Re: Modular Hex Terrain
Made a mockup of a map available in the Downloads section: Isla de Sombra (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/downloads.php?do=file&id=3753). It provides an idea of what you can build and what it...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
Was wondering if there was a thread or someone had a high resolution screenshot of one of the faces of a standard tile? Just the top of the tile as seen from above in very high magnification. Would...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
I've finally uploaded the modular hex terrain eBook to my site. The URL is in my signature.
Half tiles, bridges, terrain designs, and the other things I'd shown in the imgur album will have to be...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
Do you mean these (http://www.toydirectory.com/Hexabits/)? I've actually held those in my hand and the hexagons are far too small for Heroscape figurines.
@Xorlof: I've started working on the...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
I appreciate the interest Xorlof, it's always reassuring to find a fan. I own an eCraft Xorlof. I've thought about using it, but the cuts aren't the stuff of legendary precision. I use it mostly as a...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
I refer to them as modules. A module has three elements: a cap, a core, and couplings. The cap are the sheets that cover the core and provide the solid surface for the figures to stand on. The core...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
Not Heroscape official, but if someone should feel so inclined, slant tiles can be made.

@Arch-vile: I'm now happy to say I have photographic evidence (http://papersmithforge.imgur.com/) that illustrates that bridges are possible.

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
Timed myself and I can now construct a module comfortably in approximately 9 minutes, definitely an improvement. This does not include cutting out the module covers or connectors (those are cut much...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
I realize it has been a long while since I last update this thread. Figured someone may still have interest. One of the things that dissuaded me from making the system available is the amount of time...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
Not at all reverie. The only reason I haven't continued work is other offline life matters are taking precedence, but rest assured I haven't given up on it. Things should settle down in a month or so...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
I've run into a bit of a "snag". The issue is that when you stack these tiles you get half tile increments. So in order to get a full tile increment (in the vertical direction) you'd have to stack...

Re: Modular Hex Terrain
@Chill & Lord Pyre: I don't know why I selected 1.5" and 1/2" thickness for the tiles to be honest, maybe they just seemed like "nicer" numbers in terms of divisions (possibly something to with...

Modular Hex Terrain
Greetings Heroscapers. I will digress with a bit of back story as this is my first post here. A couple of years back I had been working on a modular hex terrain system. A friend of mine took notice...
