Terrain Clear Out

 I have amassed way too much wargames terrain and I've decided to cull my collection.

These are all items that due to size and weight and/or fragility, I would prefer not to have to send by courier/post. So at the moment I am offering these on a collection only basis, from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire.

A 28mm figure is shown for scale in some of the photos.

Starting off with an antique piece (or at least "Vintage"), an old 28mm castle from the 1980s/90s. It is made of lightweight foam resin and I am pretty certain this came from the late, great Ian Weekley's company Battlements. £60

28mm Dark Age Fort from the Grand Manner, made from resin. I bought this in the early 2000s, there is a little bit of wear and tear, a couple of post have broken off, but nothing major. It now seems to be out of production, it's not showing on the GM website (but looking at the prices there I dread to think what it would cost if it was!!). £100

A sunken road terrain feature, a bespoke piece from the Last Valley, suitable for 20mm-28mm. I have used it mainly for 28mm games. Again, about 20 years old, give or take, a little wear and tear but not really noticeable. SOLD

Another bespoke item from the Last Valley, a stream again suitable for 20mm-28mm. 2 x 2 feet long sections. £15

10mm WW2 girder bridge with access ramps, total length 25 1/2 inches. Two of the road sections can be removed to shorten the bridge. SOLD

 

Thanks for looking and please get in touch if you are interested.

New Gaming Mat

 I was browsing the internet the other day (as you do) when I came across an artificial moss mat/roll. It looked interesting and the supplier sold them in various sizes, including 1 metre squares, idea size for skirmish gaming! It wasn't too expensive, so I decided to give one a go and it turned up in todays post.

It is on some foam-like backing, quite thick (1 cm or so) but it looks like it will roll up nicely. The green is a little bright, but not unbearable, and as I envisioned this for a water-logged moor type environment, that's fine.

Minis work fine on it, human sized plastic minis on plastic bases are a little unstable in places, but bigger minis and metal minis (or plastic on metal bases) all stand up OK.

Here are some shots of various minis trying the new surface out!

I don't think this will be replacing my fabric gaming mats, but I can see it getting some use for historical and fantasy gaming. Hobbits scurrying around the Barrow Downs or Gothic Horror, hunting the creature over the moors!!!

Terrain for Fantasy and Post Apocalyptic

 I have just taken delivery of a batch of new terrain items from Wargames Terrain Workshop link

Dave's a good guy to buy from, great communication and very prompt service, given it was being painted to order. His resin scenery is nice and sold at a very good price. He sells it unpainted, but I thought his painted prices were reasonable so, as painting time has been curtailed of late, I decided to get my terrain ready-painted.

I'd gone to the website to pick up some bits for my Post Apocalyptic games, but who doesn't browse a website first, and I found some really nice fantasy bits for dungeon/urban/Frostgrave settings.

It all arrived well packed and damage-free, which is always nice.

First a ceremonial/magical/sacrificial pool.

And three creepy mirrors. I love the spooky "reflections" Dave has put in the glass, very effective.

As an example of cost, the set of mirrors is just £4 unpainted. The painted set cost me £8.50.

Now on to the Post Apocalyptic stuff I went for in the first place.

I'd previously bought the toxic pools, but I don't think I've posted a proper picture of them.

Two sets of barrels, complete and squashed, with a couple of 28mm minis for scale.

And a squashed car!

Loads of use for all this in my Mutants and Death Ray Guns games.

I am running a Sellswords and Spellslingers dungeon crawl next weekend, so I already have some ideas for the mirrors!

Tenfold Dungeon - The Facility Sci-Fi

 Although I have had this set longer than my fantasy sets, and I have used it for photographs, I had not actually posted a review of the full set yet!!! Very remiss of me.

So here it is...

So what do you get in the set?

2 large rooms, 4 medium rooms, 3 small rooms and 3 corridors, various dividing walls, stairs and clips, plus 13 double-sided doors.

I picked up a couple of sets of card terrain for Core Space to equip the base with panels, consoles and assorted scatter. Here are images of the various rooms.

Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert!!!

This is going to get a lot of use for Sci-fi and Post Apocalypse, maybe even some VSF with a change of scatter.
