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.
