As I began to make my most recent gaming board, I dug out my copies of 'How To Make Wargames Terrain', Both the First (1996).and Second (2003) versions. I have always received good terrain advice at online forums (Dakka, TMP, Terragenesis), and there are some sites like Necromundicon that have really improved my terrain building and are a constant source or inspiration, but when in the workspace trying to figure out a given effect or digging through your boxes of Terrain bits/supplies, I've yet to find anything quite as useful as these two books.
The blue book is really a bible for making terrain. Ultrasonic transducer circuit. Though it's 9 years old now, it still seems completely up to date.
The red book seems somewhat primitive by today's standards, but it's not only nostalgia that keeps me going back. It still contains many techniques and models that look great today and even has more detailed descriptions of certain techniques than the blue. Neither book is written for the super advanced modeler who engages in the types of techniques covered by books on model railroading and military dioramas, but for making terrain as good as what you see at a GW bunker the blue book has you covered. Except that it's out of print. Which leads me to the second half of my title. Will we ever see a book like this again? There have been several non GW books to feature sections on wargaming terrain, but nothing as extensive as what is in the GW books or as directly aimed at straitforward serviceable terrain rather than diorama quality masterworks.
Also the few other books on Wargaming terrain are also either out of print or PDF only. Unfortunately I think the answer is no. The 2003 Version just predates the proliferation/expansion of GW's own plastic terrain kits. Except for GW tools, paints and miniatures there are very few GW products in the book and there is lots of advice on the book regarding purchasable 'at your local model shop' supplies that GW has never produced.
Looking through the book I realized just how many of the creative projects in these books are now covered by GW plastic kits. Styrofoam ruins and urban cityscapes are now covered by 'Cities of death' buildings. Steeped hills and trees are sold as kits (though to be fair they have been in the past also in a limited selection.). Fantasy architecture is covered by tower, manor, graveyard, and other kits. It looks like GW has no need to make another book on terrain making because now they make it all for you. I'm not really griping about the proliferation of plastic kits.
