Continuing working on the terrain tile project, and today I have an update. I found a pack of 8 sheets of 2'x6' hardboard (which works out as 24 2' squares) for £52 to good starting point!
I have also designed the basic designs for 24 tiles as a combination of plain, streams, hills etc
 |
| Stream/River Tiles |
I didn't want to make any waterways too wide so that they can be used for multiple scales. A such these are 1" wide.
 |
| Hills |
These are for significant hills, obviously smaller hills can be added across any of the other tiles.
 |
| Coast tiles |
Can be used as a three like this and have a wide front or use 2 and go deeper (on a 6 tile table).
 |
| Trench Tiles |
These won't be as extensive as my previous trench tiles as they need to drop down to the same level.
 |
| All the tiles! |
At the same time i've been rethinking how to make the tiles. Rather than base then polystyrene, I'm thinking of using a base sheet, topped by 1" blocks at corners (stepped back by the depth if the sheets) and another sheet on top (as well as strips round edge to fill gaps).
 |
| Just add the top |
For areas with depressions (streams, trenches), I would do the same but the top would be made of two board strips at either side and the gap would be made of polystyrene.
 |
| Stream design |
Probably a delay on this going ahead as DW is getting married tomorrow! WOOT!!!
On another note I have got some mdf laser cut buildings for Frostgrave - so pics soon and I will hopefully get some more games in.
