Scenery Fun Terrain challenge

A Quarry.....hmm.


This ^ is from Age of Empires. Wonders what specifics @tom ndege had in mind.

~~~ I have just learned there is an Igneous rock called Purple Porphory, but there is only one quarry site on Earth where it comes from. ~~~

 

Burlap wrapped around small wooden blocks or cylinders might be a decent way to construct wicker-work containers. Wooden coffee stirrers could help with crates. A bead store is a source for 28mm scale pottery. I have often wondered what sort of containers Maya, Aztec, Toltec (or Lizardmen) would use for trade goods.

I can picture old Stegadons past their fighting prime being used to haul cargo but what the cargo would consist of is a bit of a stumper.

 

Had the on from anni 1602 in min:

 

I wanted to leave this suggestion as open as possible -- terrain that is hard to navigate. Looking forward to see what you come up with!

This one should be interesting.. Any rules about whether or not monsters & minis are allowed in our terrain @Crowsfoot ?

 

I would second that question. Today I drew a draft of my entry and it turns out that the best possible way to execute it is to make a vignette. Hopefully, that is allowed.

 

The mighty @Crowsfoot is a kind and benevolent ruler.

 

So I get to make an arena... interesting
I guess warden you meant a fighting arena...
I don´t think I´ll be able to make it tyranid themed, so I´ll have to be lizardmen themed... Now the only question is monster to monster arena, or saurus fighting pit??

 

Or where captured Tilean pirates go to make their final stand...against a Saurus...or a Krox.

 

Great assignment! I will start my research.

Sounds good to me! When I put down the idea I was thinking something like a gladiator pit, but thinking along the lines of the Lizardmen I envision something looking more like a Mayan ballcourt? Maybe they conduct sacrifices when the game is done?



I don't know how to fit an "arena" theme for tyranids, unless its maybe an underground fighting-pit for a genestealer cult.

 

Shrine....hmm....*starts to draw sketches*

 

Haha the imagery for that is really funny. I like the idea of tyranid pit bosses betting on grunts like an underground fight. Cigars and bowler hats for all?

 

Looks fantastic so far! Is it going to be lizards-oriented? Or perhaps a generic quarry?

 

I've got ideas for mine, need to get some modelling clay though to make more trees.

 

A small sneek peek of my terrain project. What might that mean?

 

Shall we post winps or only results?

 

WIPs would be interesting to see IMO
