That looks great, you should pm Uncle Mike to see if  he fancied hosting those cards on the SA site!

I did, and he said thank you for making these

Perhaps he will put em up on the website, perhaps not, who knows... I have my cards

I just finished the cemetery, tomorrow I will make photos

Fantastic job! The whole thing together looks wonderful!!! Never seen paper done better!

This is pretty cool, and a great way to get every thing you need for a game fast

Here's my little cemetery



The set is of course Wildwood Grove, an older set from WWG still available in their "Vault" line of classic products and highly recommended for Strange Aeons paper scenery!

The small crypt is made in the TLX style with custom textures from Blood.

The larger one looks actually more like a chapel from it's size and is part of the set. It is collapsible too.



I use the graves as grave markers or normal scenery. The tombstones can be detached.



The monolith can also be used as scenery or as a scenario-specific monument.



The fences were the result of pure chance when I scrounged through my old print-outs of WWG scenery and found two sheets of transparent Wildwood Grove fences in them. I cut them to TLX 6" specs and made some more posts for them, and some free-standing bases.

Hope you enjoy. Next up is the farmland.

  :oThat is a very impressive work! Could not imagine that paper models and sceneries would be so nice. Wonderful  .

[Mason]

Very nice indeed!

Excellent stuff. I'm not in favour of paper miniatures generally, but this works very well.

Thanks for your kind comments. I was literally non-stop at work yesterday finishing about 20 tiles for my first game last night and we didn't even play in the cemetery

But all had a blast (well, at least the one character who blew himself up with dynamite trying to bomb a lone cultist to smithereens!) and after the first game of looking up rules we can now handle the game pretty well. Only the wound concept was something we had a hard time to figure out, now we play as we think it's intended, with each attack causing one wound if it's damage is equal or higher than the target's CON and if it's the last wound the injury table is used with modifier if the damage was higher tan CON.

Some pics of the first few games to follow. For the farmland, I have to do some crop tiles first, and I plan to do one or two corn fields too

Here are some photos from our first two games. I played as Lurker vs. two Threshold teams.

Some highlights:

Joe Diamond tosses a stick of Dynamite at a Fishman and cultist hiding behind a hedge. Both got caught up in the explosion.



Later, Joe fumbles his to-hit-roll while trying to throw dynamite at the last Cultist... It didn't end well.



A cultist armed with a Bolt-Action Rifle takes a shot at Agent Eads and kills him in the first turn. Needless to say, after that incident the Threshold team quickly took greater care while moving about...



A Fishman, much ridiculed at the start of the game suddenly rushes forward and kills Agent Bale, much to the horror of the Threshold player.



The same Fishman tries to attack Agent Eads, but the Agent fails his Resolve test and flees! Damn! Stay where you are when I'm trying to eat you!!!



Overview of the game table from the Lurker side.



Another Bird's-eye-perspective. This is where I was sitting during both games.

  Hats off to you Sir,pure Awesomeness!

[Cherno]

Thanks. Now send me some photos of your miniatures so I can enlarge my Standee colection

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

any of these?

[aggro84]

Your cardboard terrain really is nice! 
They should sell more boardgames with wonderful paper terrain like this!

I'm really fond of the blast marker. 

Slight threadjack: Nice collection Dr.Falkenhayn.

If I had a cardboard-cutting machinery I would totally sell punch-out scenery that just slots together. Until then, I have to use a trusty hobby knife and my own hands
