I broke down and ordered a set of Geohex terrain. I
am very pleased but more than a little amused.
I've been making my own hex-based terrain with the
Terrain Maker hexes. My brown underside/edge paint
is an exact match for KR's, as is the flocking. I'm
tempted to buy some of the road sections just to
see if he uses the same stuff I do for the roads. :)
Comparison? I don't have the time to cover my wargaming
table in home made hexes. The Geohex stuff is definately
worth every penny I paid for it. For my DS, SG, and
Fantasy Rules! games it works out wonderfully.
For my D&D game it works less well. A 4" hex is perfect
for D&D as we don't have to measure or count little
squares. It's 20 feet across, a 1" miniature base is
5", the rest is easy. I keep a folding ruler handy
but rarely use it. <sigh> I only need about 40 more
of the things to cover my living room gaming table.
Back to the salt mines. If Geohex made 4 inch
hexes I'd buy a mass of them in an instant.
One word of warning, a cat can leave little holes where
it walks on this type terrain. DAMHIKT.
