Flocked Hex Tiles--Custom Terrain for Heroscape

Another Heroscape terrain set. A couple years back, Heroscaper Grishnakh--a wellspring of infinite inspiration to me--created a Rise of the Valkyrie master set with flocked terrain instead of the green plastic tiles. Naturally, I couldn't help but take a crack at it myself, so without further ado I present to you our personal expanding set of Flocked Hex Tiles!

An Overview



Here's a closeup of the grass! It varies here and there due to irregularities in the glue. Just classic model train flock on elmers glue. Really gives it a more professional Table Top War-game feel to it and less of a Hasbro box game XD


Some rough terrain. I used some dead moss and crumbled leaves from a place we own up north to add some real-world dimension to the grassy areas. You can also sorta see the moss growing on the base of the ruins.


Here's a shot of the one sandy tile I completed. Definitely subject to change XD


A rocky tile. I was never a fan of Grishnakh's gravel field type of tile, so I created this one. There's gravel interspersed between the hexes, and the hexes themselves are just toilet paper and paper mache


Guilty McCreech takes pot-shots at some Marros


Drake gets mobbed by Marro swarms! I made a statue of Syvarris out of a spare Syvarris, a piece of pink insulation foam, and a spare glyph mounted on a single hex and appropriately painted. Not my favorite piece (made it a looooong time ago) but not terrible.



My two favorite squads line up and take aim at each other! ('murica)

And that's all! What do you think of the idea of flocked terrain? Does it hold up well against Grishnakh's original, or does it fall short?
