How to Make a Miniature War Gaming Table

[abc114able]

@MMODoubler actually it's one of Dave's relatives.

[FlyingAxblade]

you said an afternoon, it only took 7 minutes! Wizardry I tell you it smacks of wizardry. I am surprised though that you had not made a guard rail on top. Perhaps just glueing a number of yardsticks around the rim (handily providing instant reference markers and keeping dice or figures from falling off the edge) and only losing 3" of playing surface. have you seen the guy that has a projector projecting down on his table--connected to his laptop too, so he can make magic f/x--?

[CheffBryan]

Good tutorial for a table, period! But for war gaming, you might want to consider cutting holes into the table, slice the leftover piece into smaller circles and use a thin piece of wood to create a triangle for them to rest in. Nail it to the bottom side wight where the hole is, so you can have a depression directly into the board. Should make some awesome pools or small lakes!

[JuryDutySummons]

I got a 4x8 sheet of fleece for cheep that makes a great cover.

[Ricochet8844]

2:16 RIP Headphone users

[Gamer5449]

Play flames of war

[Songbreezun]

Guy in a Space Marine outfit out on the streets to advertize. I saw, at a comic convention, someone in a full costume dressed as a Chaos space marine. Should get some guys in front of every gaming store or club dressed as space marines.

[Housemill100]

Now show us how to build a room to have it in! ;P

[l33tutter]

WUNDERBAUM!

[jasanpahaf]

may be some music in the background might make it better



[bigjimswafflehouse]

So it's basically just like building a flat for theaters.

[killerjoey123]

did you glue the 1x3 brces on or just didnt attach them at all



[casper77777777]

Having someone holding a sign while being dressed up as a Warhammer 40k character is a good idea.

[stethespaniard2]

i just used my pool table already got the grass texture too

[mapleloot]

also do you just paint over it once it is complete? any tips for covering up the nails.

Thanks

[mapleloot]

hey Im making a list for tomorrow, please tell me if I got the list right.

inch and a half long nails

1 4x6 foot 3/8 of inch think

4 46.5 1 by 3's

2 6 foot, 1by 3's

[cowboyx1970]

@1:42 here's an idea: show us how to make the table already

[TheTechCorner]

NO CAT = Instantly 100x Harder!

[MrKoiking1]

im thinking of making one, i have the wood, but its in peices to store and move easy, do i still need to brase it?

[MrKoiking1]

good idea

[OZITOMAE]

i dont get how these guys went from good amount of views to pathetic amounts now, these guys are great

[ka1guasu]

i wont lie i was kind of expecting The warthog Music from Red Vs. Blue.

[massimo24connotati]

Great tutorial

[LastRussianEmporer]

I wish I live in Canada just so I could go to your gaming club. I have a feeling your selection is better than our lgs.

[TheRaivaaja]

After watching this video I realised something.

I don't even play Warhammer or any miniature games!! Why did I watch this? How did I even get here?!?

Oh well, it was a good watch. Carry on.

[someone2197]

@TheRaivaaja LOL me too xDD

[SnagrodThraka]

you should make a life size Deffy and put him on top of the club

[TheSGRob]

'sandras gonna give me a hand with that' then watch for 5 mins while she just watches as you build this table xD

awesome table, me and my mates 'built' one recently, but we just bought 3, 4foot by 2foot bits of wood and lay them lengthways ontop of my dinging room table to make a 6by4 table. Its not connnected and its just plain wood that we put buildings and trees on, but its better then playing on the floor :)

[StephenaGoodwin9]

I think it would be a good idea for the space marine with sign thing. If you sculpt it yourself the first thing that came to my mind was a ton of green stuff

[daemonprince505]

why not a chaos space marine!

[gada1231]

i think its a good idea. the space marine in front of the store.

[clandunlop]

OMG!! i am moving to canada, so i can make your gaming tables for you!!

[clandunlop]

is there a reason that you dont glue the 1x3 to the plywood??

i know i know.. i am a carpenter....

[DraskyVanderhoff]

Holding the Sing... But in a Banner!

[DJTripleThreat78]

If I ever go on a road trip to Canada, I'll have to swing by your club.

[FenderStratster]

would mdf work just aswell as plywood

[KirKanos08]

@FenderStratster Not sturdy enough - large sheets will bend

[SuperDrChappers]

Genius Idea: why not do a war gaming style vlog whilst driving round in your truck. Getting inspiration from things you see on the street

[Pwntus]

@SuperDrChappers YEEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

...I've always wanted to see a Santa Claus SM Chaplain. =D

[AGrumpyPanda]

Nobody cares which side you drive on, as long as you know the norm in the given country and you don't crash :P

And besides, we all know that most countries that drive on the right just hate England, while Australia just drives on the left to be awesome :P

[spectra747]

that is a boss idea

[Jowenator]

how do you think i should make authentic grass because i have sprayed my table a muddy colour, do you think i should just buy a load of static grass and then just cover it or just spray parts green

[Ashkinda]

@Jowenator I'd probably just get the citadel battlemat or something similar (most places which sell train sets etc have a grass mat), that way you get a perfect even mat of static grass for much cheaper than buying pots of the stuff. You then have an option of having a different colour surface underneath so your board doesnt have to be just grass all the time, or you can staple/glue your grass mat to the board and cut pieces out if you want to make pools/roads etc. Much less mess too!

[swarvega]

what you need is women in bikinis holding a sign saying come in and play games

[BluePit864]

i believe its called a steel mill not a factory

[ZoMbieKid97656]

1:16 -_- He's here already!

[DragonbornKiller]

Like the design on that truck, Undercoated skull white and then highlited skull white... Excellent painting

[barbarianberzerk]

Well to make a small gametable i just used a wallpaper table and supported it with boxes. :P So...FTW.

[BlitzkreigYYZ]

Behold, the mythical female.

[spartandud3]

@BlitzkreigYYZ  i thought that was just a rumour....

[Ricochet8844]

@BlitzkreigYYZ The mythical WARGAMING female.

[MMODoubter]

@BlitzkreigYYZ

A gamer's wife or GF, probably.

[scootermaster090]

i love your clips!

[scootermaster090]

you are the best!

[scootermaster090]

all of your videos are the best! from harry yeoman

[beybladeboy98]

who erlse was expecting the truck to look like a trukk?

[hepalamukala]

yup if you get space marine suit i will come to your club all the way from finland :)

[K1ps1]

hire an Uruk-hai to stand outside your club to scare the customers away xD i would come.........

[therealynoobguy]

we play so you don't get put out of the job. LOL, great vid

[jjjet2000]

do tht advertisement

[pkingstr94]

at 5.55 u swore at the table :( poor table

[pkingstr94]

good driving dave

[MinecraftMarik]

there is a card board space marine out side of the showcase comics at the mall i go to! XD

[chazknight10]

thats a good idea but instead you could have difrent guys wondering around town one could be a sm one could be eldar and one could be a ork

[thisisaname182]

well we have a gamesworkshop in the mall here and they have a giant space marine in the doorway and well it drew me in so i think it would work

[LordRalmep]

How fast do you drive :o

[hpwebcam45]

yes random advertising space marine

[Spartan17725]

one part is 6ft, what is the other side?

[Warhammerforlife7]

@Spartan17725 4 ft

[Spartan17725]

@Warhammerforlife7 thank you :)

[Warhammerforlife7]

@Spartan17725 Ya no problem

[mapledragons]

ive got A question, Im about to make me Landscape (all outa Polystyreen (or somethin) into a good looking gaming table? u said there were mistakes in the old vid.. wich were they? i realy dont want to make any mistakes on my table.. that would suck. btw hows the cat doing?

[epicorks4brkfst]

at 1:48 it says huge ass

[Th01333]

Instead of a space marine statue use a poster. You could have a space marine on the front in a pose from a World War One recruitment poster. But if you can get a life size space marine statue that would be insanely cool.

[Angryification]

What's the matter? You never seen girls before?

[Angryification]

Use an old dining table?

[Dude5464673]

you guys should make advertisements on billboards

[Litterboxer529]

A girl that wargames? That is hot...

[mcrjay23]

lol so many "thats what she said" that could be yelled out during this video lol oh i love being immature =)

[purgeandcleanse]

Welland looks so much like my home town in illinois 0_0 (sorry if i misspelled the name)

[HollowVampire]

@Tunarimmyjay **Dave reads this and thinks... "Crap..."**

[starcarft21999]

yeah get the maurin

[SODOM453]

yep the cat helps

[TheSirRoberto]

your driving on the wrong side of the road!! your going to die!! jokes :) greetings from england, great video :D

[Klajnepojken]

@TheSirRoberto

Well, if you look at most other countries it seems like you are driving on the wrong side of the road.

[Anilithun]

@TheSirRoberto To be honest, only you guys drive on that side. So to most people you are wrong =p

[IIproductionsII]

@Anilithun Nope, in Australia we drive on that side to. Actually most countries drive in the left hand side....it's only really France, America, Spain and a few others who drive on the right hand side.

[Anilithun]

@IIproductionsII " About 72% of the world's total road distance carries traffic on the right, and 28% on the left." Quoted from Wikipedia. Enjoy your lies.

[exo6desmo8]

@IIproductionsII Why are you saying something like that, when you obviously dont have ANY idea what so ever about the subject. I guess you simply like lying, ALOT.

[AGrumpyPanda]

@IIproductionsII A few others like the rest of the world bar England, Australia, India and southern parts of Africa... colonialism ftf :P

[daemonprince505]

@TheSirRoberto england is really bad it's to cold!

[TheSirRoberto]

@daemonprince505 Nahh is it hell ;) it's sunshining in winter its, like 7/8 degrees outside... it should be more like -1 to -5 degrees lol :)

[16piller16lol]

Hire a miget, paint him green, make an Ork.

[pinglauwa]

@16piller16lol A midget painted green? That would be a gobbo not an ork ;)

[solocaster13]

how do you keep them up when you flip it?

[minijawa1st]

good plan with the space marine in the uk wher i am ther is a 7ft space marine outside a gw shop and it looks realle cool

[WarHammer40kWorld]

@minijawa1st Is that in nottingham? :) or elsewhere?

[shizlnit]

rental truck? lol



[weaponhand57]

where do you get won of those tables that is under the gaming board that has foldable legs?

[DeadStupidFilms]

@weaponhand57 you can make one pretty easily

[Beaststa197]

yes put the space marine outside becuase at the showcase comics witch is were i get my warhammer has something like that they have a window in the mall with their latst thing usually was lord of the rings battles from the movies such as helms deep or minas tirith but htey had a space marine on the ouside!

[tomdabomb1004]

about how much would the wood cost?

[stef737]

At 2:47 i was stuned i just sat in my chair unaible to move for one minute, it was the form of a Female that caught my eye and froze my brain, couldt it be that it is true that there are women, girls, females that do miniature war games........sigh i hope that it is true,

[legoguy275]

SOMEONE FARTED AT 2:51 LOOOOOOOOOL

[KaAurus]

so they swiched out a cat for a... dare i say it...? a girl! a nice upgrade, 300 points

[madcapromanian]

Wow! I made mine using a hand saw, 3/4' Plywood and I can actually stand on mine without it colapsing!

[DeadStupidFilms]

Thanks for this guide, I may start this as a project soon because of this vid.

[bspbleach]

I love the sign idea!! A store near us does it, and the Games Worskshop HQ/Bunker did that, and they looked awsome!!

[121surferdude]

i think the space marine with the sign is a good idea

[thewhiteglove1]

@121surferdude

i agree

[skate4work]

that is a genius idea

[mattmattduck]

Oh matt, i just played warhammer 40k game and it was my first game against nids. They are amazingly awesome. Im gonna collect a nid army now.

[mattmattduck]

I will spam you untill you put me in a video. I wont because i dont want our friendship to end. OBEY DAVE!

[mattmattduck]

I was just watching this video because i like your videos :). And i think the space marine idea is awesome. He should be holding a banner that says bring glory to the emperor and play warhammer. Or in your case dave, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!! Oh and can you please put me in your next ask a war gamer? I didnt really ask anything though. Wait i just asked to be in your video.And if you put me in your video ill be your best friend, Oh wait i already am! MUHAHAHAHA (secret relationship, OOH sneaky)

[KrissRhythm]

heres an idea, get all of the local wargames to dress up as like IG SM or CSM and then go into the old steelyard and recreate a battle.

[Aot6]

if i ever get to america the first thing i'd do would be go to mwg club!

if that guy still collects dollars he'd be surprised about ours, the AUS dollar is a coin, like an american quarter

u guys should start in Australia

[lordoftroy]

@Aot6 It's not in American it's in Canadia. Niagra Falls region

[Th3Ch1v3]

That chick looked really kinda pissed

[Infamousblue100]

[Emidretrauqe]

[mastercheif158]

if you need a guy to stand out i'll make a fire warrior suit and stand out there my self

[SADFACEfilms]

hey i would dance around infront of the miniwar gaming club in space marine armor!... but i live in C.T. :(

[Asken96]

[TheFlapAttack]

@bladetrenity1 yep i would go there

[imtoner87]

[jakemorkgork]

@RaageQuit i think that what people call "girls" are like the sisters of battle, but its just my theory..

[MrLecours]

@MrDeadiron Yes, there are such things as girls.....

[babbersabber]

@MrDeadiron oooh myy god a girl! WTF?! Mh maybe it's a stupid question: Can I eat this?

[ChazBoable]

[MeisterReaper]

@MrDeadiron it looks like a female human if it is not an alien with looks of a female human ;D

[mattanstunnas]

[calvinosapfelsinos]

1:35 Well.....i think that wont work very well xD I mean who in heaens name would like to put a Spacemarine Costume on and hold a Freakin Sighn all day long :D
