once again, I think this is an outstanding terrain table.

Great job! Now kick those Normal outlanders back to France where they belong.

That looks excellent. I hope it goes well!

Very, very pretty! Have you considered a VERY light flocking… like, just a sprinkle… when you are set up? It might make the already-barely-noticeable joint lines totally invisible? Love the trees… fall trees on game tables are underappreciated!

That is the plan to cover any remaining trace.

a amazing table. Congrats

Nice.. How large is the table?

Dervel Fezian28 Jun 2018 5:12 a.m. PST

Nice.. How large is the table?


My table is 5'X10". The Hastings modules are 4'X10'.


I designed them to be 4' because that is pretty much the standard depth for a Triumph battle in this size and scale. Plus it allows people to reach the center. It is slightly shorter that than the standard 12' length because it fits my table and this battle does not need the additional 2 feet on the ends. The flanks are secured by the terrain.

Very nice. I'll need to stop over and see it that Saturday.
