My Modular Space Hulk Tiles WIP

[Miniman.hu]

Hi!

I\'ve started to plan my own building system for the buildings of the far future...

The system is only in virtual space yet, but I\'m planning to make it real.

The elements will be compatible with GW\'s Cities of the Death buildings.

First, you can see some Space Hulk tiles which were made using my own buliding system\'s elements. So these are the first tests of my system.

On the second collage you can see the first two missions of Space Hulk.

Cheers

Very cool. The only problem I can see is actual practicallity of use. The problem with 3D dungeons of this sort is that you have line of sight problems between the players and the minis.

I did a ton of work making walls for a D&D game only to take them all down after the first encounter because the players had too hard a time seeing the minis (I play on an 8x4 table so the middle is a bit hard to see over). What I found worked better is something with half height walls, and only having 3d elements for objects that block line of site (like in the orginal Space Hulk - the doors).

Sure this looks great but is it practical?

very cool. I think the original game was on printed cardboard tiles (?). Those angled support pieces in the floor look cool, but may interfere with game play as well.

I agree on the half-height walls as well. If you have minis that hang over their bases, it gets more diffucult to position them if they are banging into the walls all the time.

Another thought!

Make sure they are big enough to fit the new terminator base size (well not that new, but new since Space Hulk).

I got Assault on Black Reach and was all geeked to use the new Terminators that came with it in Space Hulk (yes I still play the original) only to find they don\'t actully fit on the original tiles (Cardboard as Airhead mentioned).

Hi,

Thanks for your c&c!

My system will have half size elements too, so it can be bulit in that way. It will be your own decision, how tall you build the walls.
(The floor already shows half size elements items.)

And now I\'m going to show a picture to see the sizes of the new genestealers (on 25mm base) and the new terminators (on 40mm base). (Remember the walls have the same size as the cities of death panels.)

Cheers
