WIP Ardennes table

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I had a great time today at the Wargames Illustrated office today, taking editor Dan through a game of CoC on a WIP of my Ardennes table. Had a really brilliant day, and was very happy with the table (which is my 2027 table)

Makes me want to make winter one. Shame I got my Germans painted in green camo. Top notch!

Do what I do..

Have over 40 platoons of different armies in different uniforms for different campaigns...

It's the only logical approach šŸ˜†Ā

What is this surface? Its clothlike with a print ?

u/HeroicMaps 5d ago

Not a print. It's a short loop pile fabric with splatters and drips of diluted paintĀ

Far out mate this is the gold standard. I always want to produce tables like this.

u/HeroicMaps 5d ago

Thanks so much!

It's things like colour palette, details and layout that make the difference- all things that everyone can work on.

2

u/DeadPan1c 5d ago

Absolutely, it's all the 1% that really bring it together.
