Terrain ?

By Garhelm, in Star Wars: Legion

So two questions

1) will there be officially FF terrain for legion or will it be for 3rd parties to make it ?

2) if you could have any battle field from star wars what would you have ? (I think hoth is probably going to be cool to do a board for :) )

FFG will most likely not make terrain, so far it will be mike other miniatures games where you must make it yourself.

I personally want to make an endor map; (If I could have a legion of stormtroopers, scout troopers, and officers plus the at-st, that would be awesome, just like in ep. 6) Does anyone know how to make the bunker?

Apparently the starter kit comes with 8 barricades to use for cover. It seems reasonable to assume they'll make more or at the very least make the barricades available to buy outside of the starter kit.

I would love to see a really well done Coruscant map with neon signs, bridge walkways and multiple levels.

I read an interview where they stated they will release terrain though they did not get specific at all.

There's a multitude of Facebook groups about terrain, and some specifically about Legion terrain. Go nuts.

There's also sites selling printable 3d files and printed pieces already.

A 3x6' FAT Mat which I purchased from a eStore in northern Australia and a whole mess of stuff that I found YouTube videos for. I have ordered a Woodland Scenics rock mold which I'll use to add a few templates with some hard cover.

I also have an old X-Wing model that is a 1:72 scale, about 50% smaller than it should be. I think I may paint it up in a bronze effect and make it a "statue" of sorts.

BTW: That SculptaMold stuff is freakin' awesome, its basically paper pieces in a powder that turns to glue when you apply water. It is lightweight and strong, which makes it much better than anything I have tried previously.

I've done a ton of Hoth terrain lately. I'm trying to make all my pieces modular though, so I can rearrange them to be other snowy worlds as well. So that means I can be anything from Hoth, to Alderaan's Mountains, to Starkiller Base... or possibly even Crait maybe? Though I'm not really thinking Crait very much.

Here's a lot of my Hoth Terrain.

Your terrain doesn't really work for crait. That is salt not snow.

Don't forget Ilum :)

Right - but it's white. My playmat is almost completely white - and while I think that it COULD work... I probably wouldn't want to do a straight up flat battle... (Unless I had like crashed AT-M6's and various other 1st order ground vehicle debris).

If anyone is doing an endor bunker, I would love some inspiration!

There is a template somewhere for them. Print and trace on foam bard. ..voila

Here's a link to a topic I posted last month of some scatter terrain I made for SW: Legion.

I have been working on a Lah'mu board (the planet where the erso family was hiding out at the beginning of rogue 1) but I am seriously considering switching to lothal. I found a great method for making tall grass that would do great for the lothal grass lands.

Finish one? Then start the other? ?

Maybe. I am having some trouble with the soil color for Lah'mu. It is a rich dark soil and everything I have tried so far ends up looking like wet mud or just black.

I have just completed an Endor Table complete with bunker. I don’t have pics that I can share (maxed out my sharing capabilities for the site), but maybe some could post one for you.

I’ve seen your board on Facebook and YouTube. Amazing and impressive.

Here is a bunker I started. I haven't found the time to finish it yet.

I’m inclined to think normal sand with a black wash? Or possibly I’ve seen asphalt/tarmac style sand in my local hobby shop before. Hard to make black sand not just look black.

This looks amazing! How did you do it? Was it just cardboard?

Got it to work.

It's foam board and chip board. I used the grid paper to get all my measurements and angles right.
