So I've got it into my head to build a gaming table for use with Warhammer 40K and Malifaux. I've got the theme all sorted and everything, but I'm not sure how to start. The theme I'm going for is an icy wasteland, but I'm leaning towards creating a mountainous field, like Caradhras (from the Lord of the Rings, if anyone remembers), so the board will be a bit heavy, I imagine.
So I'd love to hear some suggestions! Basing tips, terrain ideas, advice on details, anything!
Would a modular solution would be feasible for such a thing? Maybe a 1'x2' section for the mountain and 1'x1' sections around it.
As for actually basing, how do you guys manage? A layer of MDF or plywood beneath the block of foam?
