Those boards are the dogs doodahs, I would love to be able to make some myself but I don't think I have the tools/skills.
I've also read so much about making them that I've now got information overload

I need to sit down and give thought to just putting some basic boards together.
What normally happens then is I start to think I need european type boards and desert type boards and then some deserty boards with more grass on, then I'll need all three types with rivers running through them and don't get me started on roads and tracks

Ah bugger it I'll just stick to painting figures

Is there ONE company that models crossbowmen firing at the elevation that every contemporary painting and drawing shows?

That looks most excellent!

Great looking table and minis.

Fine looking terrain! I don't have any terrain boards but maybe I should get on that. Great stuff!

I made a hill type thing...

As I think I mentioned earlier, I don't really like the generic 'wargame hill', and want some more realistic slopes. In particular I think having them as piece for the table edge helps, suggesting the start of a much bigger slope rather than being a random little hump in the middle of the battlefield.

This first one is a test piece really, I wanted to try out some new techniques. So it's small and steep, with rocks and undergrowth. Not very practical in terms of model placement, but that doesn't matter, it has a small surface area so doesn't take up much table space. It will sure look good on the edge of the battlefield though, especially with lots of trees around it I'm thinking.

I'm gonna call it a success!

And here's a second similar one I've started. The two of them together will make a nice little valley entrance for a small stream, or just a little footpath.

Sometime in the future I will make a much bigger one to cover more table edge, more friendly for model placement, which an army can defend nicely.

Nicely done, the vegetation looks very convincing.

Great looking set-up you have.

I really like the hill.

That is a splendid looking "hill type thing"

Nice bit of terrain. Are you planning to link the two with a long ridge?

Thanks everyone!

Yes, I'm very pleased with that myself!

No, they're not designed to be linked up.
