Simple but effective pirate terrain
« on: June 30, 2013, 10:38:06 AM »
Today I put on a pirate display at the Kapiti Wargames Club's open day. I say ‘display', because it wasn't a game as such, but just an excuse to lay out as much of my piratical terrain and figures as I could, in a static display piece.

I guess I could've just as easily played a game on the terrain, but I was too lazy to do so. Anyway, I just wanted to enjoy talking to the club members and any other spectators, and convincing people that good terrain needn't be too complicated.

Loads of piccies here:  http://arteis.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/pirate-raid-in-kapiti/

And here's some samples of the photos:

Nice, Roly. I was just thinking the other day that I hadn't seen anything from the Kapiti boys for some time.  :(
Cheers,

If I had such a great collection of terrain and figures I'd be setting up dioramas as well.

Great collection and thanks for posting.

Love the terrain, it makes a game so much more enjoyable and tells a story. Have you used an old pice of carpet for the rolling hills and coastline?
