[heroscaper2.0]

very simple and well designed. Very nice, and welcome to the site

ps looks like you are a huge lotr fan, so am i

[Hed_the_huge]

Yep. I was a scout until they discontinued everything. But I still run tournaments and have promos for prizes.

[Billtog]

I really like Hills. It's so eloquently simple.

[monkeyfish]

Nice maps!!!
BTW: This is my 600th post :D

[Obsidian3d]

Those maps are very cool. While I do enjoy having big epic maps to play on, sometimes it's fun just to do something small for a quick melee.

[Taelord]

Real cool map Hed :D Real simple

[Hed_the_huge]

Added rampart map to original post and bumped.

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Love the white tree banners! Do you have a close-up picture?

[Hed_the_huge]

Here are a couple of sites where I got some flags. I will post the other one later.

Simple and elegant is right. Great work and thanks for posting the links for the Flag art.

[CupidsArt]

I really Like 2 Towers, very creative & it looks like a blast to play, :D

[LongHeroscaper]

Your maps are really good. I will definitely want to play them! Hope to see more of your maps.

[Jandars_Hope]

Cool maps! I really like the second castle one - very interesting castle designs!

[Hed_the_huge]

Found another good flag and banner site:

I particulary like the Rampart map and can see a number of scenarios built around it.

Added Balin's Tomb map to original post and bumped.

[Hed_the_huge]

Here is the cut out for Balin's Tomb. It is sized correctly for Heroscape.

[Cavalier]

:shock: What sets (how many) did it take to build Balin's Tomb??

[Hed_the_huge]

It took at least 6 castle sets and everything else I had. I have just been buying tiles. So I don't know what the rest would be in equivelent sets. Sorry.

[Hed_the_huge]

Map Set 1 Two Towers revised. I now have enough castle parts to make it right.

[NecroBlade]

Big or small, simple or complex, all your maps are great, keep it up!

[kboleen]

Wow, I just saw your maps based on the LOTR TMG. I miss that game. I still think it had the single best miniature rules out there. Battle chains rolled at the same time was a stroke of genius. Good job on the maps.

Do you still play? We still play here in Michigan. Also, I have been playing more in the forums on Laurhidil. Come back!

[Hed_the_huge]

I was asked through a PM where did these maps come from. The following is the maps that came with the LOTR-TMG game. Please note that red lines generally surround hills, triangles mean elevated terrain, black lines mean impassable and black/white lines mean you can shoot through but no combat.

Added three bridges map to original post and bumped.

[Marduk]

I really like the starter ruins - it never occured to me to use the ruins on tower tops like that. Between that and the scattered battlements it has a good 'fallen' look to it.
