For a few weeks I have been mulling over what to do with regards to making a playing surface that is specific to Frostgrave. What I wanted was something that looked good, quick & easy to construct, light & portable, inexpensive, quick to set up and easy to store away. Here is a full tutorial with loads of pictures of how I made this on my blog: link

I notice your miniatures have partially snowed bases, but there seems to be no snow on your scenery. Do you plan to do some winterizing? I am personally torn on this, I am not a fan of winter terrain and am not doing winter bases… but I may make some winter scatter terrain. Not sure yet. |

I won't be putting any snow effect scatter on the playing surface for two reasons, firstly the scatter would rub off and secondly the scatter would affect the placement of the buildings & ruins making the playing surface uneven. I will be making some snow drifts to scatter across the table top as well as putting snow & frost on any buildings I make. Also this does give me the option of using this same playing surface for other things such as dungeon crawling or any city area if I so choose at a later date. |

Yes, I think scatter is the way to go for exactly the reasons you have mentioned. |

Yes, some snow drifts, perhaps made from foam core board, would look nice. Grelber |

@Grelber, that is exactly what I was thinking! |

Posted over on your other topic as well … where do you get the borderless printed stone effect paper? |

Hi Guys, I had a couple of great games using the terrain today and absolutely loved using it. The first thing that came to mind was that the jointing strips could have been made using a different stone texture to make them look like roadways, so I will be making some of these tomorrow and trying them out. As for the stone texture, I got it from Wargames Vault for $1.00 USD US or around 67 pence in English money and well worth the price to say the least. Also part of the proceeds goes to a childrens hospital so well worth supporting. Here is a link to it: link |

Craft stores like Michaels sell pure white (as well as other interesting colours) sand, which you could put on the table and clean up later as you wished. |

Thanks for the reply. Didn't realize you printed it yourself. Was assuming it was a craft store product or something – that is what I have been looking for. However printable graphics give a nice flexibility. I may consider doing that. |

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. That is really thinking outside the box! |
