Ormus, known for gargantuan maps that mix tons of terrain with awesome custom pieces, is back with even more excellent custom creations. This piece is the combination of three separate parts.The two rune engraved structures and one ruined statue can be used together or separately, and are simply stunning. You can see the rest of Ormus's work here.

MAP

The BOV has long been a stage for the very best of the best when it comes to map making. Dozens of cartographers submit their maps into the judging process, but nearly all are defeated. This makes it a real acomplishment when a map is accepted. So congratulations to Mooseman on his accepted map, Elswin Plateu! It will no doubt be seen on gaming tables all across the land now.

When we were young, many of us played with toy cars. Matchbox and Hotwheels were staples of toyboxes for years, and still are. But can they also be staples of a heroscape battle? Quozl spculates on the possibility of mixing scape and the game Car Wars to create CarWarsScape. While the idea is very preliminary now, with a little team effort the concept could really take off.

WEEK IN REVIEW
Scapers across the country are busy proxying the new D1 units is anxious preparation for the release next week. Being the genre's first wave release, scapers are relying on these figures to tell whether the game is going in the right direction. Skeptics of the D&Dscape, such as the BIV and Clancambell, have been heard across the boards, and now it is time for D&Dscape to deliver. Major concerns include: Figure sizes, loss of Sci-Fi and Historical genres, and general concern over figure quality.

Once the new wave comes out, if you choose to buy it, we ask that you consider shopping at one of the Site sponsors: Housemouse Games, Wargamer's Headquarters, Cool Stuff Inc., Chaos Media Games, Troll And Toad, or Miniature Market. Most of these sites have also been offering pre-orders for sometime now. Support the sites that support this site!
