Got a small update on my non-lizards.
I was inspired by my brother's productiveness on his home-built settler's of cataan board game recently to go base/create movement trays my Bretonnians as well
My mind was blown when I saw this picture. He even made CLOUD TILES for all the tiles on the map that aren't revealed yet! And he is working on a pirates expansion and his own creations for this thing!
Needless to say, I was incredibly inspired.
So this is what I have gotten to so far with these movement trays:
Got enough for each of the knight regiments, and smaller ones from the men-at-arms and peasant archers.
I am still trying to figure out how I am going to paint these movement trays though, here are the options I was considering:
OPTION 1: paint them green and add maybe a heraldry symbol in the center, like I did for my saurus base movement trays. The difference would be drawing the shield of each knight unit's champion.
OPTION 2: The second heraldry-version would be to paint each individual knights heraldry on the spot they go. That would REALLY help my temporary OCD that sits in every time I line these guys up on the battlefield, because I never want two knights sitting next to each other who have the same color... but it might make the empty bases look too busy and start to look annoying when casualties start to mount up (or down?) and have to be taken out of the tray.
OPTION 3: The last idea doesn't have any heraldry, but instead would make the trays look like jungle roads, painted to look similar to the jungle roads I have already created. This would probably look pretty cool (especially if I manage to make the bases of the knights themselves look like jungle roads!) and could double as terrain pieces if I wanted them too.
Any opinions?
