Downloads can be found here: http://hosted.filefront.com/MarioTani/ or in the Downloads section under "Bin-o-Goodies."
More picts on pages 6 & 7. Scenarios on page 7.

These are large-format files to print out hex sheets of various terrain. Also available are much smaller 8.5" x 11" sheets that can be printed and tiled together to make larger maps.

06-10-07 Update:
Large hex mat files have been moved to this new location: http://hosted.filefront.com/MarioTani
Read more about it on the Italian HeroScapers website http://www.spazioforum.it/forums/her...5731.html#5731

To get a jump on the upcoming Master Set 2, I've added a JUNGLE tile pattern to the downloads section and on my web site as well.
You can also grab the JUNGLE WATER tile pattern, titled SWAMP, which has been available for awhile now.

01-20-06 Update:

These mats are 8.5"x11" so print as many as you need.

12-10-06 Update:
Mats correctly revised and scaled 99.408% from original postings.

NOTE: HeroScape hex pieces are not a common size; the snow and land is one size, the road tiles are slightly bigger, and water tiles are larger still. Depending on your map construction, the pieces may or may not fit extactly to map grid.

If you're looking to cover a LOT of space without using tiles, give these a try.


Water (mat_36x60f_water.pdf) 3 MB


Sand (mat_36x60f_sand.pdf) 25.8 MB -- made pattern non-repeating


Grass (mat_36x60f_sand.pdf) 800 KB -- repeating pattern

...and many more!

Grab them here: Bin-O-Goodies

Would make a great contest prize

[django]

those would be awesome if they were printer on felt and had about 6 inches all around with no print.

[Malechi]

Those are nice!

I have one suggestion however ... Make 'em sparkly!

Yeah, I can run the contest. The prize: Whatever is left over after I take everything I want!


Seriously though, put me down for Water if mass printing does come to fruition!

I like the idea, but can it be done and still keep the file size under 2 MB?

With me (the living embodiment to the bane of ink cartridges everywhere!) involved? I highly doubt it. I couldn't even stop at sparkly ... I gave them a 3D appearance also!

[K/H_Addict]

did malechi just say bane!?

[Nooblar]

SHH! Do not mention Those-we-do-not-speak-of!

[Doc_Savage]

I still dig the water mat best. The Valhalla islands with long bridges between beckon......

good idea. You know these could easily be printed on Felt sheets with a big silk screen. Could use photo emulsion on a large screen. Expose it to UV. spray off the unhardened emulsion, and you could crank out about 100 or 200 of these with the same screen. Cost would be relativly cheap as well. If you wanted the shading and sparkly look, you would have to shoot two screen for each color, or use a halftoning in the sparkles. Most likely would have to be printed on white felt thou, unless you laid down a mat of white first.

Actually, they have this cloth at walmart that looks like water. You could just silkscreen a hex outline pattern over it. It looks like real water already, with reflective sparkles in it. I use it for pirates of the spanish main, but would look great for HS as well.
