most boards on KZfaq are cluttered and filled where they try to make them look realistic. But eventually you'll have an annoying time with these boards because minis and troops can't maneuver. I think if war gamers were honest they would build boards like yours :D

Well done! I prefer a textured surface as well, so I made an acrylic battlemat that covers the largest table we have that matches my DIY terrain and miniature bases. I've thought of trying something like this as well, but I don't think I have the space for it. The mat is quite long, but it fits under the bed when not in use.
@thriftminis
@thriftminis Ай бұрын
That's great, I made a lot of sketches trying to figure out how I was going to do a board. Those DIY acrylic mats are cool and I may give making one of those a try at some point. Do they have an odor like acrylic caulk? Or does that go away?
@Christian_from_Copenhagen
@Christian_from_Copenhagen Ай бұрын
@@thriftminis There's a slight smell, but nothing major. I made a combat patrol sized mat before I committed to a larger mat, although it took about as long to do the bigger one later. The nice thing about the bigger mat is that the edges tend to curl up a bit, but that doesn't matter when the texture extends beyond the table edge. With the smaller one I'd stack some bookstacks in each end 15-20 minutes before a game and that fixed the issue.

Completely agree on the neoprene battlemats, not tactile enough for my tastes. This is an elegant solution that looks achievable by most hobbyists. I suppose storage might be an issue in a small home.
@thriftminis
@thriftminis Ай бұрын
Hey how have you been?! Thank you, I agree storage could be an issue for some. I have them stacked on a top shelf in my office. That is the primary advantage of a mat. Maybe i will do a desert as a big 4x6 caulk and sand battlemat? We will see.

Great conversions dude. Very much the same minis I used for my scavies. Just missing the Scalies, and I'd be interested to see how you kitbash them. I have used my stand in kroxigors and given them weapons from my Landsnecht ogres force.
@thriftminis
@thriftminis Ай бұрын
Kroxigors is a cool idea! Ideally I will find the original metal Scalies at at some point but if I dont i have considered kit bashing Reaper bones trolls since they kind of look the part. I would make 2 holding gun stocks that were magnetic so the could swap harpoons or cannons and 2 others with hand to hand weapons. The trolls are only about $4 each. I found a Karloth Valois at my local game store for about $8 in the blister pack so I hope I just keep getting lucky with old models. Thanks for watching!
