He Folks,
After receiving my copy of Perilous Island and doing a quick read thru, Jet and I are quite exited to do the campaign. But before we do we would like to have the terrain ready for each scenario. After some discussions I decided to build a new gaming board and focus on a Egyptian Desert theme.
I only had a quick few minute to peruse the web and came across a few sites, armorcast, scobor miniatures, etc. I figured I would go to the heart of the pulp gaming community and see if anyone had any recommended sites I should check out.
Cheers,
Tenz

Armorcast makes some quality Egyptian terrain pieces. Check out armorcast.com
-
Scotiagrendel does great resin egyptian terrain. otherwise hirst arts molds if you want to caast your own.
-
I second Anpu: Scotia Grendel has a good catalogue that could provide several Egyptian sets. On the other hand, if you want an more extensive oportunity to build gaming tables, Hirst Arts has excellent molds
-
And try finding online stores that sell aquarium decor; look here:

to see some stunning pieces I bought a couple of years ago.
Fenris Games also does some useful stuff.

do not pass up looking at your local pet store, i have found some really great aquarium terrain such as sphynx and obelisks that really dont need much work done on them, and are usually under $20.

I second this, I have gotten all sorts of good pulp terrain from pet stores and don't forget the aquarium section of Walmart;
I got these there for $11-8 each. They are waiting for my pulp game to shift continents before getting a quick repaint.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the quick replies. I never thought about Aquarium decor. I'll have to investigate further. I did come across some nice items on Armorcast, but I am still looking. Keep the recommendations coming :-)
Cheers,

Go to EBay. Type in Egypt. All categories. Then Used. (Second hand) Then select your country only (That way you save on postage costs)
After try 'Egyptian', and do it all again. ;)

Aquarium terrain rocks! It's ready to play right "out of the box".
-
Egypt and Ancient Greece are THE two themes where the aquarium stuff excells.
My favourite is the range by Europet Bernina (28mm figure for reference):

They are brilliant White Knight, espevially that first one.

I've got a butt load of little resin statuettes, about 6" high, that I bought years back with pie-in-the-sky notions of making my millions. Take them off my hands, please!

Lots of great suggestions.
I think Armorcast, Hirst Molds, and Scotia Grendel covers most of our stuff as well. And the aquarium pieces have been on the wish-list for quite some time.
