Turiya64 builds a new table!

[turiya64]

after seeing the new[URL="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/REALM-OF-BATTLE-ZONE-MORTALIS-SET.html"] ” REALM OF BATTLE ZONE MORTALIS SET"[/URL] i just knew this was the excuse i needed to build a new place to do battle so i made some best guesses and jumped in.



I started with about 12 12/12 plates and then cut a large number of 3in wide strips all out of 1/8in plywood. then cut a bunch of 1 3/4in square blocks to space out the walls. The thought being if they all have 2in thick walls spaced 2in away from the side of the 12/12 then they could all match up properly and form mostly 4 in wide walk ways so large critters like a carnefex could walk around and get where they need to go. I am sure in some configurations there will end up being 2in wide spaces but I am ok with that.



i started with some simpler shapes but in the next day or 2 i will build the rest then it is on to makeing them not look like they are made of wood

A perfect use for off cuts and "reject" sheets that you get for half price!

[turiya64]

honestly the stuff is so cheap it's not even worth worrying about finding cutoffs. I think I paid 10$ for an 8'/10' sheet. but in this case these were made from cutoffs from the last 2 projects I had done. a bar for my wife and a new headboard for our bed complete with built in lighting and book shelves I have allot of hobbies....

I'll be keeping an eye on this!

just a little update i got 4 more plates built up these are a little more complex shape wise then the last ones but still not to bad after you get started

I've got the plans for doing this as well. I like what you did. I think i am going to make the walls out of 2x4's. That is the only thing i would change. For texture i wanted to plaster the 2x4's make a imprint or something on it to add dimension. I was also going to buy sticky tiles for the bases. Great idea and looks very promising. Oh yea thanks for the idea of a 5th plate.

Huh. Interesting. Have they introduced any rules to go with the new set or is it just plain old terrain?

[Franek_Dolas]

Those tiles are looking pretty awesome! And a helluva lot cheaper than the FW ones!
