Definitely a 4' by 4' (as i'll be looking at doing 25pt games) and having it in 2' by 2' boards would be a great idea. Terrain wise, ideally we'd be looking to do a small town possibly khadoran, with a stream and bridge on the board somewhere, there's a guide of how to do a khadoran inn on the privateer website so may use that for inspiration to make some buildings.

Personally if we are making one decent show board, I would suggest making a modular piece. Probably pink insulation foam attatched to several pieces of wood. Then you can work in not only hills and mounds, but also trenches, rivers and ponds. Always appears better when a table goes down aswell as up.

There should be some artwork in the books, though it would be mainly background as the characters and jacks take pride of place in the foreground. It's a steampunk setting, so industrial age/victorian era buildings would easily suit. As long as we put our heads together on this we can make this look awesome, i know vince will have some tips we could use

Might be worth giving the Terrain Studio videos on RHQTV a watch. Shawn was taking people through creating a modular tile set, mainly for Flames of War, but the principles might be of some use.

Some beautiful bits of WARMAHORDES terrain on this
Senji Studios site. Scrolling down, I found some really interesting bits of faction based scenery. Might just be worth looking at for a bit of inspiration for the table.

We have a pallet of foam spacers at work that we don't use anymore that i am planning to raid and take home gradually(boss was glad i offered to take them off his hands!) that may be of use for a set gaming board.
I'm more than happy to help out with any terrain building you guys need, just let me know. Can do the river pieces and bridge if you like? If have till January should be able to put something quite good out i hope!

Right, I've started on an ancient Menoth Temple for our table. It's covered in still slightly wet filler right now, so is waiting to be sprayed. When it is finally sprayed, I will definately get some pics posted.
