Playing with hills

 

Spent some time today playing with hills and how I want the hex terrain to work with flowing hills rather than occasional lumps on the battlefield.   I have been cutting extra tiles to provide unpainted supports beneath the flocked surface.






I recently added some stream tiles to go on the surface.

I am quite pleased with the way it is looking.




I have enough basic hex terrain cut to cover an 8'x 5'table which was my eventual aim. I need to cut a load more "support" tiles to build the hills up and more edge supports so that the hills can start right on the table edges.  But it is coming together...

    1. Yes, I think 8' x 5' is the largest I will go with this. I do have cloths that will cover a 12'x 5' table but I have never used them

  3. Mike, those look great. I have thought about them in the past but I'm sort of happy with my old 2 by 2 flock covered boards with drop on scenery. Nowhere near as flexible or subtle as these though.
