A Green and Pleasant Land - Creating a Gaming Table for Barons War
A Path Among the Trees
Now that we have a river, and a bridge to cross it, it seems natural to place vegetation as well as a path that will use that bridge.
The trees were purchased years ago from Terrain For Games (https://terrains4games.com/113-landscape-terrain ). The trees are hand made and thus they only produce them in the Summer months. Any tree you ahve is fine, really, but I strongly suggest you place them on a ‘forest’ base that will delineate the forested area and allow you to clearly define parameters affecting troops movement, LOS (line of sight) and cover. Always try to use tree clumps to break LOS and movement, so as to make the table more interesting.
For the road, I selected Forest Cart Tracks from Printable Scenery ( https://www.printablescenery.com/product/forest-cart-tracks/ ). Some people will object to the tracks on the path and some will dislike the none contiguous aspect of the files. I chose these files as I felt they offered a solid road for forested and country roads. Once I establish urban setups, i will print paved roads but feel they have no place in the woods.
From the brown mud road...Painting the road was quite easy as it consisted in:
Prime camo brown
- Dry-brush progressively lighter shades of brown
- I chose to not adorn the tiles with tuffs so as to be able to use them in various areas and also for storage practicality.
