Modular dungeon w.i.p

Thanks, all of you!

I have done some more work on the prison-module, there is now a grate over the manhole and one of the cells has a barred door. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of it. I did however tke photos of my latest module.



Tadaa! One of the tunnels is designed to fit perfectly with FKSNs sewer.

We now have nine pieces (almost) finished. Yesterday I brought them along to an open house games day at a local club and tried them out with Mordheim for the first time. It was awesome!




The map was randomly generated. Whenever a model reached the edge of a module, we would randomly select one of the remaining pieces and place it on the table.

I see new pieces!
I see more cell doors!

I see a distinct lack of clutter, details, debris and visual clues as to the purpose of most of these spaces though!
Let's do something about that

( really need to repaint those rusty bits on my sewer piece.. they stick out like a sore thumb. They'll probably feel more at home if they match the tank thing in the corner)

LOOKS TERRIFIC...just lacks some action photos.

This is super nice, and it really is a great inspiration, at least for me! I sure would love to play some in it

I'll second that, it must have made for a sweet game. Awesome terrain! Fantastic job... now do some more!

Wow, what a nice terrain to play on! It looks terrific, really inspiring! But as some of the others allready said, it lacks some clutter and debris, unless those undreground pieces do have someone to clean up after a while ( thinking about those " cleaners " from Into the labyrinth, ! , keep on posting, regards, floedebolle

The dungeons look really good and look like they will make for some really interesting games. The dry brushed cobbles in the jail block looks especially good.

Have you thought about making some small tunnels to connect the large rooms? You could build some 2-4" wide tunnels in various lengths to connect all of the tunnels (ala Space Hulk). This would allow you to have some tight corridors that take up less space and to increase your playing area without increasing storage too much.

Looks great. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your encouragement!

Deafnalia: Actually those ARE action photos, taken in the middle of a game. If you look carefully, you can see some blurry minis in there somewhere.

Tintin: Well, you will get your chance in two months!

smokezombie: Oh, it plays very well. Sometimes when you build an awesome terrain piece you find out that it simply does not work very well in games, but these do! And as for me building more, see below

floedbolle: In the following images I have added some crates from our regular Mordheim terrain. Looks a bit more cluttered now, doesn´t it?

Narcissus: We won´t really need to increase the playing area as we are close to a fullsized Mordheim table now (120x120cm). But I will take into consideration.

Anyway, onto some pictures of new stuff!



First we have a sewer end piece.



And here is a w.i.p of a dark underground temple of some sort. there will be a removable statue of some kind blocking one of the openings, and more barred fences in the completed piece.


Here are all of the pieces toghether, with some random debris from our Mordheim box.

Again, fantasic work! And yes , just the little details on the foor makes a big difference! But i thought more about things that lay around, foe example spare and rusted pieces of weapons, armour, buckets, lanterns, mushrooms, dungheaps, earthmounts, dead bodys, skelletons, small underground lichens on the walls, ok, now is stop, i think you know what i mean. It always helped my terrainpieces to come " to live ", but thats again my opinion, take the best leave the rest, great work, floedebolle

Love the modular peices, I built some too and will be uploading soon. I really like the sewer systems!! awesome...I am so stealing that idea.

Great work.

Very nice dungeon! Do you wanna sell it?

Inspirational! I've always wanted to make something like that, a mix between underground caverns and man-dug out dungeons. This is awesome, and since my Gameboard is based on 30x30xm tiles anyway...

Go for it

It was a while I was home. I've almost forgotten how cool the dungeon looks. Damn it, I got to get myself together and contribute the this project! But when it comes to building terrain and models there is always to much to do and to little time

Hehe. I've been lurking around a little in the forum and I can sat that dungeon/underground terrains seem to the the new thing!

Just to let you pepple now: Harry Mason has made all of the pieces except like two. And he has made them in at an incredible speed.

Great job, HarryMason! A very impressive and good-looking set-up.

I too might borrow some ideas for my own underground tunnel system.

Ohoy!

I got to play on this fabulous modular gaming table in the weekend, and it was, as anticipated, really great!

I would also like to say thank you for coming and enhancing our weekend!

REALLY IMPRESSIVE! It's becoming a sprawling labyrinth. GREAT WORK!
I especially like this one:



Is that tank & pipe piece part of that IMEX Chemical Treatment Plant thingy?

Arrg, ye lucky dog! Did you take pictures? Will there be battle reports?

Oh DANG, he's SWEDISH? We pass by Gävle when we go to my grandparents' house. Some day I'd love to lay on this board. That would be wicked.

Please? xD

Its totally awesome! How come most of the swedish mordheim-players lives in the up north??
Down here (Malmö) its a rare sight indeed...

As fantastic it may be, i would second the suggestion of bodies and other random stuff layin about. Just small things that adds to the feel of the board.

Only got to see this amazing project now. What a brilliant idea! It gives so many options for loads of different games too - it even reminded me of Deathtrap Dungeon, which goes back a loooong while when I was into Fighting Fantasy books.

And the storage (my main issue at the moment) seems to be quite manageable, as the pieces are all modular.

Keep going with your dungeon, it's looking awesome!

Amazing pictures! And that port is just sooooo cool!!!

Matakishi's photos of the underground terrain during a game are very cool. I hope you guys took some as well.
