The 42" x 60" would be pretty cool for Malifaux. And the size is easy to cut down to 3 x 3

Texture work in progress on the Rake's Corner Map.

Just bought the ruins bundle for mordheim and bought some spray glue from my local DIY store.

I'm wanting to make the structure more sturdy so is cardboard ok to glue my prints to?

I did read that cardboards no good for PVA but the spray glue should be ok ?

What you could do instead is buy full sheet labels from an office supply store, and then print your things on that, then you just stick it onto the cardboard or whatever you're using for a backboard.

Dave, any plans to do something more like a muddy dirt road kind of tile pack? something good for westerns?

Would be a great idea except I've already printed 50 pages worth onto the recommended paper thickness! :-)

Should be. My thinking on this is that it's just paper and glue. Experiment a little bit with different types to find what works best. For applying sheets to cardboard, I'd probably start out with a repositionable spray glue from 3M, or whatever's handy, really. Check the directions and recommend materials, and that should set you up just fine.

That's a good idea. We'll see what happens.

I've released a new map! And here it is...




This large printable map is a beautiful surface for building the seedy side of a medieval town, Victorian neighborhood or steampunk metropolis. It's easy to print in one piece at your local shop, or in sections on your desktop printer. An optional 1-inch grid is included, and this map is tileable in the sense that you can choose any section and it will "wrap" around to the opposite side. That means you can start with any section you like and expand it from there, and with a little bit of planning it's possible get several unique 36"x36" maps from this one kit.

You'll need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 or later in order to use these files.



The full map is 48x80 inches / 122x203cm. You can print off individual sections as well, fitted onto both A4 and US letter size sheets for your convenience. (The optional grid is set up as 1 inch squares, and is perfectly suited for RPGs and wargames that use a 1 inch = 5 foot scale (28mm/30mm), and you can always adjust the printed size to virtually any gaming scale).

Is there a "remove the bridges" option for the Rake's Corner Map?

There are no optional graphics on this one. But it's an 80" long map, and the edges are designed to "wrap" so you could avoid the 4" or 5" section containing the canal and still end up with a 75" long continuous map.

I really love these buildings, but I'd also like to see a downloadable pack of wagons, crates, barrels, and other scenery pieces to add to the effect.

I do offer a few sets like that (Abandoned Wagon; Cargo Bales; Wooden Barrels). Many of my models include some extra crates -- so many that I don't need to offer a separate set of crates.
