While miniatures purchases always make my heart flutter, I am sometimes guilty of neglecting terrain and scenery. No matter how much time you invest in painting up your toy soldiers, how good will they look on a barren game mat devoid of scenery?
As previously mentioned, I managed to make it to the Claymore and Fall In wargaming conventions and I managed to make some purchases of scenery to enhance my wargaming tables. In between painting up batches of 10mm Saxon fyrd, I decided to tackle these scenery pieces I purchased at my last two conventions.
At Fall In, I picked up some 28mm rocky outcrops and shrubs from Monster Fight Club. Since I typically game in 15mm, 10mm and 6mm they will be used as mountains and wooded areas. Here you can see examples of these pieces with a base of 10mm Saxon fyrd so you have an idea of scale.
Next up are some islands and castles from Iron Gate Scenery. These were picked up at Claymore and carefully packaged up in my checked luggage. I anticipate using these for Man O' War which is what imagine they were designed for. They will probably be used for other naval games to include my renaissance galleys and maybe even my 1/3000 pre-dreadnought fleets. In this picture, a 1/3000 French ship of the line sails past to give you an idea of their size.
Some great scenery. I saw the Irongate islands at Warfare the other week. They are brilliant especially as they sold them pre-painted. They do sell some fantastic bits and bobs!
