TOOLS NEEDED

Scenery plays an important role in creating a narrative for your battlefield environment. In No Quarter Magazine #36, we discussed how to make Iron Kingdoms-themed hills. This time around, we are going to cover linear obstacles.

Linear obstacles are a terrain element present on nearly every game table; they provide cover from ranged attacks and create physical boundaries in the landscape. Stone walls and hedges are very commonplace but become rather boring after a while and can even seem out of place in certain environments.

By modeling scenery and walls to match your army’s faction, you can give your gaming table a “home turf” feel. When friends come over, you can provide them with the experience of sending their forces to battle in the heart of the Protectorate of Menoth or the frozen northern lands of Khador.

PROTECTORATE WALLS
The architecture of the Protectorate of Menoth is built from sandstone and metal with brass and gold embellishments and adorned with braziers, censors, and Menofixes. By building walls that conform to these design aesthetics, you can create a battlefield with the distinct appearance of a Protectorate settlement. There are plenty of shields, staves, and scrolls in the Protectorate model range that can be used to add flare to your scenery.

Thick cardstock The Protectorate walls are designed to have ornamental segments with separate columns to form the end posts. Start by cutting strips of foam core 1˝ x 5˝ to form the walls. For the end columns, cut 1˝ pink insulation foam to a 1˝ x 1˝ x 1.5˝ sections.

This image shows the model parts used in these walls. The red highlighted portions should be clipped away so you are left with the flame pike tip, Consecrator mace head, the Menofix from the head of the Acolyte’s staff, and the ornate Menofix from the Paladin’s shield.

Press the top of the Consecrator mace into the foam block to create an impression. Then, cover the post with a thin layer of construction adhesive. Cover the exposed foam edges of the foam core walls with construction adhesive. Once the adhesive dries, you will be able to super glue parts without damaging the foam.

Lightly sand the dried construction adhesive to get rid of any bumps, but take care not to expose the covered foam. Here you can see the parts for the wall segments and the end posts.
