BUA Terrain

Some years ago when we were playing quite a few games of Bloody Big Battles, I knocked up some quick test pieces to represent the BUA's needed for the game. They were OK, but I was never really that happy with them. A week or so ago I stumbled upon them and thought that with a bit of tweaking they would be really useful for me BKCII campaign that I'm currently running. So after a few evenings of the odd hours spent here and there they were finished and ready to go.

For those that are interested:

• The bases are all 2mm mdf and are 3" square (75mm).
• The buildings are all from Leven Miniatures.
• The broken stone walls in the damaged BUA are made of cork coasters, about 2mm thick.
• The bases were covered with railway base mats that come with a 'flock' already attached. Additional flock and foliage were added as required.
• The fence is plastic HO/OO stock that I had left over from when I played in 15mm and was simply cut down to a more suitable height for 10mm figures.
• The stone wall is from Commission Figurines and is laser cut mdf (and very nice it is too).
• The old enameled sign is from a rang of posters for 28mm that I was given years ago by a friend, pre good quality printers I might add. Nowadays just go online and select what you want and print it out. It was stuck to some 0.5mm card, then I distressed the edges, added some holes and then bent it to suit the terrain it was to sit upon. Areas were painted to look like rust and then when dry, some gloss lacquer was applied to give it a nice sheen.

The row of houses with Pendraken 10mm miniatures in front to give an idea of scale.

I'm really happy with how the enameled sign came out.

The Leven Miniatures buildings are removable so that I can put a unit in it's place to show it's in the building.

The Commission Figurines mdf wall come up a treat, even with a quick and simple paint job.

I really enjoyed adding some extra details to these and am very happy with the result. I have plenty more ideas for this sort of stuff, but really should spend more time painting figures rather than terrain, but I do enjoy scratch building too much!

Well I hope you liked these and that they might give you some ideas for your own terrain etc. So until next time stay safe and keep healthy!
