    Title says it all. I tried to search for it on the forum, but it was no use. Have there been made any guides or can given any info on how to make tiles with a temple theme?

    I think it would be cool to have something like that and it's most likely quite a lot cheaper than buying them pre-made lol.

    The simpleest thing to do is get some cerial box type cardboard,
    and draw tiles on it real rard with a balpoint pen or a pencil,
    this wil leave an impressin in the card that will show up after
    you glue it to the base and paint it.

    alternately,
    you could cot out pavers from the came carboard,
    and clue them individualy to the base, for a more ruined look.

    Thanks for the replies. Is greenstuff expensive? - I've never used it, but it sounds as an interesting idea since I suppose it's a flexible material.

    Depends on the country i guess.. in denmark its like 10 Euros for a very good size.. i have used it for all my bases.. and a whole lot more.. and still have like 60% left from what i purchased :) Also depends what you use it for ofc :p

    Its like what you played with as a kid :p playpuddy or what ever the english name is for it.. just a little more sticky so use water on your fingers and whatever tool your using.. and then let it dry.. it becomes almost as hard as plastic :)
