Hi all,

I'm building my first table, it'll be a 6x4 for 40k.

I'll be using a moulded battlemat from Zuzzy http://www.zuzzy.com/2013/09/the-wounded-city-broken-blacktop-gaming.html

One end I want to be Bastions and ADLs, the other I would like an Autumn forest to match my current basing scheme.

The scheme uses Secret Weapon Autumn leaves with realistic snow atop black rocks.


After a few days googling, I haven't found anything that is the right size and with a decent webstore (many railway supplie shops use catalogues).

I'm in Melbourne AUS and will get to a railway store at some stage, though they are a fair distance away.

In the meantime, can anyone recommend a place that has Austumn trees around the 20 cm range?

(I was thinking of using bare trees and glueing leaves on, but this will probably look pretty poor).

Much thanks

That is ~10cm, but I am assuming you saw that.

If you can find 20cm trees, you could always spray them.

Damn, spraying trees is actually a really good approach, I feel a bit silly for not thinking of it...

10cm is way too small IMO for 40k

Green 20cm trees are plentiful though! Cheers!
