Viewers of this rickety old blog may recall that I put up my 15mm Spanish Napoleonic army for sale, well sell it did and as I use this sort of funding to enhance my hobby I decided to indulge an itch as it were. So with a combination of never being 100% chuffed with my existing terrain and the fact that I wanted to replicate (in a much smaller way) my love of Mick's, one of my mates hex terrain table that he has built in his converted garage up in the wilds of Northumberland, I decided to spend some of the dosh on Kalistra
Here hex terrain.
I am very pleased with the result, it looks good and is of course extremely flexible allowing any set up you could wish for to be replicated. The company was very helpful and efficient even during these difficult times, the service was great so thanks to them.
Here are some pics so judge for yourselves:
Still painting up loads of 15mm FPW artillery and limbers, not exciting but necessary I'm afraid.

Your hex terrain looks fab, Dave!
ReplyDeleteThe terrain looks great Dave.
ReplyDeleteLooks marvellous - very envious!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking terrain and nice to treat yourself with the monies made from the sale.
ReplyDeleteAdding to the chorus: lovely looking terrain and figures; a huge tick for the aesthetic joy of wargaming!
ReplyDeleteLooks really, really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks lads, quite chuffed with the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteDave.
Looks good, somehow it doesn't look as bright green as mine. Judging from the photos you're not using the grid for movement? I think gridded movement is a great boon as it eliminates all those is it or isn't it in reach discussions. I look forward to seeing your FPW armies contesting this ground - whose figures (manufacturer) are they?
ReplyDeleteIt is slightly greener than I want but I will fix that with a bit of light blotching of brown paint, very careful though!. No your right this game is Pickett's Charge which doesn't need the grid but I will be using the hexes for a ACW set a mate of mine has developed plus To the Strongest on hexes instead of squares. The figures are Outpost. not bad and they do a full range.

Do you find the plastic clips for holding it together fiddly as I came with a much easier system in a piece I wrote for the now defunct online magazine 'The Wargamer's Notebook'. If I had your address I could send you a copy.
DeleteWonderful armies, terrain, hexes, and photos...Superb!
