Cardboard Combat Village

I found some sheets of cardboard in the supply closet at school. Yesterday and today during my lunch break I experimented with some terrain. I will not paint this; I like the understated look. I think I will build a few more and have myself a nice cardboard combat village.

     In other news, here's the view from Gath Angeles.

  1. That looks fantastic. And I agree that not painting it is the way to go.

  2. Do you have a recommendation for a rules light minis wargame?

  3. LOVE the cardboard house. I know he is wavinghis mace menacingly, but the Skellie by the ladder looks like he's raising his hand to wave hello to me. I love the almost cartoonish quality of the building, the handles on the shutter are uneven, the exaggerated door frames, it's just whimsical and light-hearted. Love it, love it!

    1. Oh my gosh! It does look like he's waving! I'm glad you liked the building. hen I saw the lopsided handles on the shutters I thought, "You know what, I like it!" If you do a google image search for cardboard city or cardboard favela, some really cool inspiration comes up. I had no idea cardboard cities were a thing in the art world. I just though it was wargame terrain. I want to draw drawing some skellie archers next, then other types of figures to do some squad level solo wargaming. :)

  4. Consider looking at Original Edition Delta Book of War. I think Delta might be close to publishing his second edition, but the first edition works extremely well.

  6. I'm thinking squad level skirmish rules, perhaps? Genre, that's a toughie. Do they make generic rules? What's the system you like for the apes in the wasteland?

  7. I use Zona ALfa for the apes game, although I added in the apes to the game. : )
