OK I know these are well out of date but I think you may like to see them in any case – I’ve been trying to make my mind up over hex terrain or square and came across two wonderful examples of the Kallistra Hexon hexes with the first two being a mixed scale (28 / 25 / 15mm) fantasy battle based on the Battlelore game (a great fan site is here):
Note the interesting use of round bases – I’ve not seen this before. Sorry to say I do not remember who laid this game on and its not on the Partizan web site.
The second use was a demo game by Kallistra themselves showing the new castle / keep they have produced for their range of figures:
Strange this is that though I loved looking at both these games (and will buy the castle one day) I decided against the hexes for two main reasons:
- The rivers sit on top of the hexes and are not sunken. Talking over the process shown on the web here it is very complex and hard to get a flush surface with the rest of the board.
- The hills and slopes look wrong to my eyes. I’ve not managed to work out why but they just seem wrong.
I’ll still use hexes for small games (see the cave man exploration game coming to this blog in November) but for SOBH and other skirmishes I’m going to make some standard tiles as tested on the Battlesuit board previously.
