Simple Space Station tiles
« on: 12 July 2025, 09:24:45 AM »
It’s amateur hour here at Horrendous Gaming.  I needed some quick way to represent a particular set of room layouts in a hurry.

Armed with foamboard, cardboard, and a can of Rust-Oleum Gunmetal, I knocked these up.  Pretty happy with the results and made a stack of stuff that can lay out quickly as needed.

Dithering over adding short height walls and no surprise where those doors came from given my history  lol

The markers are also very obviously home made.

They're really good looking tiles and get a quick set up.

My usual Battlesystem walls take a lot of setting up and, tbh, I'm getting a little tired of them.

Funnily enough, I set up for another game of Call Security last night and will be playing it within the hour.

Hi Dean,

Looks like fun. Colour me intrigued.

Interested in possible play-testing etc, email sent.

Good luck and don't set your phasers to "stun!"

Bit the bullet today, had some strange hard foam packing material kicking around, rigged up a jig for my hot wire cutter, and cut it all to a uniform height.  It’s chunky but I need it to stay standing up on its own to be flexible across all 10 table layouts, so it should work.

Quick cut with the hot wire allows for the old Space Hulk doors to insert, and I’ll pull them out when the door is open.  Don’t have much of it, so will probably leave back ends of room open for easy access for now, we’ll see how it looks.

So I think I was right and it needed walls to help define the rooms and probably to make line of sight more obvious, any thoughts?
