Been in a cupboard for years, re-furbished and re-based:

Yup, moving onto hex terrain  ;)

Like 'em!  The Grim Reaper banner is a definite eye catcher.  :-bd

By the way, are you just using the hexon tiles? Or are youchanging rules to be hex based?

Yes, it's all change.  Movement and shooting ranges no longer measured but gauged in hexes.  After extensive research and time on the Hadron Collider, I've got my equivalents for DBA 3.0, HOTT, DBR and One Hour Wargames.  Basically anything that comes out less than a hex (in this case 4") is rounded up or down as appropriate.  Play testing is TBA.

Good luck then! I recently acquired the master tile sets for d&d. Going to try getting my fantasy gaming on squares. Should allow me to play on a smaller surface!

Enjoy.  I'm only in this for fun, so all that faffing about with rulers, tables, etc., I find a real turn-off.  Ditching dice in favour of picking dominoes as well, received wisdom is that the doms produce a true random number, don't interfere with what's on the table either.  All this plus Pendraken's tiny dice and frames built into figure bases to track casualties.  Hopefully it won't all end in tears.  Only time will tell  ;D
