I've always wanted a nice set of dungeon tiles.
Now, Given that i just this week finished a degree in sculpture, I feel i should sculpt some nice 3d tiles.
But alas, I'm a lazy sod! Luckily I came across the TT combat dungeon tile set at work the other day.
I'm not a huge fan of MDF scenery and was sceptical, initially thinking these could be a stop gap or i could add texture to them, But after a couple of nights playing around with them i can honestly say that they don't need it.These tiles are really lovely and fun to paint.
My plan is to use these for my games of Age of Sigmar skirmish/AoS28, SoBaH and a heroquest homebrew campaign i'm writing right now.
Anyway, pictures!
Everything here has been painted with just model mates weathering washes, a bit of agrax earthshade and some grey drybrush, all on top of each other many times, on top of white primer.

In total this is about 4 hours of work.I have bloody loads of these to paint through but I'm having fun so far so hopefully i get a few more done before the inevitable burn out! :)

They look very nice. I like that the grid system is VERY subtle, so you hardly notice it.

I'm looking forward to more of this. Great beginning.

Treated myself to some nice undead stuff to populate the dungeon.
A box of skeletons and a box of spirit hosts.
Also got a darkoath chieftain since every good boy knows the best thing about heroquest is the BARBARIAN!
Managed to get these 5 painted in about 2 hours, a new record for me.I also don't feel that I had to compromise on my messy wash heavy style too much which i was worried would be difficult to do in batch painting.

Nice! Reminds me that I really need to grab some more wedding cake toppers next time I'm at the fabric megastore.

Had you sent me a message two weeks ago you could have had 400 of them posted to you.

Well thanks, but I'm pretty sure I don't need quite that many. :) Took me a year to get through the last bag of a dozen.

Terrific! Were it not for the bases, that upper shot of the charging skeletons would make a pretty good S&S illustration.
Great work on the tiles. Good to see that old early-80s balrog too!
