Me too for the hexes! I like how you shifted the squares by using the small ones to break the pattern and it works great on walls, but hexed floor is something every wargamer treasures...

I was just looking for an excuse to share the Cobra video really, I'm not biased, except the hexes will require more precise placement than the squares will, any small gap will be noticeable.

sorry to disapoint all of you hex lovers...(hey that sounds weird???)
today i went on for the square tiles... and primed the floor and wall section of the "pit" with green cheap paint... the upper section i covered in PVA but it was a fail attempt... after everything is cured i need to get most of it off... i tried to add extra structure and detail by aplying thin strips of cardboard... but it all looks wrong... so it needed to came off... which left me with a mess... that will be fixed tomorrow... i then will probably go for the conrete look i usually do with diluted PVA and tissue... we´ll see what this will turn into...
i know hex would have been better... actually my wife now says too... but it is now irreversible... yeah... well...
dave raised here some very interesting facts... and based on this i also chose the square ones over the hex shaped ones...
hopefully this doesn´t cause too much loss of followers to this thread 
and childe... no one gets ignored
and dave... just love the many robot chicken movies!!!

Well I'm on the fence, tbh. I really liked the hex for all the trony goodness, but really like where you've gone with the square tiles. Yay, equivocator!

I like hexes and squares.

well... pear shaped...hmmm... pears are in essence green, yes?
then allow me to inruduce you to a serious dose of greeness....:
note, this time i used the automatic correction options of the dakka gallery as it looked more lifelike and way more wicked this way...
the plan is to add a thin line of yellow to white inside the creases/gaps between the square tiles... to have a nice energetic feel about the surfaces...
the upper section for the audience is just primed with the first color at hand at that moment then... so ignore the setup there completly... likewise if you have some ideas for this section...let them be heard
cheers, vik
