Sprue Whispering

It has been a long time since I made any real post about my efforts on Zone Mortalis. A lot of this is due to working on too many projects and not quite having good enough modelling options to rival the ForgeWorld originals. Mantic Battlezone Scenery is a fantastic alternate to the ForgeWorld Zone Mortalis boards, but they lacked a certain internal detailing that really brought character to the board. Well, that as until the made the Industrial Quadrant available for pre-order . When you combine this set with the traditional Battlezones Quadrant, you should be able to make a sufficiently nice enough and modular Zone Mortalis board, if you pair it with an Industrial FAT mat. I think I will actually get off my back-side and start working on this ... well maybe after I finish up a few of my current projects <cough cough>.

In 1989 Games Workshop published Space Hulk. Over the many years since there has been various iterations including the most recent 2014 publication. In 2012 Forgeworld released the Zone Mortalis Appendix, as part of "The Horus Heresy Series".  Book One: Betrayal, by Alan Bligh, contained details of how to run missions, boarding actions, fighting campaigns in cramped Starships or hive basement cities. With this release Forgeworld also released a resin modular campaign board - Zone Mortalis. individually the board sections are expensive. A full set up is even more so. Each section is made up of four fixed board sections, a full set up is effectively 4 x sections, or 16 individual pieces.    Now the more thrift minded, or hobby obsessed often stop and take a good look at what it is they are getting for their money. In addition to this, they work out if they can make it themselves ? It would be an awesome project, keep them going for quite...
