From: PaulS - Highway to... somewhere? (90 points)

As you saw in the last update, I've been making modular tables during lockdown as it's been fun creating little vignettes on a single hex to drop into tables. In February I have a 7TV event coming up and challenged myself to take two complete setups with me for people to use. The first was the swamp you saw, the next one is a fantasy(ish) village that has... well. I'll leave that for a later one for a surprise. One of the things I wanted for the layout is a wide country road that would allow carts to go side by side, rather than the thin footpath that was through the swamp. So that's what this lot make when they are laid out properly. There are enough road tiles to do a wide road across a 3x3 layout, which pleases me. There are also some additional grass and mud tiles to flesh out the rest of the table layout.

Scale figure this year is a GW ghoul so you can see how large one of the hexes is. Each hex is a 3d printed ridged plate that fits into a riser to form a modular gaming table. This makes for really easy additions to the table and easy storage/transport of basic tiles. Each hex is then treated with various basing techniques scaled up a bit and industrialised for batch creation. Each ridge and scuff of the mud is carefully sculpted to give that perfect earthen effect... or not.

Out the back you can see the graveyard that was build about a year ago. There are some extensions to this for later in the challenge so we'll come back to that later!

And this is the layout that I'm working on for the event. The road and grass tiles can be seen just to the right of the first house. The three houses on the right need painting/basing over the next couple of weeks, along with making all of the missing/blank hexes. This needs to be finished by the 4th of Feb... so there's a bit of work to do... wish me luck! The below photo is from before I finished the other half of the roads to take it all the way across, but the photo above shows the full road in all it's glory

Each hex is 86x100mm. There are 22 tiles to add, 19 are roads, 3 are grassland/grazing. Scoring depends on how you want to lay them out. After a debate on Facebook with some of the Minions, I decided to follow PeteD's decision (rather than AdamC's grab as many points as you can!), which was that it should be if they are laid out for use, rather than put away. If I put them out in the most compressed form (rather than Adam's gaming the system and laying them all end to end, for a 96x4 inch layout) it comes out as a more reasonable 19x16 inches... so that's just over 9 cubes (180 points), but they are flat and pretty basic, so I'll go for 90 points please! Feel free to downgrade if that seems ridiculous!

Oh boy , i may need to call on a mathemagician - the minions favouraite how much is this terrain worth ploy eh... I am happy tp go with the general minion consensus as per the FB chat - so its 90 points on hexagonal goodness!
