Spain in Miniature

I took a few pictures of Phil's SCW table layout during a break in our most recent Monday game in OHQ. I really do rate Phil as an exponent of the art of visually pleasing while game friendly terrain. The pictures anyway, before I waffle on too much ~


Phil has combined terrain features from several manufacturers and different mediums to produce a uniform yet varied look to the table top battlefield. I think it's a standard we all could aspire too, even if not emulate to such an end product. See if you can work out all the different sources of terrain Phil has utilized in creating Spain in Miniature...

    1. I believe that Phil made it using a commercial wall set, possibly from Empress, and grave stones from Warbases. But, I may be wrong...

    2. The walls are from Coriatani and the grave stones are Ainsty, Warbases and some Dave gave me, don't know the maker.
