General update on the project on my blog: http://towerofthearchmage.blogspot.com/2015/11/6mmrpc-october-wrap-up.html

I haven't made anything specifically for the challenge, but almost all of my terrain is very low cost. I'll have to gather an assortment that cost under $25 and take a bunch of photos of it together.

Blog updated with new pics!

Huts are now complete, though I still think they ended up too large. Also have the pillars/statues in progress.

I actually played!

From the post:
Now, i've had the rulebook for about a month and a half now, but I hadn't yet played a game.

And because I'd been totally focused on building terrain, I hadn't spent much of any time thinking about a warband, or even more importantly a wizard! But I've got a lot of minis. I made a quick look the night before at what I can buy for the starting 500 gold, and settled on:
1 Apprentice (200)
1 Knight (100)
2 Crossbowmen (50 each)
2 Thugs (20 each)
2 Thieves (20 each)
1 Warhound (10)

I haven't tried the cinder block trick yet but I may once I run out of foamcore. I got a trunk full of the stuff from a highschool science fair. I guess they had lots of display boards there that weekend. Lolol

I get it free from work myself. But if I didn't the stuff from the Dollar Store would be great. Cheap and the paper just peels off with little effort. Though if you use non-Dollar Store brand hitting the paper with a heat gun first will do the trick.

So Archmage/Dave, since you have Chris Palmer in your posting reason dictates your in the upper MD area then?

Your starting team is almost exactly what I use :-) guess great minds think alike. Though I use a Soothsayer. Zombies are good really for one main thing... carting a reveal secret treasure off the table first turn.

The dollar store foam core is great! Love working with it.

Grimm - I'm actually more Baltimore based, but close enough.

Now that the holidays have passed, I'm planning on getting back to my challenge. I did work on the Dragons Don't Share terrain though, and I'll be using it for Frostgrave, so here's a pic.

Those pieces have a wonderful ambiance. Well done!

[Froggy the Great]

I have three sets of those which I use in almost every game.  I really like them and commend your choice.

Woah, did you pay the full $75 for all 3? Do you they fill enough table to be worth it for that price?

Well I will have to remember that since I am in North Baltimore.
Loving your work.
