Years ago I picked up a lot of resin terrain pieces. These were made for All is Quiet on the Martian Front. They will be fine for a firebase against the Hive as well. Somehow I don't have any corner pieces, so I'll have to figure that out. I used the "dip" method. It worked really well and quickly with these pieces.

I have to make turrets for the large bunkers. I have to decide on the caliber of weapon. The good thing is that I can keep the turrets detachable and change out weapons for different nations. Something Krupp for their customers. 5 inch rifles or 7 inch siege howitzers for the US. Lots of period options!

Looks like plenty of options, and congrats!

You dont need corner pieces, just a 15 foot table.

I was hoping for a 30 foot square on the floor!

Corner pieces are impressive in sawtooth layouts.

I know it's hard to bring yourself to do, but straight pieces can be cut at 45 degree angles, reversing one, and getting that corner.

Plus I also wanted to do a fire base sort of set up, so I'd need corners to do that

*ahem*

Woke at 5AM this morning, yelling at myself 'you can't just cut ONE piece to make the corner!'

Obviously, if it were a board, you could cut and FLIP one section, but flipping doesn't work here.

Merde, that was percolating away in my subconscious…

I found a bunch of 45 degree angle pieces from the same manufacturer. You may sleep well

just to make sure you feel OK and sleep through the night
