    Ork and Imperial structures get all the hobbying love. I really need to see more Tau, Necron, and Eldar. Bonus points to anyone making Votann terrain.
    Single massive structures on near empty landscapes always make me think of a campaign or some narrative moment as opposed to boards with more evenly spaced and scattered terrain.

    I love the look of this board. Between the use of standard terrain techniques, adding in the crashed ship, water effects and LED lights it came together into a great looking board.

    • @BroadswordWargaming
      @BroadswordWargaming  10 місяців тому

      Thanks so much! Yeah, the LED light in was kind of a huge mind block, so managing to do this was massive. I know it's dead simple, but it's great to learn something new! 😌

    Oliver, whilst I knew you were working on the video, I didn't (just so other people know) get to see the video before it went live. I found myself shouting "LOOK AT YOU GO!" at the 10:05 mark! Thrilled that you got your feet wet with LED's, and that you're now hungry for more. Really excited just thinking of the stuff you'll build! Thanks for the shoutout.

    Glad to see options for lighting that don't require solder. Have no clue how to do it, don't have the tools or the space to learn right now. . Great work

    • @BroadswordWargaming
      @BroadswordWargaming  10 місяців тому +1

      Yeah, I honestly have no idea how to solder. I have a kit, but I've never opened or used it. Wire wrap, a wire wrap tool, some LEDs and a coin battery power "thing" should do the trick!
