A Battlefield of Ice and Fire (3D Prints)

A Song of Ice and Fire TMG terrain, ASOIAF terrain STL 3d prints TwoRoads, hedges, walls, broken walls, palisades, cheval de frise

Another set of 3d prints today – in fact these are the first pieces of terrain I started with from the printer, and also the first ones I finished at the start of the month. I needed a bit of space to lay them out on the table for the photos and then some time to do the cropping and so forth, so here we are now!

I found these online on Thingiverse via Reddit from a designer names TwoRoads – I printed a couple of each type of wall, the palisades, and the two heights of hedges that I found in the set, using the mirror function to vary them a little. One set of walls I painted as what I thought of as “field stones” while the other is painted in more of the standard “grey granite bricks” style.

Both wall set come with an unbroken and a broken style. Since I’m not looking to cover a table with these walls I only printed two of each, mirroring for variety.

Two heights of hedges, so as noted, I again mirrored each of them and printed one of each of the now-four variations.

I did two of each of the palisades – not that they look particularly different. I didn’t vary the cheval de frise so that they would all “fit” together side-by-side. Painting all those ropes was a right pain in the arse, but the finished effect is certainly good enough to pass the tabletop-distance test.

Not actually having any ASOIAF TMG models painted when I took these photos, I used some of my Lord of the Rings/Middle Earth models in their stead, on the unit trays that we use for Kings of War.

Much nicer than the card templates, I’m sure you’ll agree! They’ll also work well as generic scenery pieces in any number of other games across a variety of genres.

You can see how these terrain pieces fit perfectly over the terrain templates to allow for units moving through them when needed.

While these would have been a shoo-in for Season of Scenery if I’d finished them in time, Dave has said that the War of the Five Kings may be suitable for the Apocalypse Me painting challenge of almost-over October – though they’re certainly an edge case!

oh, and on that note, I also printed these cute little research stations by LoKiki56 for the Board Game Pandemic as board game upgrades! I added a little extra paint to make them pop!

These four chests (or two versions of two chests?) were in the same container as the chests from Massive Darkness that I posted up yesterday. In a lot of ways, they really should have been posted in with the ones from yesterday – they were even painted in the same batches! They get their own post mostly because of the way I do post titles that help me keep track of various models that I’ve painted. So here we are – enjoy these rather insiginificant bits of dungeon decor.

I’ll just throw these in with the Massive Darkness ones. I painted a bunch of chests from Conan years ago as well it turns out. I should look for the container with those inside and combine it with these new ones! Let’s be real – there’s probably another batch from some other Kickstarter boardgame hidden in some alcove as well!
