Modular Gaming Tiles

I have a pile of 18 TTCombat tiles that I plan to combine with some ruined buildings to create a modular skirmish battle field and I want to design it so that I can put some MDF buildings from Carnevale over the ruins so that it can be used for that… and I want to use it for RPG’s.

The idea is that when playing the game and moving miniatures the buildings won’t get nudged around the table. And it will hopefully be easily stored as I have limited storage.

When I bought the TTCombat tiles I thought the surface was too smooth so I added a cork tile to each, primed it and used some Plastikote paint to give it texture. They are my base material. A couple have been modified to include water effect plastic. The tiles will need repriming and I’ll try to do a better paint job. Not all tiles will have ruins on them as you always need some open space on the battlefield.

The ruins and walls are are from number of sources and some will need cutting down to fit inside the buildings. They also need painting properly.

Because Carnevale takes place outdoors with buildings used to block line of sight and provide elevation, a number of the TTCombat Venice building have no floor… which makes them perfect to place over the ruins when the battle boards are used for urban settings. I don’t have a huge amount of floorless buildings, but the Carnevale kickstarter included some printed card buildings that I may use instead.

Below are images of some of the tiles, a selection of walls & ruins, sample buildings and the paint I used to texture the cork tiles.

Whether this project will ever complete is in doubt… as I’m not always good at completing things and not a great painter… but I’m setting this as goal for 2024.

Whether it qualifies as Dungeonalia, or not is up to the folk at Beasts. To me the important thing is trying.
