Build Journal: Neue Regel

During the planning stage for one of our group's game session many years ago it became apparent that we were going to have enough players for two simultaneous games.  This necessitated a new set of terrain.  I had recently dumped out a couple of large Bionicle sets and had several large, very difficult to use pieces lying around.  Looking at them I came up with an idea for an alien, warped terrain.  I also was looking for an excuse to get my "Evil Stargate Ring & Towers" back on to the gaming table.  All of this, combined with a general malaise added up to a dark, slightly twisted, possibly-Warhammer-40K-ish set of terrain.

"Trees".

More "Trees".  This and the prior picture

can both take one Hit before being reduced

under the Height Requirement for Cover.

Even more "Trees".  This one can take two Hits.

Statue?  It can take one Hit before

being reduced to rubble.

Another "Statue".  This can take two Hits.

"Hedge".  Another one Hit wonder.

Silos.  These were made to add elevated platforms
to the battlefield.  They can take two Hits.

Rock formations.  The one on the left can take

a single Hit and the other can take two.

Little Statues.  These were created because I wanted

to experiment with a couple of Hero Factory helmets.

They both can take 2 Hits before being destroyed.

Another stand of "Trees".  These can take one Hit.

All of these were placed on a grey piece of felt to simulate a dark, dreary world.  I was hoping all of this added up to an evocative setting.  Something that would get passers-by to stop and take a look at our gaming table.  It's seen use a couple of times since then.  Hopefully this gives people ideas for using parts they normally would just leave in the bin to gather dust and how to combine them all into a viable table-setting.

And, yes, I'm a fan of Queensryche.  Why do you ask?  :-)
