OK, so a while back I did some pretty decent (if I do say so myself) rules for the Emperor vs Horus and ran it at Dakka Con.

The only down side is I had to use 2D Star Wars tiles to represent Horus's flagship.

Then 2 years back I picked up a metric crapton of 3d corridors from a company called Creative Gamescapes. You can see my review here:

They're good products, not great, but quite good.

Then I moved to Trinidad and they went into the closet.

Well this week broke them out to do some work.

One frustration for me was the corridors were narrow (they can take up to a terminator but nothing bigger) and the sets did not have enough large rooms. I always knew if I ran Horus vs the Emperor again I'd need a suitably large throne room for Horus. So I built one!



The floor is thick plasticard with 2 of the Creative Gamescapes 1x1 tiles mounted below to give it a mating point for the other corridors. Then I added various grubbings (mostly from IMEX platformer and chemical plant kits). I tried not to go crazy since this is terrain and not a diorama, models need room to move. I may add a bit more to the walls but I think the floors have to be left mostly clear. I have some stand alone consoles I can always add to fill floor space.



And of course the evil throne from Storm of Magic.



I also created a 'grand corridor' with 2 of the 1x5 corridors and 2 of the 2x2 rooms. It took a few minutes of clipping and sanding but worked well. I may make one or 2 more.



Anyway my earlier recommendation for Creative Gamescapes still stands. I know we're now seeing an explosion of new terrain options thanks to Kick Starter, laser cutting and other new features but this is good stuff that works right out of the box and is easy to work with for making new rooms and pieces.

I think after this I may return to my Industrial Towers project.

Looking good Kid!!

Do you like to use Auto body primer in the spray can for resin bits?

There's no resin so um, no. It's all plastic though I should note the Creative Gamescape corridors don't take plastic cement well, they need superglue.

For paint I have Rustolium silver plastic which give them a nice gunmetal finish. Then I might do some brown ink or something but nothing too colorful. The models should be the start of the show not the terrain.

Nice work there Just a suggestion but would you consider adding a wall behind the throne, possibly with banners, and/or stained glass?

Today's progress was a few barricades to clog up corridors with rubble, barrels and barriers.







very happy with the rubble piles, lots of odd bitz in there. I need to make some more.



The barrels are barrels. Kind of a staple of video games so you gotta have them.

Way cool KK! Very nice!
