3D modular terrian Battletech

Ok had a great time at bayou wars with my terrain. It took a lot more work then I wanted but the design is great. Biggest problem right now is the production process. So if your interested in hexes let me know. I have some ideas to crank out hexes faster and with more precision if there is enough interest. Each of these maps are made of individual hexes that where attached to a foam board with 2 sided tape and then painted and flocked. Even added some rubble hexes. The maps are copies of two paper maps. Desert Hills and Desert mountains. Ok enough talk to the PHOTOS!













The system worked great with the hex building blocks and would have been awesome if they where more precise and easier to make. Seriously if there is enough interest then I may open production on sets of these. However at this time I cannot because the time and money are to much of a gamble right now. Enjoy the pics. If your interested in purchasing these maps contact me. I may sell them if someone wants them.

Battletech Quick Strike Cards



Having tried the quick strike rules we quickly fell in love with them. So I did a bunch of cards using the template that catalyst provides and stats from skunkwerks conversions. I posted them all online so feel free to download and use them. If you haven't tried quick strike then give it a shot. Its faster cleaner and way more fun. Of course you need to get some terrain but come on buy some cheap trees and some green felt and go to town. Spray paint areas darker green for the trees and maybe even a nice road and you have your a game map. Add hills and building later just have some fun.

Battletech Token Set

Battletech Tokens!

Ok I know litko made a set for mech combat but I felt it was lacking. So I decided to make my dream set. Each token is about the size of the hex side for the minis. I feel this works better and looks a lot better. Here is a run down of what I thought was needed

Run
Walk
Jump
Out of Control
Unconscious
Pilot Check
Prone
Torso Twist

If you have more suggestions let me know. I will be posting set of these for sale soon.




Modular Battletech Terrain

Ok got some pics and some info. I'm designing a modular battletech hex terrain map system. The down side each hex is individual. The plus side is its very flexible. Still working out the production side of things but my first map is coming together. here are the basic units.






A little wood glue to seal them with some paint mixed in for color. add a little red flocking and the hope is I can make a rather cool looking desert map. Still working out the final stages of how to hold it all together but the tape is working great for painting a ton of small hexes at a single time.

Stay tuned for more info and possible product. Right now its way to much work for me to produce them on a regular basis.
