Here is the terrain all laid out in my drive way

First is a shot of the base panels. I made these so I can layout on various tables and know I will have enough surface area. The 1-gallon paint can is for scale

Here is the terrain without the damaged sections.

Here are a couple of views of the damaged sections

That's fantastic. You and your players are going to have a great game.

Here is a link to a video I took

Its a sort of flying bug's eye view of the set up.

Comments?

Should I cover the basic panels with this

product?

Kinds pricey and I'd need several but it would show the ground covered in crushed hive dust.

Also, should I break the big hive fragments into smaller and more chaotic sections?

Instead of buying the mat, flip your panels over after you buy a gallon each of red, orange, and yellow tempra paint.

Then get naked, roll in the paint, then roll over the tiles … or whatever your preferred method is. If you had a splatter area, you could probably do a Jackson Pollock imitation.

I think fragmenting the big fallen sections would work well.

As I have done with so many other steps in this project should I document it with photos?

Spray cans and rags/paper cut-outs to mask?

I would skip documenting any rolling naked in paint and then your terrain. That sort of thing is best implied and left to the imagination.

But otherwise – yes.

JoAnn Fabrics has felt in a desert color. I have used it for many games. It is 6 feet wide and can be cut to any length needed. Also, JoAnn often has discount coupons online.
