Hey everyone, Sam here also known as MrStainless and if there's one thing that I want to
be doing more of in 2018 it's tabletop gaming.
It was something I was interested in as a kid, I moved away from
the hobby for a long time, but now it's drawn me back in.
You've likely seen my recent videos covering the new Fallout Wasteland Warfare game from
Modiphius thats coming out, if you haven't, there's a little annotation in the corner.
But basically after seeing the game, and after pre-ordering the starter set I kind of thought
it would be cool to have a fallout themed game board to play it on.
So, over the next couple of months I'm going to be planning, building and crafting my own
Fallout Gaming Board, and I'm taking you all along with me.
I'm going to be creating videos showing off my progress and my process in how I do
each stage.
Now I've never made a game board before so I'm hoping that not only will it give
you guys some cool tips but equally, hopefully give you all the confidence to do this at
home.
So if you want to stay up to date with my progress there are three things you can do:
- First of all you can subscribe and hit the bell icon to be notified of when my build
videos go live, I'll be doing these once a month, tackling a new stage of the build
each time.
- Second of all you can join my Discord in the video description, I have a hobby chat
there where I'll be posting videos, answering questions and chatting about my progress.
- Thirdly you can head on over to Beasts of War and check out the forum thread there I
have where I'll be doing the same.
So today we're going to be talking about planning and my vision for the game board.
Now going in to this project there were three things I knew:
- The board had to be 3 foot by 3 foot, the standard game size for Wasteland Warfare.
- I had to do it on a budget of £50-60.
- And finally, I wanted this act as a sort-of player settlement.
So I started researching settlements in Fallout 4, looking for imagery, plans and designs
that could give me a bit of inspiration but that equally looked like they could be made
within my very limited skill level.
One settlement that I really liked the look of was Abernathy farm, it's incredibly basic
looking, a few metal fences, some crops growing and a robust junk structure with a massive
pylon attached.
I equally came across the Covenant settlement which looked really cool, I loved the pre-war
architecture but it seemed very confined and I wanted to have plenty of open spaces where
my mini's could explore.
This is equally the point where I came across the Woodbury Rise series of buildings from
4Ground, if you don't know who 4Ground is they create some stunning pieces of scenery,
buildings and terrain.
They've created some perfectly suited residential buildings but not only that, some stunning
ruined homes as well which I'd love to have as the main centrepieces of my board.
So, with that in mind I decided to combine the aesthetics and styles of both Covenant
and Abernathy farm to create a rural hamlet that has been repurposed as a settlement.
So I started mapping out what I'd need to build, perhaps where I'd put it on my 3x3
sheet of MDF.
I think the really important thing for me, especially in this build, is that there isn't
any pressure to completely pack out the board with elements.
In Wasteland Warfare players will have the ability to upgrade their settlements after
every match, investing caps they've found in the narrative mode so for me I wanted to
give myself the option to add to this build as I progress through the game, maybe add
a watchtower, or add a junk fence rather than just a normal metal fence.
Equally because of that it's important also that the elements of the board can be removed
so that they CAN be upgraded.
So here is what I've planned out to start off with.
At the top of the board I've used the dimensions of 4Grounds Woodbury Rise houses and set out
a place for two of them, just below that I've got an area where my survivors can farm some
food, I'll likely create a little waist-high fence as well for this area just to keep those
hungry Brahmin away.
To the left of the board there I realised that my survivors are going to need some form
of power so I've set out a 6x6 CM area to create a junk wind-turbine which I think will
be a really nice addition.
Then towards the bottom of the board I've got what could be a dirt road, I'm not sure,
if I really want to challenge myself I'll make this a dilapadated concrete road, we'll
just wait and see.
But basically thats it as it stands so far.
It may not look overly complicated but because this is my first gaming board and the first
time I've done any of this I didn't want to make things so complicated that they weren't
actually achievable.
So with the planning done, all that's left to do now is to actually lay down the foundations
of the board, get it painted, prepped, flocked and ready for our terrain elements.
And that's exactly what we'll be doing next episode.
So folks, if you want to join me on this journey as I create my first gaming board please do
feel free to hit that subscribe button to be kept up to date with my progress, if this
build goes well i'd love to do more in the future, perhaps even build a Vault, who knows,
but in the meantime thank you so much for watching, have a great week and I'll speak
to you soon.
