So haven't written anything on here for a while, not because I haven't had anything to say, but because I was just fantastically busy with the Malifaux tournament I ran last week. Still that is now in the books, so I am back and this post I want to talk about making custom gaming tables.
One of the things that I wanted to do with 4M was make a set of tables that wasn't just generic scatter terrain on top of a plain board, and whilst I didn't quite get to the point that I wanted, I did get over halfway there.

| Lair of December Rasputina Board |
However for my next event (Malifools Campaign of Carnage) I want to take the boards to the next level and thought that this blog would be an excellent place to document my progress.
So the first board I will be making originally started out as a dockyard board but quickly mutated into a Malifaux Canals board. So far I have roughed out the areas of land and started cladding the canal sides in embossed plasticard. More as I progress :)

| Rough areas of land marked out in pen. Main canal is 6" wide and offset so centreline is on land. |

| Looks slightly better with the foam laid out to give it some depth. |

| Started to clad the foam in Wills paving |

Good start. Looking forward to seeing how this develops and turns out.
ReplyDeletePossibly a silly question, but is the smaller channels big enough for a 50mm base?
ReplyDeleteLooking good though, really interesting to see how it ends up.
Oh and is it going to be a fixed board or modular? If the former have you thought about diving the board? Perhaps in half?
