GreyOwl's Custom Terrain

[GreyOwl]

These are all from a year or two ago, but I thought I'd collect them in a single thread. I plan on posting some newer one so I wanted to collect them in one place.

Note: click on the pictures for a larger view.

This is a Bone Bridge I made from a Lemax Halloween set. I cut off the rails to widen the bridge (to fit HS bases), removed the pumkins and added skulls from another set, glued a hex on either end, and repainted the whole thing.




Here's the card for the bridge:




These are some columns I made by repainting wedding cake columns, and a dead tree that's a slight mod and full repaint of a tree from a Lemax Halloween set.




The gargoyle on top isn't part of the column, that's just a custom figure sitting up there.


This is a Kyrie Crypt (my personal favorite!), made from a wedding cake decoration and a pair of Raelin wings. I chiseled the decoration to make it look old, sanded off the happy wedding wording, and repainted it all.



Here's the card for the Kyrie Crypt:




Here is a custom graveyard made with the same wedding cake columns, some fences from a Lemax Halloween set (pumpkins cut off and repainted), and a bunch of repainted tombstones and gargoyles (repainted), also from a Lemax set.







Here are the cards for the tombstones and the fence:




For the fog in the graveyard, we have 2 possible house rules we use for it:

MIST - all figures in mist have their range reduced by 1, not to go below 1. All figures in mist roll 1 additional defense die.

FOG - All figures in fog have a range of 1 (including special attacks and special abilities), roll 1 less attack die, and roll 2 additional defense dice.

Nice customs GrayOwl. I particularly like the bridge above the rest. Is the fog made of that fluffy material that goes inside stuffed animals?

[GreyOwl]

The fog, believe it or not, is plain old drugstore cotton balls. I just pulled them apart into thin wisps and laid them on the map.

Yes the bridge is really nice, must keep my eyes peeled for something similar to use...

This is the one I modified, in case you're looking for it: Lemax Halloween Bridge of Bones.

It does take some work in that you'll have to remove all the railing from the top of the bridge and reattach them from the side in order for HS figures to fit. That can be tricky because they're thin and delicate, but it can be done.

Heh heh, nicely done. I like how these things are destructible. Honestly, we need more destructible objects in Heroscape- this is WAR, man, why aren't the glaciers melting from Fire Line, and where's the catapults to tear holes in the foretress of the archkyrie?

The Halloween/spooky theme is also really cool- I can see a lot of awesome boards and intruiging scenarios coming out of these. The bridge and Kyrie Crypt are especially notable.

And, of course, I have to mention the craftsmanship. All the pieces are well done, nicely detailed, etc.

One question, though: what's the Hell-Dog like creature in the first two pictures, next to Marcu?

[GreyOwl]

Thanks for the compliments!

That wolf is a custom I made a long, long time ago:

Thanks, I appreciate it. Unfortunatley, that bridge recently broke when my son was playing with it. Now I need to figure out how to repair it...

AMAZING work. I am getting so many ideas just looking at this stuff!
