Inquisitor via Pulp Alley on Battle Systems Terrain.
« on: September 11, 2014, 05:21:42 PM »

After spending aaaages assembling my flat pack Battle Systems terrain over the last couple of weeks I got to play a game on it with a buddy and his new skirmish force a couple of days ago.  Pulp Alley delivered a fun game as usual and while the set up time for the terrain was significant, I will be able to do it a bit more quickly and satisfyingly next time.  It did make for a good looking, thematic game though.











The batrep, which features additional photos is HERE.

Comments all welcome of course :)

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Blackstone, Zoidberg is from Armorcast.  Its not a great miniature, but its so recognisable that it doesnt matter :)

thebinman, I got two of the Basic "Stronghold" set plus a couple of extras.  I didnt use everything in this game though, more like two thirds or so.

Brilliant looking table and nicely laid out too.

The AAR was great and most importantly it sounded like you had a load of fun.

I'm still waiting on my box O battle station stuff to arrive here in the States.
Did you have any problems with removal from sheets or assembly?

Thanks, I got the basic set and a couple of the infested packs, which will be more than enough for now. What is the footprint of the board you have there it looks massive!

The more I look at this and your blog the more impressed I am with your painting and the BS terrain, I might in the end have to back the fantasy KS too!

If its not fun then whats the point?  lol

Fun doesnt have to mean silly or stupid of course.  I do however like my gaming to be escapist, hence lobster men, goggledogs, floating skulls wearing hats etc.


Did you have any problems with removal from sheets or assembly?

The die cutting went right through the sheets on everything except some of the railings, which were a little more troublesome to remove.  The manufacturing was solid overall.

Assembly was inevitably time consuming, but less time consuming than getting a similar effect with anything else would be. You probably wont be playing a game on it the day that you get your set though.  Assembly involved trimming of slots in some cases.  I also ran superglue into parts that are likely to get worn quickly.  This all took time.

What is the footprint of the board you have there it looks massive!

The footprint is all of the floor tiles from two Stronghold sets.  It makes a roughly 40" square with two extra tiles (they can be seen in the top right of the plan image above.

Fantastic! This looks like a good way to get some nice looking terrain on the table.

40" square looks perfect for Pulp Alley scenarios.  ;)
