Make a TEXTURED Fantasy Battle Mat (for Tabletop Wargaming)

I made a text RPG:

After making the Sci-Fi battlemat, I wanted to apply what I learned and try my hand at making a fantasy themed medieval village battle mat as well.

This type of mat fits a wide range of RPGs and Wargames that can be set in a historic or medieval setting, and the style fits different scales of gaming too, such as 28mm or more epic scale 10mm games.

Using similar techniques and lessons learned, I blended together EVA foam, Acrylic Caulking and Scenic Flocking.

The layout of the map is based on the village of Hommlet from 1st edition DnD.

I was really impressed with the flock from Geek Gaming Scenics in this project. So if you’re looking to get some, this is the best quality stuff out there. https://www.geekgamingusa.com

I promise I won't turn you into flock, like I did to Ryan.
