I uploaded some playmat designs to the inked gaming site, named Industrial Floor (zone mortialis/necromunda) and Boarding Action (Kill Team Into the Dark). I can't add links, as RUclips will auto-delete the comment, but searching 'Inked Gaming' plus 'industrial Floor' or 'Boarding Action' should get you to them. Enjoy.
After being recommended this channel by a friend the algorithms have opened up to all manner of great necromunda terrain focused channels. Appreciate the effort you put in to helping your fellow hobbyist.
For printing I really recommend the Risor set by Print Minis on MMF. They are not one to one copies, though they mesh well. The designer has put a great deal of thought in how things should fit together and how to accomplish things the original set would not.
I've recently discovered blocking Matt's for knitting. They are 12 x 12', you get 9 in a pack, they have a bag, are 1cm thick and one side is like mezzanine and cost about £20. I painted them up with acrylic from the pound store. I use one side for Gaslands Refuelled, the other for Dust Tactics.
I feel like there needs to be another video. "How much do you need" Though there is obviously no definitive answer, I bet your experience has told you what it takes to fill up various board sizes including how to do so with multi-level options. I followed your designs for modularity, and realized quickly that that was only the start and that I really didn't have enough.
You’re right. The ki d of annoying thing with Necromunda terrain is however much you think you’ll need, you’ll need more. And the cost goes up exponentially. That’s when I started scratch building bits. Adding MDF parts and making what I had super Modular. If it helps I can fill a 4x4 table on two, sometimes three (in places) using only 4 boxes of columns and walls and 4 boxes of stairs. The rest are scratch concrete walls, MDF archways, pipe walls and and my own laser cut designs.
Thanks for the shout out! I'd recommend building the elevators either on a tile (or a platform like in the video) with them resting along a column while the glue dries to help with the angle issues but given there is a little bit of play with the tolerances it can be difficult to 100% solve the issue when things are modular. Even if you aren't going to build with tiles, if you can get a single one it is a good building tool for making sure your walls, columns, and elevators are built to spec. Great video with some nice flooring options. Keep up the good work!
Hey! Yeah, that’s the irony. I built everything using other parts as guides to hold while glueing. But you’re right, the tolerances on the parts that join aren’t 100% so what you think is 90 degrees on one part, isn’t 90 on another. You live and learn!
Wow. Genius idea. I printed my Hazard stripes, posters or markings but never thought about to print a tile or a sump. Looking forward to the sump print.
Great video bud. Nicely timed as well. Been thinking of a way to build two boards (3'-2') for Kill Team, one open board one Necromunda style, but have them built in a way that one can be stacked on top of another so you have like an indoor/ outdoor underhive to pick from. Was gonna go for 12" squares for ease of measurements and allows for rotational symmetry. Struggling with the indoor tiles as I didn't want to pay through the nose for GW, but also wanted some ground textured without restricting terrain placement. But this gives me food for though. Would love to see a run through of your own Necromunda table in a future video.
I know exactly what you mean. I wanted similar. Indoor, outdoor, stacked, spread out, claustrophobic. All from the same terrain and didn’t want to spend the earth. PVC battlemats are a good option for you because they can still be sliced up into 12” squares, already have the design and can be glued to something more rigid. And for like €40 you can get 4’x4’ which is cheaper than one box of tiles!
I have made my own 12" tile out of chip board and dry wall tape and i've been 3d printing zone mortalis floor tiles. I presently have enough for a 2x2 board and i'm going to keep printing until i have enough for a 3x3. i use them as bases for a combo of scratch built and GW terrain. i have a distillery and a tile with a shop, communications bunker and apartment tower. To flatten folded paper mats you had the right idea with the iron. you need to sandwich between two towels and use a little bit of steam if you are feeling bold. then put heavy books on top to keep them flat. then you can glue them down to chip board or foam core.
Some really great ideas there. Thanks for that. As for paper mats, tbh I just replace them with something better usually. I’m not a huge fan of ironing. 🤣
@thestateofplay2023 Will, (or anyone else on the thread...), I'm ordering the dragon's rest tiles you mention, any discount codes for TableTopTerrain orders?). Nice work on the vids, keep them coming.
@@thestateofplay2023 It's funny, I'd been pondering doing a similar video for my channel because I have one of my technique for painting the zone mortalis tiles but I don't use them often. They're a bit annoying. lol
I imagine it would work really well. Provided it dried really clear and didn’t obscure the print underneath. It’s actually a technique I’ve used before on a sheet of glass for water terrain to have waves. I guess on sump, I took the idea that it wouldn’t have waves. 😀
Thanks for your videos. Been trying to motivate myself to get into Necromunda. I’m still trying to understand what the black and white ZM tile you show around 6:22 is. Did you just print it and stick it to a base? It looks so intriguing!
@@jakecrowe3797 A Cricut is really good for this hobby. Especially for making things out of card. It struggles a bit with thicker material but it's a powerhouse!
Please list any others in the comments. Hopefully we can create a big comprehensive list here of all possible options.

It’s my pleasure. If I can save one person some money - I’ve done my job!

I’m just getting into printing now so I’ll check those out thanks!!

Ooh!! I love new things to try. Thanks!!!
i just saved this playlist for reference and also bingewatching
It’s no Game of Thrones but it’ll pass the time! 🤣

Dying to see how you made that sump tile at the end of the video! Great video, has really got my juices going
Good timing! I’m literally working on that video now. 😜
Wow. Genius idea. I printed my Hazard stripes, posters or markings but never thought about to print a tile or a sump. Looking forward to the sump print.
👍🏼
Great video
Thanks 👍🏼
marvel crisis protocol is pretty nice, they released for free, poster and magasine to print and glue on your bases and buildings
Oh yeah! I remember those.

Note that many 'Sector Fatalis' sellers online are selling them at 1/4 the GW price....but also at 1/4 the square footage. Be wary!
Yeah, I can’t recommend buying other peoples 3D printed stuff. It’s almost always cheaper to buy a 3D printer and print the STLs yourself. 👍🏼

@@thestateofplay2023 yeah it's not really worth it to iron and glue down the paper ones. it's a lot of work for something that isn't very durable.
i am starting to hate my 3d printed tiles and am switching over to scratch building them. too limiting on placement.
Yeah, makes sense
@thestateofplay2023 Will, (or anyone else on the thread...), I'm ordering the dragon's rest tiles you mention, any discount codes for TableTopTerrain orders?). Nice work on the vids, keep them coming.
Sadly I haven’t found any myself. Hopefully someone else here can help. 🤔
Quite a nice video, lots of options. Well done!
Thank you. I’m sure I didn’t catch them all but hope it helped.

Did you find that any of them wobbled? They weren’t completely flat?
@@thestateofplay2023 yes to both, plus if you're not 100% accurate with the column and wall alignment during assembly they don't always fit.
@@normalguygames ok, glad it wasn’t just me. 👍🏼
Have you tried the Battle Systems box sets? The mats are included in the box.
Yes I have 4 boxes. I mostly use it for post apocalyptic games and have even laser cut my own extras. 👍🏼
I'm curious what water texture fx would look like applied to your 2D sump decal.
I imagine it would work really well. Provided it dried really clear and didn’t obscure the print underneath.
It’s actually a technique I’ve used before on a sheet of glass for water terrain to have waves.
I guess on sump, I took the idea that it wouldn’t have waves. 😀
Great vid
Thanks Matt. Concise and complimentary as always. 😀
Thanks for your videos. Been trying to motivate myself to get into Necromunda. I’m still trying to understand what the black and white ZM tile you show around 6:22 is. Did you just print it and stick it to a base? It looks so intriguing!
Correct. I just designed it and printed it to help me figure out quick ways to make a table.
@@thestateofplay2023 Cool! Got myself a Cricut and notice there’s not a lot of documented use in the hobby. Might have to start experimenting.

Ebay has some cool pdf files for printing
Brilliant!
Love the 2D printed stuff - any place to get some fo those that you showed?
Still trying to figure that out but you could always screen grab the section with the sump image in HD on a computer?
