TERRAIN - More Fields

I have managed to finish another 3 fields. This time I have started to rebase my corn fields as storage in Shed HQ has not been kind to my fields based on vinyl floor tiles so I have decided to rebase them on MDF and make them a bit more interesting. Like Richard C commented on my last post the 6mm wargamer is sadly lacking in a lot of the little bits of terrain and battlefield debris that the 20mm and 28mm gamers have in bucket loads. However in 6mm you can 'get away' with things that in the larger scales would look wrong and they can add so much to the terrain. Simple things like the addition of some sheep or cattle from Irregular Miniatures can make a big difference. I have tried to get some 6mm horses to have in the fields but can only find horses with tack and harnesses or carrying loads, but I did pick up some 6mm Unicorns from Irregular again and I hope to use them (less horn).

But for now are three more fields finished.

One of the rebased corn fields on a bigger base with a couple of other fields. One with some more 6mm Irregular sheep.

Another rebased corn field with a ploughed field made using corrugated card from Hobbycraft. Need to add a scarecrow to this field I think.

A small field with a couple of bases of 6mm Irregular cattle

Next up a horse paddock using the 6mm Unicorns from Irregular and hopefully a new sports field to replace the original that appeared at the the very first Crisis Point which is a bit worse for wear now.

Thanks for looking.

TERRAIN - Fields

For the game in September I want to make the terrain even better than last years. One of the things I am working on is a large amount of fields as a lot of the area we will be fighting over is agricultural. My plan is to have fields around the edges of villages and towns to give the impression of an agricultural landscape without having to completely cover the table in fields. So first up are a couple of fields to show what they will look like.

Irregular Miniatures sheep graze in a small field.

I wanted to have some agricultural machinery but no-one makes a tractor in 6mm so I decided to use a WWII Russian Artillery Tractor which I picked up at WMMS in a box of GHQ stuff that was being sold to raise money for a Cancer Charity. With the addition of a GHQ trailer and a suitable looking bit from the Bits Box I think it looks ok as some sort of crop sprayer.

I've got a lot more in production, including rebasing my corn fields, and will post pictures soon. I will also post some pictures of a village with fields to give everyone an idea of what I am trying to achieve. As always thanks for looking.
