The London War Room (Parroom Station) martians could work as natives (Atlanteans) without much conversion.

I suggested earlier that, if you want, I'll happly make the board? I had some ideas. Most of these were draw straight after the last BLAM.




The boat is meant to be a sunken steamer with the dead captain hunched over the wheel. Of course you'd also have cliffs, kelp fields and reefs.
I also thought about a floating mine field and my brother Colin suggested an abyssal
canyon.

As for the Nautilus i have been thinking about that for a while...




The mini sub in the drawings is supposed to be the sub i built.


I think ,though, it might be too big to build!


Stop it right now! I've got enough on my ideas plate with out you adding to it  lol

I like the Nautilus very much  :-*

I reckon I'll do a normal type sub but with lighting and a plush interior for my Japanese.

cheers

Wonderful stuff there, Andy!

I suggested earlier that, if you want, I'll happly make the board? I had some ideas. Most of these were drawn straight after the last BLAM.

I would indeed suggest that you guys do the boards (since you got a car to transport them, IIRC), and we can do some collaborative effort for the "terrain features". As said, I am not sure if I can actually make it to BLAM this year, but we could still do the project and I would send you my terrain pieces by mail if I really cannot make it. So I would focus on the rules for now, and start some small, light terrain pieces in the new year.

If you could do a rough sketch of the board layout, maybe 6x4, with one terrain feature in every square foot, and maybe a big underwater city (Atlantis?) on one of the short sides. It could be nested in an underwater mountain ridge, "forcing" the players to move across the length of the table.

Or we could designate a section of the table as "above water" (as in an air-filled cave, like the Disney Atlantis from that not-too-bad, but not-too-great film), with a submarine pen. The remainder could be "underwater" terrain.

I'm definately tempted to build a vessel or two, depending on available time.
(Yes I know its 10 months away, but I thought that about BLAM 2010 last year  ::))

Or these sea elves from Reaper:





Or monsters









Man I'm getting excited by this project! And I won't even be there! :)

This looks like it could be a great project - good luck.

I have the were Shark from Reaper, it's a fantastic model - and don't forget the cheap fish and sea themed toys that you can get in ToysRUs.

Surely any troop type is allowed?

I had a wee think about the board and I thought I'd put this forward...

 

I hope you can make this out. It shows all the main elements I've thought of. Obviously we'd have small rocks covered in coral and other small stuff to populate it.

What do you think?

I think it looks perfect.

 6ftx4ft or 10ftx6ft?
