Title: Jungle Scenery and Terrain
Post by: Sinewgrab on August 15, 2009, 07:08:53 AM: Alright, I am looking for assistance on building or buying Jungle terrain for my Pygmy army. I have Grimm's page to look at, and some great hints from the WarFactory page. Anywhere else I should be looking?

What I do is take mdf board as a base. These are going to be fairly large pieces, so I actually modelled a little terrain (like bumps and puddles of swamp on it. The main feature, however, are dried sticks from my recent garden clean-up. There are going to be huge knocked-down trees on the terrain with a mixture of bushes (from the local pet shop - you just gotta love the plastic underwater plants) but also clumb foilage and the like to have a weird mixture of natural and artificial materials. i always found those pieces looked more exciting to the eye than plain nature ore plain plastic. Maybe I'll post a picture or two when I have something to show.

Good call! I have a large number of pieces left over from the last time I changed out the foliage in my 86 gallon aquarium...

I bought mdf bases and jungle plants (aquarium bits as others have said really) and prepared some lovely bases for my games. You can buy them ready made too apparently but I preferred to assemble them myself.
