This is pretty much exactly what I wanted to do with my cities of death back in the day. I made my buildings with gangways in mind but never got around to finishing them. Glad to see them finally serving their original intended purpose here Lachie!

A small motor, threaded rod, maybe a 3D printed gear (or jaycar should have something) and a simple frame would work, or go a cable setup and then you could use it on different heights too. Bonus points for a raspberry pie, and a sensor setup keyed for floors so you don’t have to manually turn on and off.
@@Zorpazorp you'll get another subscriber if you do lol. Seen a post on Facebook recently, showing how to make the drill whilst keeping it moveable. I'd love nothing more than some free flowing movement in terrain, so will be watching, love the work
Wonderful, in today's lesson we'll be starting on page 14 "How to build buildings and send them to Lachie to use in his stupidly massive project." Step one: Build your buildings as tall and ridiculous as possible Step two: Send Any questions class?
Love this! Verticality is one of the great underused features of 3d wargaming, I've always felt it's such a shame the official GW terrain rules don't work well with more vertical boards. I'm working on my own modular and vertical forge world board, so I'm looking forward to ideas to steal from this series!
I say do the elevator, but it has to go "Ding!" when it reaches a floor and the doors open. Also- if you use the sprues from all your kits for some hardcore plastic carpentry material, you can increase your square footage by half. Plus it's all so much stronger, angles and joints. Nice work here.
@@Zorpazorp can you imagine some grim determined Space marines covered in battle damage patiently waiting to get to the top floor to get the guy that gave them the damage as calming elevator music plays?
"BLOCK WAAAAAAR!!!" Boy, that is a cool tabletop full of terrain. Flipping the half-walls is genius. Have you seen Blackmagic Craft's Plague City build? It is mental; though not a modular as this. Dana Howl's got a really neat city build coming along too. I like her use of risers to add to the verticality.
Yeah Jez's build is so good haha! I might try and use some Archon kits at some point too, they're solid! Dana's is wicked too, I'll definitely have some risers too, it works great :)
Amazing project man, something like this was going to be one of my longer term goals but you totally beat me to the punch 😂 Truly epic build man, your subs are lucky to have you!
Only got back into 40k last year, one of the first perchases I made was a second hand copy of Cities of Death because I remembered it so fondly from when I was a kid, awesome work Locky
i always saw these kind of terrain pieces in games workshops and wanted one, now i have a 3D printer and no one who plays 40k. but let it be known the first person i come across who is up for a game will have the craziest board. you mark my words
That trick of flipping the broken walls to make damaged tall walls is great. It gave me the piece I needed to finish a cool ruined cathedral out of my basilica set.
Do it! Establish your terrain superiority. Make the elevator! Bonus points if you either install a speaker for elevator music or a nice "ding!" when you get to your floor
Absolutely love this and seeing you do terrain builds for the 40k/30k is the content we need (especially massive hive cityscapes) 😁 have you looked into necromunda for hive city inspiration?
The timing of this. 🤯 I’ve never even considered 40k until seeing the latest Kill Team release. The Korps aesthetic is just too irresistible. Love it Lachie.
This is an astounding video! I subscribed to your channel a mere two minutes in and watched the rest of the video with dumbfounded awe! As one whose imagination was also captured by Cities of Death, I am shocked at how seemingly easy it was for you to design such brilliant modular buildings, and am waiting with bated breath for the next video!
Still got the book on my shelf! Probably the single most influential thing on my hobbying. I modelled my tau after the scheme in the book since I hadn't seen it before (only for GW to make their new Tau in the new scheme lol) and bought a small force of Vostroyans to go with them right before they went out of print. This building is everything I want with cities of death!
Oh man, when I was a kid i built an elevator out one of the little lego spools with the crank handle and the string.We had rules where you'd roll 2d6 to see how many turns you could spin it, and you could choose to use part of them to stop at half levels to take cover using the floor. It worked TERRIBLY, contantly getting jammed on the elevator shaft walls, and it was clunky in game, but it was so freaking cool at the time.
Hahahaha cheers David, good to hear man :) This was actually just a totally unscripted joke I made off the cuff as a meme for my future self editing to have a laugh at and I threw it in cause I pissed myself haha
Haha it was good man, but this badboy came out alongside tyhe terrain kits and it was SUCH a crucial time for me right at the zenith of my 4th edition 40k obsession :)
@@Zorpazorp both versions were among my favourite 40k books ever made. I loved the themed armies they showcased - so inspirational. All your videos lately are inspiring me to do my own big build. I've got two crates of blue foam looking at me asking to be built!!
Knocking it out of the park yet again Man!! This is an exciting project, and i can hardly wait to see where you go with it. Also. As some one who wargames with lego, i HIGHLY value destructable terrain. It makes everything better when you can drive a speeder through a wall and paste the HQ unit behind it.
My first terrain project was a cities of Death build using a Realm of Battle: Sector Imperials board and grabbing as much GW city terrain as I could, adding balconies and walkways, well one magnetized walkway ;) all modular but this is some next level insanity right here, very nicely thought out and executed :)
2 seconds in and I'm already hooked! I'm really glad to see how much you have improved your style at filming, humour and ideas on your builds. Keep it up man!
How about an elevated mag-lev style train with a platform slicing through the middle of the buildings? Make the 'track' walkable, maybe even have a few mag lev carts on the tracks for movable line-of-sight blocking, etc. The hover train could also be at the height of a building's platform...and that building could have a crane attached to the side, etc.
As a Necromunda player, I love this. Some of the Sector Mechanicus kits might make for some interesting mid-town buildings, as well as supply you with more gantries and legs, and the Zone Mortalis stuff should give you more pillars if you need them, as well as external elevator kits. I've always wanted to make something along the same lines as this build (although even in my imagination, my buildings weren't as big as yours) but also include access points at street level to enter an underground tunnel network to combine both street level combat, and claustrophic corridor combat. You might also want to look for the 90s era Necromunda bulkheads for some additional wall sections. I might also need to find that Cities of Death book.
Mikey my lad, we are birds of a feather haha. The original version of this board I made as a kit had a massive sewer complex that we could have on a second table to the side that units could access by going down manholes in the streets, and you're spot on with those kit recomendations! My eventual plan is to have every GW 40k terrain kit ever released in the boasrd somewhere like a big slice of history :)
With a functionally quite similar, but aesthetically very different Infinity modular cyber punk city board project I'm definitely interested to see this one. Obviously all my neon lights are probably not going to have an equivalent, but certainly your making a usable multi story city is going to give me a lot of inspiration, and hopefully highlight a few potential pitfalls I'm hopefully early enough to avoid.
Love your channel, came here originally for the Star Wars Legion stuff, stayed because I'm in awe :P Keep it up, seeing a new video ends the day well :)
I love what you are doing here. I'm sitting on a few 40k terrain as well and trying to find a way to make a modular board as well. Can't wait to see what's coming next !
This is crazy good. One thing I would do with the walkways is add either really thick wire under it or plasticard for support. Just so they don't snap.
Best 40k modular terrain I've seen in a while. I remember GW showing in the white dwarf the biggest hive city THEY built and it wasn't modular. A massive monster of terrain that required a van and 4 strong people to move around... 😂
An operational miniature elevator would be amazing! I'd love to see the cinematic of some bloated nurgly dudes taking the elevator bevause they couldn't be bothered with the ladders. I don't know how you'd do it though, but even a video going over fun ideas for how it might possibly work could be fun, even if you aren't able to actually make it.
Looking great! I recently went through my Cities of Death book, such a gem! Been playing 5th ed with my mates as it's a lot easier to get into that the current bloated 9th.
Awesome concept. Too bad the new Sector Imperialis is not available at the moment apart from the Sisters of Battle special Building and the newest additions to this system, the newer Battlezone: Manufactorum pieces are a quick-build variant with very limited options out of the gate (sure, you can cut them apart, but that adds a lot of work they could have spared us).
Those pieces look lovely but IO hate that there is zero modularity with the wall sections. I might pick some up but they'll be going through a saw blade haha!
Yeah that was the biggest disappointment for me with the box. Your video definitely gave me ideas of how to chop it up though! The way you combined the 2 small wrecked walls into the large wall with the gash in it especially. Super excited to see where you take this!
This might be too much of a play feature, and the walls might be too thin... but I think it would be fun if you magnetized the doors. You could have them closed to block sight lines, then kick them in as units move through by popping them out with your fingers. It would feel awesome to do in game.
Are you...mixing super glue and plastic glue? Fumes aside, that's genius. The CA glue cures quickly and holds the pieces in place, while the plastic glue melts everything together and makes it nice and strong.
When building these massive kits I use three glues, Plastic cement for a nice long term plastic weld, Cyanoacrylate Super glue for a fast instant bond, which is quickened by an activator which is the spray you see, and then a really strong and impact resistant bonding agent like Tarzan's Grip General Purpose, which becomes like a gluey rubber. I use the first two on the actual contact surface, and the third as a filler glue when joining uneven surfaces and on the bottom side of joins with only a single plane of contact like the side by side floor tiles who need some shear strength :)
All that verticality will lead to interesting line of sight challenges (not a bad thing, because smart players will use opponents blind spots to advantage) - which I suspect will require some 'house rules' - possibly a modification of the Advanced Squad leader LOS rules to account for measured distance rather than hexes . . .
The motorized mechanism sounds really cool. I wonder what would be the most efficient way of doing it without ruining what you built. You would probably have to install rails on the inside, for instance.
lets see that mechanized madness! how cool would it be for terrain to be constantly moving, like not just once in the game but like skyscrapers like this maybe has some above city rail transport that is constantly moving. or maybe next time or for another terrain build like inside a forge or something but where like the terrain is constantly moving every turn!! anyways cool video still feeling pretty inspired to build my own. well ive been wanting to build my own terrain for a while now but still very cool!
This is pretty much exactly what I wanted to do with my cities of death back in the day. I made my buildings with gangways in mind but never got around to finishing them. Glad to see them finally serving their original intended purpose here Lachie!

A motorized elevator would be pretty sweet to see. That said, you do you, boo.
It is tempting haha
your best video yet!!! amazing
Thanks so much Tim!
Dude, that looks great. I've never had the money for Citadel terrain, my 40k table at home is mostly foamcore.
Yeah it's pricey stuff, all of those kits is the summation of an entire childood of pocket money of me and my best mate haha
a working elevator is complete madness. do it!
It's coming Nat fear not!
For once I would like a building that isn’t damaged in any way just so we could build a hive city
This is truly a beauty
Awesome. I have just got a couple of Archon Rampart Cathedral kits for a very modest build. Not quite as good as GW but much cheaper.
Yeah I'll definitely be doing an Archon city block I think
I love this. Awesome Job
Thanks Noggi!
cannot wait to see more
Thanks Jacob!
The motorized mechanism sounds really cool. I wonder what would be the most efficient way of doing it without ruining what you built. You would probably have to install rails on the inside, for instance.
Definitely need to make that motorised elevator
IT'S HAPPENING, SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN BOUGHT!
What is that spray thingy you are using at 4:21?
lets see that mechanized madness! how cool would it be for terrain to be constantly moving, like not just once in the game but like skyscrapers like this maybe has some above city rail transport that is constantly moving. or maybe next time or for another terrain build like inside a forge or something but where like the terrain is constantly moving every turn!! anyways cool video still feeling pretty inspired to build my own. well ive been wanting to build my own terrain for a while now but still very cool!
Joseph you're onto something here!!
I've got a couple of city blocks put aside to be a ForgeWorld complex I might look into some automation!
Have you ever used the Rampart stuff? it comes with magnet holes as part of the design, the ultimate modularity
Not yet! But it's on my list to check out
@@Zorpazorp I'm looking forward to see what you can do with it. I have a bunch of it but no good way of making modular floors for the magnetized walls
@0:50 well that cought me off guard
Hehehe
