Product Description
In this book veteran wargamers and model makers Jonathan Sutherland and Timothy Hall explain the principles and techniques that will enable you to build wargame terrain and buildings that will be the envy of your friends. Encompassing a wide range of different systems for permanent and portable baseboards, the book discusses the construction of groundwork, landscape features and buildings that are realistic and detailed enough to add real distinction to your gaming table while being rugged enough to withstand the frequent handling demanded by gaming. Though aimed at historical wargamers, many of the techniques are equally applicable to fantasy gaming.

3 out of 5 stars An interesting book short on details.   June 13, 2007
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I bought this book hoping it would show me in detail how to go about making terrain in a step by step kind of way in order to take my terrain skills to a higher level. In a couple of cases it does that but these are few and far between. There is some discussion on techniques but these are more beginner to intermediate ideas.

The section on modular terrain is probably the section I got the most out of and it is fairly comprehensive with a number of techniques and ideas on how to go about it.

There is a lot of discussion on a wide variety of terrain manufacturers and supporting companies and the products they make and some ideas for there use and that is where this book really has value as it also lists manufacturers including web addresses.

In it are a lot of colour photographs which themselves provide a lot of inspiration. Unfortunately the photos are more focused on the miniatures than the terrain they are on but this is a minor distraction.

Its an OK book well worth adding to your library if your a beginner to intermediate terrain builder and a good reference for the rest of us.
