FIW: UD 13/5 More Warlord plastic conversions & a skiff

[Eric the Shed]

looking great....no actually fantastic

Thanks Giles  

Small update. The WIP French 'de la Marine' officer and 5 Canadian militia.

The Officer is converted from the WG Hessian box. The 5 militia are from the WG Colonials box. In both cases axes have been added from the Woodland Indians box with blanket rolls and satchels from a number of places.

The terrain is finally finished - for now....  . What's important is that I have enough for a first game.

Btw these 4 new tiles have shown more warpage than the 100 or so I've made previously. I put it down to the gravel slope requiring a lot of glue that contracted, the woodland having so many holes for sockets so as to undermine integrity of the MDF, and the bay sections having so much water that also contracted. Anyways, despite an uneven tabletop (I should have considered my wargaming needs when we bought it!) I'm pleased with how everything has levelled out. There are of course grid lines but I'm content with those (they even help with the solo element of my rules).

Looks fabulous...now stick some figures on them 

[Malamute]

That looks bloody good.

[Romark]

They all look great,water effects especially 

[NurgleHH]

Great board, Steve. Good idea to keep the parts small and transportable...

[Captain Blood]

Marvellous as ever, Mr M.
Looking forward to a game on it 

[Silent Invader]

Thanks chaps.  

Colours are a bit bright in places due to the overhead lighting but I'm pleased.

Yep, it's calling out for a game and is transportable - got to finish the minis though.  I'm also extremely mindful that I have other games to organise..... (note to self: test the rules sooner rather than later!)

That looks bloody brilliant, Steve.
So versatile too.
 

Speaking of versatile: Have you considered making some modular 'jungle' scenery including plug-in palms?
I reckon these would pass well for other climes with that simple addition. That water colour would be great for other silted up areas. I am thinking Vietnam, South America, Africa, Lost Worlds ( )  etc.

[Silent Invader]

Thanks Paul and no, I hadn't thought of plug in palms. Oh gawd, now I have an inkling to watch Platoon for the 37th* time .....



*I made that number up but it's probably not far wrong. I once watched it 7 times in 10 days. We were on holiday in Portugal and it was the only English-language movie on the cable feed.

Really great table.
Love it.
Hope you enjoy many wonderful games on it.

[Dr. Zombie]

That does look rather good.

And now that paul mentions it. Some palm trees and a few waves on the water and it would be safe to surf. You might even take a walk on the hills and smell the - victory.

[Landsknecht]

Outstanding!

[Malamute]

Yep, it's calling out for a game and is transportable -
