tea_wild_owl Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi all, I want this to be a place to post and to collect ideas how you customize your shadespire warband or board I'll start with some markers for blocked terrain that I build, so that it is easier to identify these tiles. and it looks nicer on the board and I changed weapon and shield for my female stormcast ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attackmack Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Those blocket terrain piece look amazing! Did you scratch make them or found something to dissect? Im waiting for a big pack of MDF hexes to arrive so I can get started with my 3d boards, ordered enough to make 4 complete boards and some spares to go. Want to at least try make a good looking hex grid with some details and greeble. I was initially going to build the blocked terrain into the boards but seeing yours im thinking maybe loose pieces is better and definitely easier to store! Havent thought much about objectives yet aside from the very obvious D20 one, ill have to hunt for a good looking D20 Keep this updated, again those pieces look stunning!

Seems 50mm is my best bet then... How many blocked hexes are there in all? Can we get a photo of both sides of the boards (if double sided)?

How many blocked hexes are there in all? Can we get a photo of both sides of the boards (if double sided)? 2 boards have 3 blocked hexes, one is 1-2 the other 3. Then there is Shardfall that can block a space too for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuff Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I might try my own with broken stonework and pillars, sand, and skeleton bits on hexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found 50 and 55mm hexes, decided on 50 as they, with a bit of spacing, should be roughly the same size as the original boards. And still big enough to hold the minis and some details.

Yes i plan on making entire boards by gluing 50mm hex bases to a single board to form the grid. At least thats the plan, we will see how that pans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallack Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I bought some hexes that fit EXACTLY the board, these are the mdf I bought: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/2mm-MDF-Wargaming-Base-Bases-Round-Square-Rectangular-Hexagonal-Octagonal/182626899121?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=485187785059&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 I chose 60mm because they measure from corner to corner. I initially bought some from them and bought them 50mm but because they measure from "corner" to "corner" instead of from flat side to flat side they were much smaller. The 60mm ones fit perfectly.
