EUK could certainly use some new terrain, plans are afoot....

Luxury! When I were young, we'd use yellow pages as hills an' pieces o'torn paper with "woods" scrawled on. Roads... we didn't have roads back in those days.

Try tell that to young'uns these days and they don't believe you.

Haha! I remember using alot of Lego pieces playing WH40K back in the day!

Lets just say the terrain will be of a slightly different class at the Exeter Entrnchment...

The terrain was mainly purchased 4 years ago and is functional so we can transport 10 tables worth round the country. That said we've now accumulated enough funds, while keeping tournament prices to a minimum, to invest in a lot of terrain this summer.

Regarding the forests, firstly trees are really expensive, secondly it is a difficult balance between playability and appearance. Our forests don't look great currently, and will be upgraded, but they serve their purpose. I've seen and played on lovely terrain that was really unsuitable to actually game on.

Have you seen the forests with removeable lids? I think they look really great and also are very good to play on.

So you transport enough terrain to cover 10 tables (would that be a minimum of 120 pieces??!) around the country??! Wow, that is actually very impressive. I have personally terrain to cover 2 tables and that takes up a shitload of pace at home!

150 trees, 5 cm tall for just £16.

50 trees, 48mm high for just £8.

Trees are really not that expensive.

True, but then they need basing, and transporting to and from events, which is why the current trees are a bit worse for wear.

I also think you need to balance looks v playability. If you can't actually put the models where they need to be in terrain it's pretty useless at a tournament. Fine for home play but when you are timed pressured you don't want to spend ages either making space in terrain or trying to balance models so they won't fall over.

I bought trees like that, bedded them down onto pennies with green stuff, then added sand to the pennies. Pretty robust.

PS: If EUK wanted to do a big order of plastic buildings, we could offer a discount.

I did much the same but with plastic aquarium plants, they'll survive pretty well any kind of transport. Table for context:




Cheap palms actually bought for 28mm and 15mm gaming but they're not that out of scale for 6mm:



A fuzzy crop of the aquarium plants from the background of the last photo:



The pennies still need sand adding.

I did the tree-on-currency thing, it works really well. But I wouldn't be too keen on doing 150 Well, unless I was charging for labour of course!
