Frontier North Trading Post board
Starting point
I recently came to the conclusion that I really do need to sort out my own board for Star Wars Legion, so this project is simply about building up a decent 6’x3′ table with enough terrain to give a minimum of 1/4 coverage.
I wanted something that might work for other sci-fi games and didn’t want to go too specific on recreating a particular location. Then I came across the Ancient Starport STL Kickstarter by Multiverse. It is a nice set of Star Wars-esque buildings which fit the bill nicely.
Then before I got around to starting on the table, Multiverse ran another Kickstarter for a Repulsor land train. Immediately sold!
Now I needed a mat…..
Northland mat by Deepcut StudiosThis is the Northland mat by Deepcut Studios. It reminds me a little of the scenes in Andor while they are preparing for the heist on Aldhani.
It also gave me the idea to carry over the light/melting snow onto the buildings. I haven’t tried this before so it will be a new challenge for me!
The direction for the board is coming together. I am building towards a frontier Trading post where a supply train has stopped off, set in a cold hinterland environment. The train is going to be a substantial centre piece so the challenge will be picking features that work well around it.
