    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.

    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.

    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?? :p:D

    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.

    Or someone captures Tyranids and let's them fight each other in an arena? Like dog-fights?

    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?
