Just posted sixth video about building Blackstone Heath.
This takes the table from 4' x 4' to 4' x 5' expanding the terrain with two additional village and two forest tiles.

Man, I love this so much. I would love to do something similar, but I just have too many different ideas floating around... At least I finally said goodbye to my plans for a Mordheim table.

I think they key to me getting this done is starting small, building something that could be played on and then adding to it. Although I have drawn a map right at the start for the whole 5' x 12' table, I started by building a 2' square tile and played some games on it before adding tiles to expand it to a 3' square gaming area.

Yeah that is how I approached my dungeon and cavern builds too. It's just that with limited space and even less time to actually get stuff done, what I would like to do and actually can do are a world apart.

One thing I am certain of is I want to get a Necromunda table done, and add to my dungeon. Besides that, it has to be either a pure Frostgrave table or something more generic, but then it's a toss up between village and city... So many choices... So little time and space.

Cool project. I really like the look of this whole table together. Not hugely into videos when it comes to miniature things, but the explanations help. Good stuff.

Just posted the seventh Blackstone Heath video.
This expands the terrain from 5' x 4' to 5' x 5' by adding a 5' x 1' stream section with a watermill, rocky crag and a couple of bridges.

I am just working on editing the next Blackstone Heath video at the moment.



The two things that we have added is some Hobbit Holes and some village folk.



I've added a write up to my Blackstone Heath Hobby Blog with loads more photos of both.



... and will be adding the links to the video as soon as it is ready!

This You Tube video covers adding a couple of Hobbit Holes into the hillside and new fantasy / medieval village folk.
