Dungeon Tiles

I'm not sure if someone posted about these earlier or not:

Dungeon Tiles
http://dxcontent.com/DT_FAQ.html

Basically they're flat tiles for laying out your dungeon. I know we've talked about your classic Dwarven Forge-style pieces as well, but what I like about these is that they're flat ... and thus would be easier to store than Dwarven Forge. Don't get me wrong -- the DF stuff looks great, but space is at a premium. At a glance, these kind of tiles can give you that nice dungeon feel without forcing me to box up half the game room in order to have space to store them.

If you want to try this concept out, I could cast up a few...

Ditto Damon. It looks like he's using Hirst Arts 'Cracked Stone Tile' as the base mold for his floor terrain. I have this in my terrain building arsenal, as well as a few other floor types: cobblestone, fieldstone, and cavern floor. We can cast up some samples like a geeky salesman and bring them to the next gaming night.

I have the fieldstone set...as well as the SF set as well. What are you using for casting material? I have both conventional PLaster as well as Hydrocal. I also used Durham's, but that never cured properly still in the mold, and took a long time to cure to the point where I could de-mold. If we coordiinate paint colors and techniques, we can churn a bunch out in no time!

These look really great, and seem to be a great stackable alternative to dungeon tiles.

Now, we just need molds for Space Hulk rooms and corridors... </boner>

These do look very cool. I have no fabrication skills or materials but if Damon and Tom want to go nuts, then ... er, ... go nuts!

I've been casting in Veri-Die and Hydrocal or Hydrostone (whichever I picked up at Blick), but still have some Durham's left over. I already have enough fieldstone floor pieces cast, painted, and assembled in 2x2, 4x4, etc. to lay out a basic floor, but the more the merrier. Paint scheme was basic dungeon gray with mixes of black and white: charcoal base for cracks and lows, medium grey for 1st coat/major texture, light grey to white for highlight. Pretty much straight off the Hirst Arts forum. I'll link a photo or some such later.

With the Sci Fi set Damon, you can address Lance's boner...er...savage excitement for space hulk terrain.

"NERD?"

I seem to remember being called that...before I ascended.
