  1. Last night I began laying out hill templates, based on hills on the base boards from ‘A Game of Armoured Combat ‘ and found:
  2. There are some only shaped hills

The hexes bases are smaller than hexes on maps!

Point one is got round by stating other than depth and sublevels ignore map height levels if 2.5 terrain is used.

Point 2 , this was a sample attempt at terrain and as long as don’t make hills too big won’t make much of a problem,  Warbase do custom sizes so it can be adjusted with later purchases.

So with some idea of what I’m doing( as a concept I’m not sure it will ever catch on) I stuck using Wilko’s Pva Glue Sealant, the hexes on top of the Amazon Mdf .

This I hope will help in providing guides to help in cutting out the hills.

Having let the glue dry I then cut out my 1st hill.

I actually stuck the the level 2 bit on for this hill and may do with other hills that have odd hexes of higher levels on.

I’m still pondering whether to put any texture on the hills or just spray them Zandri Dust. Texture would be nice but may look odd if extra layers are added.

SO WHAT DOES THE TEAM THINK?

If the hexes are smaller than the ones on the map… will it not look weird?
