Here we will show you various pieces of our terrain that we use to run our
campaigns.
Most everything is made using materials that anyone could easily
get a hold of.
| Players discuss their plan to take the supply lane and warehouse. |
 |
| A Zues and an Archer take cover behind some rocky outcroppings. |
 |
| Broad panorama of the pursuing battle. An Assassin sneaks up on a Night Gyr as it sets its sight on the wounded Banshee. |

onslaught. The Jade Falcon opposition pushes back the Lyran 'mechs. |

in a moderately populated terrain board. |

fight to the clanners. |
 |
| Some palm templates. Everyone loves tropical Battletech. |
 |
| A closeup of some of our miniatures. A Hunchback IIC, a Banshee, and a Pheonix Hawk. This picture shows what the "basecoat, ink, drybrush, drybrush" painting method with end up looking like on your figs. |

Made from bubblegum containers and an old satellite dish from the millennium
falcon. |
 |

 |
| Two flocked pieces of MDF board are used for the gaming surface. Each
board is 70"x50" making the complete playing surface 70"x100"
which roughly converts to 1.47 x 2.72 hex maps of playing surface. |

in with four half and half containers. Make sure you dry brush your buildings to give them a 'worn' look. |

they may be placed on top of hills to create a wooded elevation or placed
inside light woods templates to create a heavy woods. |

 |
| Some Marauders take partial cover behind some built up gun emplacements. |

flocked. |

glazed card stock to seal the holes. Painted and flocked. The 'water'
is envirotex glazing varnish. |

cap, rubber chair stoppers, and a black piece of wire hose are some examples. |
