I think the inner child in me is constantly trying to recreate the Battle of Endor from "Return of the Jedi."

Here is my idea: What if the gaming table was covered in forest? ?

But not just any forest, a mega tree forest! ?

The trunks of these trees would be the size of the 40K ordance template or maybe even larger. ?

They wouldn't be whole trees, their tops being roughtly at our own physical height.

One may have some fun and have a highway through the trees or buildings built onto the trees. Like a Wookie city.

Now understand, I'm not going to build any of this right now. I just think it's a cool, IMHO, idea that I wanted to share with my gaming buddies. Maybe I'll inspire one or two of you and it will all be worthwhile.

I should just be working on having a painted army! :D

Take Care!

I like it!!!   you could make the trunks out of alot of things around the house.   And of course, all IG players have to use lots of troops and AT-ST..I mean Sentinels!

I was thinking you could use old paint cans, or empty tubs of butter. Or just carve it out of blocks of foam about a foot high. ?

Use some wall putty to give the outside texture, prime black, ?and some drybrush a your done. ?

It would make for some intersting gaming because in game terms their height is infinate. ?So skimmers couldn't "jump" over them. ?And I guess no flyers, but I imagine the ork fighta pilots would still try to fly through the trees. ? ?:p

Definitely sounds great !  I have some giant mushrooms from Grendel and GZG, that I'm going to add to my weird alien terrain inventory !  :;):

Re - mushrooms - flower arrangement and DIY-home deco shops are great (check out the flower arrangement wire - long, straight strands, stiff but bendable, and paintable too, ideal for loads of stuff) for innovative ideas - L4, try their foam mushrooms - dirt cheap, very large (Warlord Titan-sized at least!), and easy to carve into or paint or whatever.

I have quite a lot from the 2 companies. Ranging from the size of a Warhound to a tall dreadnought. It should be an interesting set of terrain when completed.  I like weird alien stuff !   :;):

Hmmmm....IG would triumph untill they met Smurfette!  Then they would be destroyed by her secret weapons!  Unless they had the forsight to bring some SoB along.

:p

That image is both strange, funny, and somewhat disturbing in a sort of "I want to see it" sort of way.  ???

Thanks for sharing it.  :laugh:

Now all you need is some small blue troops (Ultra Marines, maybe)...

Smurf Marines counter the Evil Eldar attack.  :laugh:
