How to Make Rocky Terrain for Citadel Games
You know all the tabletop strategy games in the world today. Warhammer, Lord of the Rings, ect. Well nothing gives a better scenario than a good landscape, so if it's a game set in the far future (warhammer 40000?) a nice rocky moon would be great to play on.
[edit] Steps
- Get your hands on a sheet of wood, chipboard maybe? It will be the base, so make sure it is as big as you want the landscape to be.
- Collect all the ash after a large barbecue has been completely extinguished, and don't worry about all the leftover charcoal.
- Mix all your ash with PVA glue, and add water to thin it. When it is like a grey mush stop mixing and begin your scenery..
- Smear the mix all over your wooden board until it is completely covered, and leave to dry until rock solid.
[edit] Tips
- Add boulders if you like, a ball of aluminum foil covered in the mix is best.
- Buildings will also be a good addition, a space age martian city?
[edit] Warnings
- This is very messy! Best done outside.
- Be careful with barbecues, make sure it has cooled down before collecting the ash.
