Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

Personally, I would like the visual reference in the 3D figure libraries to include the inscribed raised hex areas... so I would resize the figures a little smaller, or the maps a little larger. But that's just my personal preference.

YEA to slightly larger maps.

That being said, the hive probably needs to be resized accordingly in order to make a good benchmark sculpt.

Yes, the hive is a bit off. Looking back, the template that I used for sizing the figures was not a very good one, but it would be very painful to go back. Fixing the hive, and any non-normal based figures that need it, is what will need to happen.

Just make a new template that includes raised hex outlines, but make that raised hex portion be the same size as the hexes from the old template. Then there's minimal resizing to do, and the template can be used to properly size maps, as well.

I'm on it. This time, I'm going to compare figures and hexes to get some closer proportions. Stay tuned.

Sounds great guys.

The Hive with its six hexes would always be a more accurate benchmark for sizing maps than a template with only two, so I'd prefer to use the former. As long as they're accurately scaled to each other, though, it shouldn't be a problem.

As soon as the Hive is finessed to whatever size it should be to serve as a yardstick, let me know, and I'll resize these boards accordingly.

Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

Take a look here.
The proportions on the different bases are about as close as we're going to get. The empty space in new template is the same size as the raised area of a hex, and the thick black lines are very close to the space between hexes. Re-sizing info in the spoiler.
Spoiler Alert!
Do you think the Hive in that doc is sized correctly? If so, I will copy it into the Utgar template, and you can use it to re-size the maps.

Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

Everything AU said seems to check out. I think we have a good standard, now.

As dok said, everything looks great. Reads great too.

I'll take the Hive from the test doc, and start re-sizing the maps now. Please do copy him into the Utgar template. (The one already there is indeed larger.)

Re: The Boards of Online Heroscape

All boards resized!

I'd be grateful if you guys could double-check a couple. Maybe just copy a few figures of different bases over, and confirm that they fit as you envision.


The Hive works beautifully as a benchmark.

Among other things, it also does a good job of revealing when a map has been inadvertently stretched along one axis or another. Turned out that the map for Sirocco had been stretched horizontally. Returning it to its proper proportions gained us some space on the board.

Hmm, that's odd. I have no idea how the Hive in the Utgar template got bigger, but it's fixed now.

I'll probably get some more boards in here later today.
