DnD Terrain and Tiles

Terrain and magnetic tiles were something we’d talked about doing forever, but never really took the plunge… until now!

Using Wyloch’s Armory instructions, we made a bunch of magnetic tiles with 1.25” squares (he makes it look so easy, but it takes forever!) and then… the scatter!

The books are a bit out of scale, and I made way too many loot bags because they were just that fun! Those were based on a tutorial, as well, using a flat-back marble and paper towel.

Then we needed some specific pieces for the campaign…

Coffins made from stir sticks and the sarcophagus was clay molded people (their faces are weird because I had a mold and didn’t trust myself to come close to sculpting a face, so we’re calling those masks…).

And, finally, some loot chests!

Then! We had a challenge for the Nerd Games to use a round cookie cutter as part of the Summer Camp Arts and Crafts project…

So I made a fountain! Is it a little wonky? Yes. I might some day be brave enough to try to put some kind of resin water in it, but for now it’s an old broken down abandoned fountain.

I look forward to trying more stuff and hopefully getting better… it takes a lot of patience and practice to get some of this stuff right! Please feel free to share any great tutorial channels you know of!

How wonderful! I’m about to start a new campaign with my best friends and this is such a serotonin boost!

The painting is so well done. And magnets… Genius. Our campaign will unfortunately be online so no need for physical maps at the moment, but I love this idea. Can’t wait to see more of your stuff!

These are great miniatures even for people who don’t know much of anything about DnD!

Everything looks fabtastic and so cool! I love that you used the cookie cutter to make a fountain! So darn original!

Doing all this must have taken quite a bit of time. And all the little thingies are so cool! Your DnD group is going to love them.

Great miniatures, the textures are very realistic.
My daughter wants to start making miniatures, I’ll show this to her, I’m sure she’ll love it too.
