Building Club Terrain: Cambridge Sons of War

A selection of new, WIP terrain pieces expanding the club collection
Just over 1 week to go til the launch of our very own gaming club in Cambridge. As a reminder, it's opening night is the 26th October at the 28th Scout Hut, Flamsteed Rd, Cambridge CB1 3QU, doors open 6pm.
Check the post HERE for more details.. as well as the page on the top bar of the blog...

Anyway, one of the most important factors for me when launching this club is to make sure that the gaming experience is absolutely spot on.

We have the largest number of gaming tables up and running compared to anywhere currently active in Cambridge!!
Before the doors open we have 9 gaming tables.
This will only ever get bigger.
We WILL build more tables.
The aim by the end of the first year is to double that number and have 18 gaming tables ready to roll.
Yes, large foam cocks are funny..
The venue is ready for us, we just need the people. So this part of the experience is ready..

Build it and they will come.

A critical part of the gaming experience is the terrain.
Too little and the games cannot be played correctly.
Too shitty and no one enjoys it...egg boxes are NOT terrain. Yes, I went to a independent club that had shoddily painted egg boxes as terrain.

Surprisingly, there were only 6 people there and I never went back. I'm not slating that club, merely stating it was not for me.

So one of our main missions is to create good quality, durable terrain in large quantities.
So far, we have increased our terrain collection to include 2 boards worth of pink foam hills and rocky outcrops, built a half dozen more 40k plastic ruins and began experimenting with foamboard...

Lets have a look:
