Tablescapes™: An in-depth look.

Lo folks, the other tablescapes post got a bit long so I decided to move the in depth look on the set to this post. Again, this is taken with a mobile phone camera so I'm really sorry about the quality of the pictures. This post is mostly just pictures, my comments will be nominal, this is for people who want to see every tile.

I got two sets of tabelscape tiles, the rolling fields and the scrapyard. Each of them sixteen tiles. Now the rolling field comes in two of each kind, while every tile in the scrapyard is a unique piece. But lets start with the rolling fields tiles.



 Here we have what I have dubbed Rolling Fields #1 (that's not hashtag one kids that's number one), not much to say It's a nice open tile.


Rolling Fields #2, much the same as the last one, but the details vary. 

Rolling Fields #3 Some rocks on it otherwise very open. 

Rolling Fields #4, some large rocks, I think of this as a lightly obstructed tile when trying to balance the sides. Of course this is the tile that is most obstructed in the rolling fields set.

Rolling field  #5, open if with a natural hill or slope.

Rolling Fields #6, first Rivertile, the shallow but wide one. 

Rolling Fields #7, second rivertile. River bend. It's a nice tile but the almost direct 90 degree angle will make it look odd. Small rivers dont look like this they did deep and fast and don't "go straight except when they turn 90 degrees". I'm not really a fan of rivers as a battlefield thing at all, real life rivers in a miniatures scale would be wider than the entire table.

 Rolling Fields #8, the last rivertile. The deep and narrow one. Again, small rivers down even run over flat open ground like this but I guess I have to think of it as a man made ditch or something like that. 

Well that was the unique tiles of the Rolling Fields set there are two of each in a box. Now on to the cooler (if perhaps harder to find a way to use) scrap yard. Here there are 16 unique tiles.

Scrapyard #1, Open tile with some low detail. 

Scrapyard #2 open tile with much the same kind of detail elements as the first one but a different composition. 

Scrapyard #3, again similar elements bind them together but unique composition keeps it from looking repetitive. 

 Scrapyard #4 same comment as above.


 Scrapyard #5, sorry can't think of anything smart to say here either.

 Scrapyard #6 I am impressed with how so many tiles look similar but without there being one single exact duplicate.
Scrapyard #7 

 Scrapyard #8 Well now it gets interesting. And obstruction, I'd call this a light obstruction like the rocks in the rolling fields above.

 Scrapyard #9, again a light obstruction.

Scrapyard #10, another light obstruction. 

Scrapyard #11, a little wider obstruction.

Scrapyard #12, medium obstruction one of three of what I call barricade tiles, three similar tiles but with variations to make them different. 

Scrapyard #13 the second barricade tile.  Medium Obstruction.

Scrapyard #14, the last barricade tile. Medium Obstruction.


Now to the cool stuff.
 Scrapyard #15 is the first scrap hill tile and is the secondly heaviest obstructed pile in both my sets. I consider this a heavy obstruction and thus it shouldn't be on the same side as this tile:

 Scrapyard #16, the second scrap hill and it's the heaviest obstructed tile there is on these sets. 


Very well, this is all, now if you came here from the main post this is where you get back to it. (But if you can pressing back will place you right where you left off)

until next time.
