Title: Mini Terrain board project
Post by: Corso on 13 December 2023, 10:43:40 AM
Since I skirmish in micro scale,converting games like a song of drums and shakos to cm, I don't need a massive gaming area. So I thought I could see how compact I could make it. My first idea was to use a magnetised notice board and add some sheet flock. It worked well enough but I wanted to encorporate some organisation. So I'mStarting with a large 34cm square 2 draw desk organiser

Next step was to cover the top in flock, decided to go with a cheap paper backed railway bord flock while it fixed well, it's a bit too snooker table green

The best bit is the storage, plenty of room for micro terrain, miniatures etc.

Since the draws are a little over 12" Square there is even room for 4 terrain boards if I was to expand the game to a 2x2

Thanks, I'm planning to use it mainly for songs of drums and shakos using 6mm Adlers

but I'm thinking a song of Arthur and Merlin using Late Roman Pendraken should work too

Just need a few more it's of terrain, river bridge and some sort of village

I'm wondering if I could get away with using some mediteranian style builds for both...

The trick will be finding stuff that fits in with both games

A river and Bridge should be easy, hedges and fields too, although the first one I made's a bit small for 10mm.

I'd like a small hamlet a chapel and a ruin but whether all that will fit in will be anyone's guess, depends on how many more figures I want to cram in :D
