I backed the kickstarter for the Sally 4th Normandy photo-realistic terrain. Check out their line! No painting required, instead you glue on thick card cover sheets. You dont see too many of the paper cut out lines because there is trim that usually covers it. The scale on the terrace houses is fantastic and it makes for a really impressive piece (especially for those who dont want to paint). There are even plastic inserts for the windows making them look glass instead of just missing. Im using this for Bolt Action.

I must admit that the buildings i made weren't bad, but the "Stoic Arms-inn" of 4Ground and others are AWESOME! I definitely agree that MDF is a great time-saver and really nice to look at... Besides; ALL of 4Grounds' buildings have been made to play inside with 28mm figures, which makes it all more attractive to gamers... The only "down-side" to 4Ground is that their assembly-plans aren't always very clear and you must look very carefully how to glue what where...

On the other hand, there is the W40k where it's pretty hard to make gothic ruins of an Imperial city, for example. So a purchased terrain would look more authentic and atmospheric.

A tip I recently learned for priming MDF after building a few large MDF boxes is mix up some wood glue like titebond III/II and water 1:1 and paint that onto the MDF. The MDF will suck in the glue and seal it and then paint like you would normally. Never done it with MDF terrain but it works like a charm to save you from the layers of paint or primer. Only draw back I can see with the terrain is if it has cut details into the surface you may accidentally gap fill but worth an experiment and would have been my go to if I ever picked up one of these kits due to my other experiences with the material.

I can very much recommend warsenal terrain. They seem to be in the top tier when it comes to MDF terrain and they are one of the very few who are capable of making organic shaped buildings. My personal favourite though is still Zen Terrain. They make incredible terrain and while it's less organic than warsenal, it's half the price for almost same good quality but best of all, when you use it for games like infinity, the terrain from Zen Terrain actually allows for customisation and provide very good cover.

Plain old Elmer's School Glue works best on MDF provided you have sanded any surfaces that contact. Lasering MDF leaves scorch and soot marks, which are loose material. We (Warped Mind Games) always recommend sanding your MDF and wiping your edges, then apply Elmer's school glue. Elmer's School Glue sets in about 10 minutes and is almost completely dry within 2 hours, and if you put too much glue down, Elmer's is water soluble while it is wet and is easy to remove excess.

You can also use a lacquer sealer to "prime" raw MDF. The lacquer also sits on top of the MDF instead of soaking in. I don't have MDF terrain on my Etsy Store yet, but I do have some MDF items that require glue and prep and sealing. Also, it is recommended to prime both sides of MDF so that when it dries, you don't get warpage. Lastly, if you do not use the correct primer or sealer, you can potentially ruin your MDF. The MDF will absorb the paint and may begin to swell and breakdown. You can check out Warped Mind Games on Etsy, FB, and Twitter.

+Trystan Alexander The nails really just hold the parts together while the glue dries. If the glue can penetrate a porous material(if you're using it properly, it should), that glued area will be much stronger than the material it's gluing together.

I used a satin varnish to remove the porous quality of MDF. It allowed the primer to take much better and subsequent layers of paint

I have several of the 4ground mdf pre-painted fabled realms line and they are second to none!. Lasers ( do finger to lip Dr. Evil style here ) are the way to go!

+bret merritt No, actually they're from my hometown here in Wisconsin. I think there are two bands with the same name. These guys put out an EP called "Devilled" that's really good. It's on Bandcamp and iTunes and such. Thanks for watching!

Couldn't you glaze it then prime it? Put a plastic film over it to stop the soaking

Or you could use mdf sealer, then prime.

Common in the UK. we do more with MDF over here as we don't have the huge natural resources you guys have (a lot of wood is imported). Quick look on amazon (US) shows it under 'Home Improvement' (search Rustins quick dry for an example). I bet one tin will last a lifetime, although 500ml in US is $60, but in amazon.co.uk it is £8.53 ($11). I guess this is imported then, but you may call it something different over there that makes better sense on an internet search....

All you have to do is seal the mdf and quick sand then any primer you want works.

Terrain is so easy to make that i just cant see paying for it. I guess if you are the guy who pays someone else to paint his minis, you might as well have someone build your terrain.

Have you considered priming with a PVA glue or PVA glue/acrylic paint mixture? PVA is often used in the building industry to coat absorbent surfaces like old dry plaster and plaster board. Mixing - say - acrylic black or white with the glue would give you a coloured primer which is non-grey. The PVA would also have a secondary effect of gluing the structure together. I have only assembled two small laser-cut MDF buildings so far. Both were pre coloured and I used PVA and elastic bands to assemble them. The material seemed to react well to the PVA and there was no staining of the pre-coloured exteriors.

I have a pre-colored building from 4Grounds, but I haven't built it yet (just got it last month during Adepticon). I actually plan on painting it, though, as I don't like the standard color scheme. Thanks for watching!

Yes mine are 4Ground, 15mm scale. Yes the colours are a little standard and generic but - for speed of construction - I find them fine. Mine had 'thatched' roofs made from felt. I was dubious but the roofs worked well. Good luck with yours.
