Lotr Moria Dungeoncrawl 10mm WIP New Pics!

[Oldben1]

Hello,
I wanted to post something small I've been working on.  It is my hope to scale back on all my dungeon terrain, while building a little game that my son and I can play together (he is 6).  I've been lurking on the fantasy board for some time, and when I found the beautiful Coppelstone sculpts I decided it might work well.

I have finished the Moria tiles already.  They are based on my Strange Aeons solo project.  Basically tiny boxes that I/ve filled with bricksheets, sand, and paint.  I want them generic enough to look a little like Moria, but could double as something else later.  Sorry for the lousy pictures!

Each box can be attached to the next box with a series of doors.  Boxes range up to 3 sizes, and most are generic.  Some have some more detail like drains, or chains, or chasms.

There are some painted skeletons for scale.

I'm using the basic Dungeoneer rules with some modifications.  Now to play I have 3 sets of cards.  One for terrain, one for events, and one for room type or passage.  Ideally the cards should be able to generate enough variety to keep my son and I on our toes, or to allow me to game solo.

I'm still waiting for some miniatures as well as more playtesting.  All the terrain comes from Pendraken.  I finally found a good excuse to eat more chocolate at Christmas.  My terrain fits in nicely!

Looks great! Reminds me of the old ICE Moria book, except physical!

Looking forward to seeing more.

Oh, that's a bit good. It all looks well done and organises nicely.

Your balrog must have wings! Wings I tell ya!

have you ever tried the 'simulated water' by woodland scenics? Its re-usable, if you later want to use it again for something else. Resin is clearer, but once you pour it, thats it, its set in place.

that would look great for the room with the bridge.

I once made a gelatinous cube with a skeleton mini inbeded in it, using an old jello mould.

then i did the bone-headed thing of giving it away. 

ohwell, It was fun to make.

Those rooms look great!

The 'Oldben Box Trick' strikes again!
 

Great stuff, mate.
It works just as well in 10mm as it did in 28mm for SA.

Great project, something I wanted to do too. 10mm is such a great scale (thanks to Pendraken & Minifigs )

[dijit]

Really nice stuff there, looking forwards to seeing more.

They look fantastic: very atmospheric and no doubt a sinch to store/transport.

Great idea! I had a similar thought when I made my fighting pit in a box.



I just never got around to making other rooms

Great looking cards. I downloaded an iphone app by Fuedz called Loot for my solo play instead of cards. It's a random loot generator, but you can create your own custom tables. Like I made a random table for room sizes, mobs inside the rooms, and custom loot.

I love your idea with the boxes and I think they work even better than the Pendraken resin dungeon. Here you have a picture from my blog during a game I had with it:

Cheers!

Blacksmith you were one of my main inspirations, I was upset when I missed out on buying your dungeon terrain when you sold it. 

Currently the pendraken dungeon sets are unavailable.  They look great but are a bit fiddily with lining up the doors, and walls and floors.  My version is much cheaper too.  5 dollars for a bunch of brick sheets.  You can't beat that!

Doctor Ocks I'll have to check that App out.  I like the fighting pit as well.  Great doors!

Thank you Oldben1. Actually I sold all my 10mm collection except the armies. I'm honest saying I like your dungeon to Pendraken's. Yours is bigger, easier to assemble, nicer and of course quite cheaper ;-)
