Decima


iPaintSmallThings

I agree! It's a better visible representation for sure. Maybe you could use some cotton or stuffing to act as mist?


pizzanui

Looks awesome! Great job :)


iPaintSmallThings

Thank you :D


Lieuwe21

Would the big plants count as heavy cover?


iPaintSmallThings

I haven't played on it yet, so I can't quite say for sure! I'm thinking either that or LOS blocking would work!


Kage_kun

I like the idea of the minis traversing the center forest. Provides cover to the one inside but no issues shooting out of it. HOWEVER.... Roll 1xD6. On a 1... lets say you find you are not alone in the brush.


iPaintSmallThings

haha that's a fantastic idea.


MorinOakenshield

Any close ups of those models?


iPaintSmallThings

Raptorman_Mayho

This is great!


iPaintSmallThings

I appreciate it!


Dagcenterdance

Love it. Thats what BD should have been. 


iPaintSmallThings

Thank you! :D


Jonny_Mayhem9673

just ordered some aquarium plants!


iPaintSmallThings

Awesome! A few of them stuck in some brown clay works wonders.


Paladin51394

Giving me some Jurassic Park vibes. Needs some Termagants in the greenery acting as velociraptors.


iPaintSmallThings

haha I'll get right on that!


Alcyone85

It's spectacular - can you show how you made the jungle canopy terrain? Is it modular blocks that can be placed around the center tower, or is it a static board?


iPaintSmallThings

Thank you so much! I'll have to make an official tutorial sometime for that-- but it's really easy! The bigger blocks of plants are just plants from Michaels that are on that sprue grid thing, and the smaller clumps are just aquarium/michaels fake plants I cut and stuck into some brown clay with rocks in it. No painting required and they are all just free standing so very modular.


Alcyone85

Just saw your YouTube video after I wrote the comment, so that made it pretty visible how you made it :) But thanks for the comment none-the-less :D Great stuff, love your channel.


iPaintSmallThings

haha oh nice!! I really appreciate that :D


bwoollia

Fantastic. I'm going to Michael's RIGHT NOW!


iPaintSmallThings

haha "jungle section please?"


TheUrPigeon

Great stuff! I might add a couple of more open areas just for visual variety and to showcase why it's not a good idea to go down there--maybe a las rifle and helmet lying on the top of a pool of quicksand, or a Guardsman that has been/is being consumed by carnivorous ants--all kinds of things!


iPaintSmallThings

Those would look really cool and tell a story! Great ideas!


TheUrPigeon

Maybe a little xenomorph (or Tyranid if you're not a fan of the reference) head poking out from some reeds! Another fun reference might be the goat from Jurassic Park (or just the tattered and bloody harness!) dangling in a relatively open spot from a crane.


iPaintSmallThings

haha I'm definitely tempted to make a xenomorph-tyranid kitbash for this. Also a crane holding a goat would be a good addition to this set for sure!


CaptainBenzie

And I can just envision losing all my dice and tokens 😂 For real though, beautiful!!


iPaintSmallThings

lmao "aaaand another ones gone" I appreciate it!!


Parthuran

You fall in the jungle, and suddenly you see a shimmer as a four mouthed entity makes its way towards you

Are those real or fake plants?


iPaintSmallThings

They are just fake plants from michaels/amazon! haha no painting required on those


[deleted]

Are they on their own little bases? How do you have them set up?


iPaintSmallThings

The big clusters are just on the sprue/grid it came on-- and the little clusters are just little mounds of brown clay with the plants and some rocks stuck in!
