My new wargame terrain tile! Very pic Heavy!

CLICK TO ENLARGE

I made 1 foot Terrain tile with Crescent Cliff (for sci-fi and fantasy).
Made with cork tile glued to custom cutted MDF. The result: hard to damage, lightweight, dont warp!

Grass is Hornby green grass flock with mix of 4 types of Wodland Scenic flock. Bushes are Woodland Scenic. Cliff was made from insulation foam and painted with cheap acrylics. (Main colour is grey, heavy drubrush of light grey, light drybrush of white)

I placed some 15mm minis and rebased model rail fir trees for measurement purposes.

Some details of board:

)

More Civilians

C09 Mounted Boer from Battleline Miniatures "Zulu War" range.


Irregular Miniatures "FZ117 Western Civilian Gentleman", "FZ118 Western Civilian Lady" and between them "JR02 Piper" from Battleline miniatures "18th Century - Jacobite Highlanders" range. There are at least 4 variants of Irregular civilians, so I am going to order rest of them.


Irregular Miniatures "FZ121 Arab Civilian" and "FZ25 Dervish Infantry with musket" painted as Afghan tribesman. Figures from "Colonial" range. I know that there are at least 5 variants of Eastern civilians. I found rest 4 variants here:


New samples


I've painted some 15mm Irregular Miniatures minis from Peasants (http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/15mmRanges/15mmPeasants.htm) and American Indians (http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/15mmRanges/15mmamerind.htm) ranges.

From left to right John Langstaff, PI35 Cowboy or Settler on foot, Pastor Humphries. Really good figures. Knowing that Irregulars have several variants for their figures, I am going to order more variants of these.


And here is a photo of rebased gorillas from 15mm.co.uk
