Throwing down the gauntlet! - WiP 4

hi guys

No YouTube video for you today, to the relief of some I'm sure! I just wanted to show the progress I've made with this project so far.

As you know I've been beavering away making the basic tiles, sewer tiles and walls. What I wanted was to get the bare bones of the dungeon/sewer completed before starting on the more bespoke, interesting pieces like bridges, traps and other interactive terrain. 

So what have I got so far well..... 

i've done a few walls!

As for the sewers themselves, a blogging buddy - Jez suggested that they could benefit from sewer 'gators, a suggestion I was more than happy to take on board and here they are from Wargames Foundry. 

pre-pour

I received two in my order so I decided one should be under the waterline and the other above. So before I did the final resin pour I added a 'gator and poured the resin over until just the very back of the creature protruded out of the water! The other I left out so it could be placed where needed.

Next up was some bits I got from Salute! First of all are some hard resin, pre-painted pieces I got from a trader - DMB Games.  They are part of a set of scatter terrain they've made for their dungeon tiles.  I went for the packs with the fire pits in them.  You can take the fire out, leaving just a log pile or not.  I just needed to paint the flames on, they come in a pack with barrels, chests and other pieces and just look fab.

I'm also currently working on a load of monsters and heroes as well as a few other terrain pieces but that's all i've got for you today.  Last pics are of a sample layout of the sewer system.

hope you enjoy

Throwing down the gauntlet! - WiP 3

Hi all

and it progresses! the project is going well, so far I've made (and recorded) the basic tiles and the walls or at least some of them. So it's definitely time to get those tiles finished up :-)

I've got 9 tiles made up so far, covering 3x3 feet and as I've said they are just the basic layout without too much detail.  I have recorded the building of the sewer sections for you guys to see how i've put them together and how the board is developing and below is a pic or three of how the full tiles are looking.

here is the link to the YouTube video for the sewer sections.

So what's next then?  well firstly I'm going to build more walls, corners, junctions so that the bones of the dungeon take shape - all modular of course for as much variety as we can imagine.  But we need more than just walls and floors to populate a dungeon, so there are going to be bridges to cross the sewer, traps, altars, cells, new tiles with split levels, pipe work, statutes, treasure, lairs and other pieces to pick up and place at the whim of the DM. For 7TV2 and those TMNT dudes, there will be evil plots to foil, doomsday machines and all sorts of goodies to produce a fun filled evening or two!

hope you enjoy

Throwing down the gauntlet! - WiP 2

Hi all

I hope you've enjoyed/are enjoying the bank holiday weekend. In my last post on this project I posted a video on how i started to build my modular sewer/dungeon tiles for the 7TV2e game I'm planning, I'm also planning on using them in a summer D&D campaign that my daughter will be hosting (she doesn't know this yet.....bwahahaha).

Anyway, I've completed another video on how I've put the walls together and how they fit with the tiles.  Props to Luke Fellows (Luke's APS) and Steven Fletcher (Steve's Small World) for a couple of the techniques which I have blatantly (stolen) borrowed.

Here is the link to the video

Thursday post will be the next update from Chris's excellent Nordland project, which is shaping up beautifully and then we're at Salute! I hope to meet some of you there.

hope you enjoy
