Kristo65's 3d printed ruins

Some more ruin pieces:

 

And some shots of a battlefield my son setup with them: 

 

We played a game of Song of Blades & Heroes here, skeletons against humans.  He won, but only because he got lucky and found the magic item and escaped with it before I could bring my Cleric to bear.

These are awesome pieces. I will point my friend with a printer toward T4P ( I will end up painting them, but that's not a worry). They look great on the table and seen to have a lot of good textures for paint. Are the vines part of the print, or did you add them entirely yourself?

 

Can you say a little bit about your hex tiles on your table? Looks like you have a bunch of grass hexes, and I think just some partial-hex shoreline pieces? They aren't grass-and-water hexes?

 

How big are the hexes, how big is your table, etc...? I really like the look of them a bunch.

The Ulvheim pieces are a set of modular pieces that you print the pieces for and then assemble into whatever configurations you want.  I should probably post a picture of a bunch of unassembled pieces.  It can remain modular, but in my case, I chose to glue the pieces together for set pieces that I can pull out and put on the table quickly.

As part of assembling and detailing them, I used some epoxy and modeling paste to hide some of the seams, and then added the vines afterwards.  The vines are made with short pieces of twisted "hemp" cord, flocking and some poly fiber.

Have you heard of Geo-Hex?

That's essentially what my hex terrain tiles are.  Only instead of buying into the Geo-Hex system with its limited availability these days, I reworked the basic pieces and a few of my own variants into a smaller format to print on my 3d printer.  My tiles are 8" across (flat to flat), the biggest my printer can handle.  I have barely enough tiles printed, painted and flocked to cover my table - I really need to get back to that so I can vary the terrain some more. 

The blue is my table top, which you can see uncovered here in my wip thread for my gaming area.   My son wanted lots of water features for this battled, otherwise, I have a Geo-Hex mat that can go under the tiles for full grass, too.

Thank you very much, but I owe much of it to Markus at Terrain4Print.

I had not heard of Geo-Hex. I like it.

 

Thanks for the details. Gives me some ideas.

 

And I'd love to see some of those pieces before assembly if you get the chance.
