Woah, those are really nice I think they would look really good with Einar troops. How do the look if painted? Can't say I would actually won't them, as wood of the molds in my humid house

Those look beautiful. Keep us posted on whether the work as advertised. If they do I will definitely grab some of those.

Well, it looks as though Lyris is moving their studio, so any new orders will take a little more time to get situated than expected. So my update will only be including the larger hexes until the skinnies get here.

All good!!

Those look good... What're the chances they'll come out with 24 or 7 hexes?

Personally I was considering wood glue to replicate those :P

And here is a review of the skinny ones, which ended being the ones I got.

-Has a slight bump to represent it as a tile, like land tiles as opposed to water tiles
-Ever so slightly taller than water hexes
-Soft to the touch, but not to where I think I can snap them in half with my hands
-Very smooth, probably part of makes them soft
-Not indented, so they'll need support from adjacent real hexes so they dont slide away from
-Some teeth on a wood hex don't always keep the adjacent wood hex by its side
-Ruins do appear to work fine, even if you need to rotate hexes due to slight innacuracies
-Sweeping expansions of land won't work, these guys are just a wee but bigger than standard HS hexes but they are fine if used in moderation
-7 of these guys stacked on top of each other is the same height as 4 normal land tiles on top of each other, so great for extra support for overhangs

Overall grade: C+ to me, though I can see somone with a less full collection giving it a solid B.
Considering the price of 50 skinny tiles, its not a bad investment if your into custom terrain and think that you totally need a wooden bridge or wooden flooring for a castle. I would definately recommend picking up at least 3 cases if you have a smaller collection and are in the mood for some glueing and painting. They can help make more vertical boards as they're not bad.
