Fear The Squirrels

 For Christmas this year I received a pretty decent sized set of various filament printed terrain.  In terms of presents, it was easy for family to acquire (Amazon is easier to navigate) and I didn't have to send them exactly what I was looking for. Unpainted Review The scale is generally 28mm or so.  Some are a little smaller, some a little bigger.  But nothing seems so crazy that I wouldn't put 32mm or 25mm on the table with them.  I sized them up, but forgot to take pictures so will try to grab some at the end, with MESBG LoTR, Age of Sigmar, 40k, Highland Miniatures and Beastarium Minis.  Nothing was so far out of scale that I wouldn't place them together. Almost no cleanup was required, just a few stray filament strands or print lines that didn't quite stick.  Probably the whole set took 10 minutes of cleaning.   Print lines are very noticeable on the rock ruins, but given that they are rocks, it didn't really bother me and I actually li...

So similar to my post about 15mm terrain, what sort of terrain can I use for 6mm gaming.  I'm putting the same general constraints on this terrain as I put on the 15mm side, namely: Usable from Ancients to Sci Fi.  But for right now, emphasis on SciFi. Would be nice to split duty with 15mm gaming No major cash outlays True LOS is out at this scale Still have to game with it.   Travels well So what do we end up with: Hills Hedges Brush Roads Woods ( WIP ) Scrub Brush Buildings Rough Terrain Industrial Areas

Good bye to green felt templates!  I ended up with a scrap piece of 1/4" ply wood from some home remodeling.  And while I had an urge to do some buildings for 15mm, I haven't been playing a lot of 15mm gaming lately.  So, I decided that some woods would work for both 6mm (Dirtside 2 and Strike Legion) as well as 15mm sci fi or 15mm anceints gaming (ADG). I started by: Sketching out some rough circular shapes on the 1/4" ply Cutting them out with a jig saw.  I didn't follow the lines exactly, just tried to keep near them Power sanded down the edges to give them a bit of a gradual slope Glued 3"(For 15mm) or 2" (for 6mm) around the edges, with one or two in the middle for support.  I mostly left them open as these are for gaming, not for display.  I need to fit the figures in there!  This was done with liquid nails.  I put about a pea worth of liquid nails down, pushed the nail in and gave it a bit of a twirl.   Left me with the foll...

I've always gamed at a club or a store where there was a ready supply of terrain, but lately gaming at a friends house we both came to the conclusion that we are woefully unprepared with terrain.  So I've been trying to think of a list of terrain for 15mm gaming that I should start working on. First up, some limitations and constraints Usable from ancients to sci fi - We've been playing Field of Glory and Tomorrow's War, so I'd prefer the terrain to be usable to  Mostly geared to 15mm - See above, I haven't been doing too much 28mm gaming lately and I don't see it changing No major cash expenditures - Kitchen remodel sapped my wallet.  So, no fancy pre made terrain.  I'm not at zero for expenditure, but the more I can save the better. Doesn't have to be true LOS - At 15mm most terrain is abstract, so don't have to worry about providing terrain that works with true LOS rule sets Terrain would generally fit in a eastern european battle fie...
