I thought I would put together a post about the terrain pieces I purchased at the Salute 2012  show in London This April.

I love wargaming, for years I pretty much exclusively played games workshop games, but  a few years ago I decided to branch out and look for other games systems. The thing that really caught my eye was Flames of war. A World War 2 15mm wargame made by Battlefront Miniatures. The thing that First drew me to the game was the terrain. I was so used to playing on pretty much a barren surface, with 3-4 buildings made from pringles tubes, yogurt pots and the odd games workshop building on it. That used to be fine, until I saw a FoW gaming table. It honestly blew me away. I had been living in my own little bubble for years, blindly thinking that “my” game was *best* and it didnt get any better than that. Oh how wrong I was.

In this post I am going to show you how I made some terrain pieces, in particular I am going to show you my 15mm river sections.

First, a bit of background into how I got into 15mm wargaming, and terrain making in general, you can skip past this bit if you like!

Hi, thanks for reading.

I’m currently making some terrain pieces for Flames of war, a 15mm world war 2 tabletop war game.

Unlike some lucky people, I’m limited for space, so all of the terrain I make is “modular” which means I can pack everything up into boxes for storage.
Modular terrain never looks as good as a static layout, which will always look more natural, and will flow a lot better.

This does however give the advantage that it can be repositioned into limitless layouts, which can be really handy for war games as every game is different, and playing on the same board would just get boring.
