Solo Tabletop

It's intended as Rohan terrain for Lord of the Rings, but it also works for pretty much any generic medieval setting.

Let's look at the terrain pieces that originally got me into Warcry First Edition

An eye-catching centerpiece perfect for any science fiction table.

The next scenario for my Five Parsecs from Home Campaign takes place in an industrial zone, so I took the opportunity to paint some more terrain.

Another one of my older projects, and this one is especially important to share because there were a few points where it looked like a failure. In the end, it taught me a lot of valuable lessons and still left me with usable terrain pieces. Am I'm proud of them? No, not really. Can I use them for my games? Yes, of course.

This is a project I did over two years ago, but I recently stumbled upon the images and thought it would be a good project to share as it is easy to replicate. At the time, I was playing through the early Rangers of the Shadow Deep  core book campaign and I wanted a medium terrain piece with height difference and a bit of line of sight blocking. This all happened before I decided to create this blog, so I sadly took no pictures from the scenarios itself and only mediocre ones of the hill building process. Looking through my available materials, I decided upon a simple hill with a cliff. Cork bark for the cliff, expanded polystyrene (eps) as the basic structure, and thick cardstock as the base. I cut the eps in the rough shape of a hill and hotglued everything on to the base. I then covered everything but the cork bark with filler and tried to hide the rough angles and transitions.
