Here you can admire the excellent work in progress of the Andrea Pagni's hex battlefield. link Two aspects struck me when he sent me the photos. The excellent finish of hexagons and the feeling that the units are moving on the battlefield alone. Here this is a great example of what a area system can offer. However, as all projects, may not reach maturity, so I ask you to join me in encouraging the author to finish the good work |

Mr. Pagni has done an incredible job with those hexes! I'd never have thought of terraforming the individual hexes.

"However, as all projects, may not reach maturity" A true wargamer then….:) Very nice terrain indeed. |

Excellent in general, and specifically how the cracks between the hexes are so well hidden. |

They rank as some of the best terrain I have seen and definitely the best hexes. Having tried the GHQ Terrain Maker system I am concerned if the board will get done – the quality differs so much from pack to pack that no covering what so ever will make the gaps go. I do know another supplier link whose tiles look a better quality (I think these are the ones shown) but still dubious compared to Hexon. I'll watch this with interest – thanks for the link Andrew

Good work Andrew.
There are various ways to achieve a hex field. The hexagons separate offer the possibility, if done in a workmanlike manner, to recombine them in a thousand different ways each time giving birth to new battlefield. If you looking for in the blog you can also find other hex fields and others will put it in the future. The world is becoming increasingly hexagonal ;- ) |

that read beautifully. :) almost haiku like. |

Has anyone used hexon? They look denser than the GHQ styrofoam hexes so I take it you cannot cut into them, only build on. Do they take paint and PVA well? Increasingly I'm playing hex-based games and a hex mat is nice, but some sweet terrain might be a good project for 2012. |

Hexon II is "precision moulded in High Impact Polymer making them strong, tough and durable, at the same time light-weight. The textured upper surface provides good adhesion for most paints, adhesives and flocking materials"
link I recommend buying them ready flocked. More expensive but well worth it. |

Very nice work by Andrea, and also by Andrew! As for the terrain maker tiles, you can probably get more accurate tiles cut by a foam fabrication shop in your vicinity. To be truly cost effective, you'll need to buy a LOT of them, though. Andrew – did you do all of those grid lines just with the sculpting tool? Doug |
