Sir Heroscape's custom terrain
 

I've been working on a lot of terrain for some time and here's what I've got!! let me know what you think, give feedback, and if there's interest I can give a full tutorial on the ticalla bushes and pine trees.

Custom pines

These make excellent substitutes for trees from the Forgotten Forest Expansion set. They are dirt cheap, $1.89 for 8 of them. for the smaller sized trees on the 1-hex tile it takes me 6 of the small pines. When I'm doing the taller ones, it takes 9 or 12. They can be found here.

Orc Bridge

Pieces came from an old LOTR model Urukai Ballista that I tore apart for pieces.

Fire pit

Wood pieces came from LOTR model Urukai Ballista...fire came from Crystal Wars

One-hex bridge

Made from a ladder from a lego type set called Crystal Wars

Pillar of the Undead

Got it at the dollar store around halloween and added rocks and moss to cover base

Ticalla bushes

Got these supplies from walmart for pretty cheap in their fish section. make excellent ticalla substitutes.

Barricade

Fencing I got from the Lego type set call Crystal wars

Stone arches

Pillars came from Crystal Wars

Water rocks

Rocks came from Crystal Wars

Catapult



Volcarren Wasteland

Volcarren Wasteland (Version 2.0)

Wooden Palisade

Hey, great job! :)

Really like the Orc Bridge and Barricade because of how detailed they are, but everything looks really good.

I tried searching for the Crystal Wars set you mentioned and I didn't come up with anything. Do you have a link you could share?

Re: adoney's terrain
 

Try Krystal Wars. It's a Megablok line.

Nice stuff here!

Re: adoney's terrain
 

Ishmel is right, it's actually Krystal Wars. I don't have a specific source b/c I got this set as a kid and now I just use pieces from the set for making heroscape terrain. This link shows the same set I have, selling on eBay, and you can see the stone pillars and the ladders, and the rocks I used for the water rocks are in the set as well. The fencing for my barricades came from a different set that can be found here.

Re: adoney's terrain
 

I like the giant Ticalla bushes!

Re: adoney's terrain
 

Most of that Krystal Wars stuff is nicely done. Those snow-covered pines look real good on a battlefield. Are you making trees to go with the bushes?

Re: adoney's terrain
 

Thanks! Yeah I'm planning on making trees, just gotta collect the materials. I want to try my own custom, BUT I also really love the tutorial by @Grishnakh here...and will probably just make them like the tutorial but add some more underbrush on the base of the trees.

Re: adoney's terrain
 

Wow these are very well made!

Re: adoney's terrain
 

Hey all! Just followed the tutorial by @Grishnakh to make custom Ticalla trees. I highly recommend it! These trees make a great addition to the battlefield and he provides an easy tutorial to follow, very detailed and very cheap...cost me only $13.50 total all of which I bought at the local Michael's craft store! So this is the is the first one I've made, and I'll be making more. Let me know what you think?

Re: adoney's terrain
 

That came out looking great! I made several of them a few years back and still use them. In fact they were in a huge game I ran this past Saturday so they hold up very well. Now that you've done one and have a sense of what's involved my suggestion would be to do 4 or 5 all at once, assembly line style. I found it to be a bit easier to do it that way. How long did it take you to make the first one?

Re: adoney's terrain
 

Thank you! I was really pleased with it as well. To be honest, I was surprised at how sturdy the trunks are when you twist the wire together...so I'm glad to hear they last.

I appreciate the tip as well...b/c yes...it probably took...well...3 hours :-P. Keep in mind I'm very meticulous and try to make sure I get things right. I think now that I have a handle on it though it'll go a lot quicker.

Re: adoney's terrain
 

All that stuff looks really cool. I'm pretty stoked about the link to the pine trees.(Not that I need more mini terrain) Thanks for sharing and keep it up. It looks great.
