Scenery
« on: July 25, 2003, 07:38:13 PM »
So i am curious. What do people use for scenery?

Last time i played, i used an old and paint stained battle mat (sand) with some books under it for hills. Then i put down unpainted craters, the resin forgeworld ones, then i put down a half dozen ornaments - 2 3" red stone lions i got in HK, 2 1 1/2" skulls i aquired at some point, a big HK dragon, and a wierd gargoyle thing.

I'm sounding like a well travelled goth here... i'm not, incidentially. Goths make me sick, the whining bastards.

That yielded a wierd sand dunes with battle damage with slightly gothic oriental overtones. And then we fought Tau versus Iron Warriors... it had a interesting atmosphere.

Time to renew an old thread....

Im using a combination of paper models from WOTC, Seaworks, Microtacix and Germs World, with a few resin pieces from Petsmart and a cottage from the miniature building authority. I use a combination of cork and styrofoam for hills and river banks. Rivers and oceans are made with blue cellophane.

Paper is cheaper but resin is much more durable...

Wow, old thread.

Well now I play at the local gaming club. We have the usual 6' by 4' boards to play over, and we have absolutely loads of terrain - 2 cupboards full, including a LOT of mordheim terrain. We'll have to actually play it sometime. We have just about everything we need really - dwarf gates, trees, hills, swamps, buildings etc. It's pretty good. :)

I think my copy of Mordheim is lent out right now. I still consider that to be GW's strongest game, in terms of design and fun.
