I don't get to play very often but as I have the day off from work on Monday my mate is coming over for a game. I am going to try and sort some rules out for a War of the Roses game, adapting Too Fat Lardies 'Sharp Practice'.
I have just set the table up ready for Monday using some of the terrain I recently made. There is probably a little too much clutter for a game but I just fancied getting some of the new stuff on the table.
There are a couple of commercial buildings on the table and the stream section and the hill with the road running through it are from 'Last Valley' which I have re-painted and flocked to match my terrain.
Don't look to close at the figures as they were painted a while ago using Army Painter and there was a lot of experimenting with different colours for this method.
Wow!
ReplyDeleteThis board is just awesome. Really a great piece of wargaming.
Thanks for sharing these nice pictures.
Cheers

That is a fantastic set up, it looks great before the troops have even arrived!

ReplyDeletePat, what a fantastic terrain layout! It looks perfect - very realistic. Almost seems a shame for the peasants' happy lives to be shattered by grim visag'd warre......well, almost! Have fun with the game and be sure to post some pictures!

Thanks Chaps.
ReplyDeleteMichael, when I finally get around to WW1 it will only be a poor copy of what Sidney Roundwood has done. If you haven't visited his site yet, I strongly recommend you do, its fantastic.
Absolutely stunning terrain, Pat!

ReplyDeleteChristopher
Just stunning Pat, I feel like I've been transported back in time! I continued to be very, very envious.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant terrain and photos Pat!
ReplyDeletehi
ReplyDeletejust wondering what you use as a base?MDF,PLYBOARD OR ARTISTS mounting card?howdo you stop it from warping once finished?
cheers
john
of course i should have said lovely lovely terrain.
ReplyDeleteLovely terrain.
ReplyDeleteStop it..... I can't compete with your awesomeness mr smith
ReplyDeleteThanks again Chaps.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I used hardboard for the bases but the two larger pieces did warp a bit. I scored the underneath and then weighed them down flat whilst they were drying and also painted the underneath to draw them back the other way but they still warped slightly. The thing is not to make the bases to big, and I am sure there are better basing materials than hardboard out there, I use it because it is cheap and easy to cut.
That is a really wonderful table! Hope the game was as much fun!
ReplyDeleteFantastic work!
ReplyDeleteThanks some fantastic looking WOR terrain! Can you make it to Nashville to help run a WOR game in the Spring? lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Chaps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer Cory, would love to come, all expenses paid travelling first class with the family of course.
Cheers,
Pat.
ps. Look forward to seeing some pictures of the Nashville game.
Excellent work and photos as usual Pat , well done
ReplyDeletewow that is just amazing! how do you do your trees? can you do a tutorial on how you do your terrain please?
ReplyDeleteHi Michael,
DeleteThe trees are made by 'Last Valley' and they have a trade stand at most wargaming shows in the UK.
I think most of the tutorials for the terrain are on my blog if you scroll back.
I will be building a new table and re doing all my terrain soon, so I will be doing more tutorials then.
Cheers,
Pat.
