Misty Mountain Terrain Board For Oldhammer Skirmish

I just finished my 3 foot square Misty Mountain terrain board.
Its just a test piece, but I think it turned out pretty good.

I know the Shire campaign isnt over yet, but I thought I would show off the start of the terrain boards for the next theater of operations of my Imagi-Nations Middle Earth.

Terrain materials: dense styrofoam, cork bark, talus of varying grades.
The lands to the west of the Misty Mountains (Shire, Eriador, Bree, etc) are green, lush and pretty well tended.
In contrast I want the lands to the east (Rhovanion, Mirkwood, Gladden Fields) to be more rocky, grey, and wild.

Sparse foliage and reeds.
I wanted the rocks to have a blue tinge to keep an otherworldy look to it.

Since you do a lot of really cool looking rock terrain, maybe have a look at this method: YouTube link

It could save time on exacto blading. Anyway lets see how the Shire's doing, then back to Moria.

Crazyivanov,

Thanks for that vid. I will look into trying that next time.
The xacto cutting technique was indeed time consuming, and oddly therapeutic, but also probably (needlessly) dangerous.

And yup, you got it. The Shire is going to wrap up soon, we will see Moria again. Then in the new year, the Misty Mountains and the lands east of it.

Very nice boatd. Thank you
