[Terrain] Skirmish Boards

In looking at terrain options for skirmish games, I came up with a solution that I thought was quite effective and efficient - for both sci-fi and fantasy skirmish games.

Using this double-sided Warcry board as a base, and combining it with two seperate sets from Battle Systems, I can have sci-fi and fantasy skirmish games!

[Terrain] Deadzone and Firefight - Part 2

I snapped some photos of my Deadzone terrain, setup for some symmetrical combat encounters!

Firstly, some photos on the 2'x2' grid mat for Deadzone:

And the same terrain pieces on a 4'x4' vinyl mat for 1000-point Firefight games:

[Terrain] Deadzone and Firefight - Part 1

Back in 2014 I received a bunch of terrain as part of the Deadzone v1 Kickstarter.

I initially built the terrain set with MERCS in mind, but now that I'm getting into Deadzone and Firefight, I thought I would repurpose it.

I wanted to build the terrain set as modular pieces, which could be used for both Deadzone and Firefight.

Here's what I came up with, with modular flexibility in mind - for Deadzone, the individual pieces are enough for the 2'x2' grid board, and for Firefight, the pieces can be combined to create 6 buildings (6"x3" each).
