Ponds

Read on, as I make noob errors. Laugh, as my water effects overflow the pond banks. Recoil in shock from the War Wagon wheel used as a tire swing. Water you waiting for?

Forest Redo

This is an attempt to replace some worn bases for my dense forests. For those who don’t know, forests in Warmachine/Hordes are passable, but slow your models’ movement. The trees aren’t interactive; they merely mark the base as a forest. You could have one, two, or a dozen trees in the forest base, and you just move them out of the way for models.

Trenches

I’m not super sold on the right way to do walls for trenches, or even if they need walls. They look good in some photos, but always get thrown aside during the game. They too often get mistaken for actual walls, and if they’re built too tall, fall down. After a few years of playing with these, they have turned most of them into just plain walls.

A Small Mine

Throwback Terrain from 2016. Here’s another throwback from 2016. It’s a mine I made during a narrative event. The idea is that a these mine openings allow troop movement between other openings. Wooden base & Foam structure The whole things starts with an irregular wooden base, cut and to form. Foam blocks glued up around… Continue reading A Small Mine
