I was wondering if anybody could provide me with images of a desert terrain, any ideas as to what I should add into a battlefield, or some how-to's. Any help would be much appreciated.

I made these with cork and a hot glue gun. Just change the color of the paint to tan or sand color and you have some decent buildings for a desert environ.

For the wood flooring, a big bag of squared-end craftsticks was $2 something at my local wal-marts craft section. Use a wash for weathering: I suggest brown but I had to use black for lack of brown...

Thanks FoxPhoenix, I need more ideas, how-to's, or pics of somebodies game board.

google image search. I almost get sick of telling people that. Google is your friend.

I haven't finsihed them, but I've always liked desert spires.

OOoooOOOOooOOO Those are pretty sweet looking! Howd you make those? Foam insulation stacked on top on each other?

Check the pet stores for terrain too. If you've got more money than I do, you could by all kinds of stuff. Personally though, I just wait for stuff to go on sale, especially clearance. Just picked up some desert rock features that normally cost $20+ for $5-8 each, as well as a couple of bonsai/bamboo fish tank sets that go for $30 for $10 each. Still costs more than doing it yourself, but it's much easier and it looks cool.

Yes.

Ooooo Jabba your desert pillars are brilliant!

Seconded. truely something extra.

That's all some nice terrain, it gave me some good ideas. My friend and I made some nice stuff, which I can't show to you because I lack a camera. Does anybody have any other suggestions or pictures of what they've made?
