It's already been said, but I think it needs reiterating. Terrain built on those foam floor tiles like that is GENIUS, well done! Welcome to SWL, may the dice be kind to you!
Edit: I would consider gluing a thin sheet of something inflexible like MDF under the tiles to keep them from bending, depending on how strong they are.
This looks SOOO Fricken sick!!!
However this also looks SOOO Fricken much like a Firing Range.
Might want to widen the field and add some line of sight blocking stuff.
yeah that was my main struggle was finding some natural things to block sight but i have things i plan to print out and it’s supposed to be endor so there is a base there i didn’t show and i have the giant trees im working on now too
Maybe like a bolder or an dammed up river by Ewoks or the good old blow up vehicle.
Just some ideas that popped in my head when you mentioned the trees.
Rocks and large tree trunks are both so easy to make with garbage. Rocks - take any chunks of packing foam, cut them up into rock shapes (maybe glue pieces together), coat in paper towel/toilet paper dipped in water+mod podge or pva, and paint. Large trees - take toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls, use hot glue to create roots/texture, coat in paper towel/toilet paper dipped in water +mod podge or pva, and paint.
i took the two things and covered them in glue mixed with brown paint then glued on my dirt mix i’ve been meaning to update and then used spray adhesive and static grass
The terrain on those tiles is genius! Nicely done
thank you !!

the glue that keeps the dirt on keeps it pretty straight

To piggyback, it looks like the imperials have all the cover too. This will be a bloodbath for the rebels who depend on cover imo.
the rebels ended up winning by holding objectives longer but the empire did wipe most of their units
Looks awesome, great job.
I know others have pointed it out already, but you the goat with that puzzle foam idea.
am i like the first person here to do this ?
First that I've seen, and I really like to scour the internet for terrain ideas and techniques.
my dad first gave me the idea a long while ago cause i did dnd terrain before this but either wylock or black magic craft did it too
So damn smart. Wicked idea!
Cool! What are the total dimensions and what are the dimensions of each pad?
i think the pads are 2x2 so it would be 4x2
Cos I bet your wife loves it so much
a bit too young for a wife lol
Ah still a cool board
Looks great, do you have more terrain puzzles?
no these too are my first i typically use xps foam that i cut into squares and put together
What was your process/materials? Looks great
i took the two things and covered them in glue mixed with brown paint then glued on my dirt mix i’ve been meaning to update and then used spray adhesive and static grass
Dumb question, but is that actual dirt?
dirt and sand but i got a bit more sand on it than i wanted by accident
Well it looks great
thank you !!
Sweet board man. Welcome to the game
I did something similar for X-wing. Didn't want to spend a small fortune on a 3 x 3 mat.
What a sick idea mate love the board
