How to Start Planning Your Warhammer Table
If you are customizing your table for the Warhammer tabletop game, you need to plan it the right way. We’re living in an era where board gamers are 3D-printing their accessories. But we won’t go that far. We believe here’s how you can plan your gaming table:
- Pick the Table Size Carefully: We said earlier that your D&D nights will become more fun with a 3x5 Kingswood table. A 4x6 table is ideal for your Warhammer campaigns.
- Sketch the Table Out on Paper: You should grab a piece of paper and draw a map on it (top-down view). Run rails around every edge and pop cups at the corners for easy grabs. Put decks in the middle. Tuck nifty benches underneath for storage purposes.
- Budget Your Table Smartly: Don’t forget to create a budget for your customization efforts. Tables start at $1,149. Packs start from just $39. That’s how you can start to work on your Warhammer gaming table.
5 Steps to Build a Custom Warhammer Table
Assemble a Base Table
It all begins with a standard Warhammer table size. You need to:
- Unpack BoxKing’s Kingswood kit
- Lay out all our premium wood panels, steel frame parts, & hardware components
- Follow our manual to bolt the legs first for better stability
- Attach the tabletop surface with the keys given to you
- Make sure you have a rock-solid level that doesn’t ruin terrain placement
This will take you 1 to 2 hours, so you get a timeless design, ready for felt toppers.
Install BoxKing Rails
You now have to align our modular rail segments along the four edges of the table. Secure them with screws or magnetic clips. You’re making these high-strength steel specs vibration-proof.
We suggest spacing them 1 ton 2 inches from the edge of the table. That’s how you can aim for flush accessory docking. You may lubricate these tracks lightly with silicone spray to achieve a sort of buttery-smooth slide. Your table is now customized for Warhammer’s mini adjustments.
Add Warhammer-Specific Packs
If you are making a Warhammer game table, you should attach cup holder packs at key spots for easy painting and brushing. Add deck holders nearby for your cards & rosters. Don’t forget to top everything with a durable Ironside 2.0 for heavy models. You may lock everything securely on rails by drilling holes.
Customize Your DnD Gaming Surface
If you want a tabletop gaming surface for Dungeons and Dragons, you should hang the playmat vault from the top rails. Your fellow gamers can store rolled maps without cluttering the table. Tuck the accessory storage bench underneath. Don’t forget to add LED Kingswood lights (costing you less than $1,700_ with underglow for better ambiance.
Test Your Custom Warhammer Table
Test your gaming table setup by running a full pretend game with minis for 10 rounds; tweak things like cup holders or add grippy liners if stuff slips. Your custom table is now ready!
Integrating BoxKing Accessories
As the Day of Ascension was released this October, Warhammer fans are rushing to see who can complete a custom table first. You can use these accessories to create a Dnd table, too.
- BoxKing’s rail systems have a hybrid use. Our cup holders minimize the clutter on your table.
- Our DECK Holders streamline order phases in Warhammer. Playmat vaults protect your oversized terrain mats for Dungeons & Dragons.
- You can use the BoxKing’s storage bench to hide your bulk items and enable quick & easy swaps from dining to playtime.
That’s how BoxKing accessories let you create an awesome custom DnD table.
Tips to Optimize the Table-Building Process
The 30th anniversary of Warhammer Quest this August encouraged many tabletop fans to start working on custom-built gaming surfaces. We’ve used their experiences (shared on Reddit) to come up with these tips for you:
- You can turn a standard coffee table into a mini battleground by layering neoprene felt toppers under the rail on your $749 Wooden Coffee Gaming Table.
- You may also team up with the GamePillar Adjustable Tower right next to your setup for stacking rulebooks & boxes. That’s why you can free up that precious table space and create an epic DnD table.
- Wipe these rails every month by using a microfiber cloth and mild soap. You can keep ‘em sliding smooth with this simple trick.
- You should also bundle 4 to 5 packs to hit $599 for free US shipping. Order an affordable & foldable DnD table and then start customizing it.
