;D
Here are some pictures of the current terrain Project I am working on it will be a large Area of a Small city that has been heavily shelled & bombed for day or weeks. I am building this City to represent the city of Over-Watch which is on the edge of the Terran Colonial Empire which has been used as a major staging point for the last 80 years for multiple incursion into neighboring systems in an attempt to conquer them. The City is still a work in progress including a Factory that is in the very first stages of development as a terrain piece & part of the building that I am putting together for the Campaign. My building are being built larger than most building used by 15mm War Gamers but I am planning to run this campaign as a series of Battles for key locations in the city & will be fought 1 neighborhood at a time. Details on this campaign will be forth coming in the next few months. More on My Blog with lots of Pictures & a some details on the projects

First here are some Pictures of the Factory as it stand today I plan t add details & a interior. The exterior will be getting a top level Vehicle Storage Garage & eventually I will add a Shuttle Landing Pad & Large freight elevator just to name a few of the Improvements I have planned for the Factory.

My Rubble Mix is a Mix of Kitty Litter i got from the dollar store, parts of wooden Skewer Sticks, Pieces left over from used hobby stick from this & a couple other projects, some of the left overs from the clean up of my model (Yes Waist Not Want Not)with a small amount of my Flock for basing added in to add some color to the rubble. I am planning to add some Sand & cut up Plastic Sprew I have & add it to the Rubble Mix. Haven't had a chance to finish the mix yet. None of the Rubble is glued done it is place. When I set up the Terrain I place the building & other terrain pieces as desired. After placing all the terrain I distribute the Rubble Mix. Allowing for the terrain for every game to seem different.

The only real drawback to My Rubble mix is the clean up. After putting away the Figures You have to pull all the terrain out of the Rubble mix & dust it off ( I use a regular Painters Brush to do this ) Making sure to brush it back into the area covered by the Rubble Mix. Finally after all your Figures & other Terrain Pieces are put up you take a small Hand Broom & Dust Pan & Sweep it Up & put it all Back into the Storage Container which should be specifically for the Rubble Mix & Marked so.

If you purchase marine aquarium grade sand/gravel/rubble it is pre washed, so you don't get the dust problem.

I am Building this Terrain Both The Ruins as well as My Objective Specialty Buildings because I,m planning a Narrative Campaign. the Campaign for The Invasion Of Over-Watch which has been used as a Major Military Staging Area for the Terran Colonial Empire (TCE) in their war with The Riek & others. I decided to use the Riek as the Planetary Invasion Force. The Riek is a Human Force Made up of the Elite Panzer Grenadiers Supported By Combat Robots & Cyborgs & Mechs are a Good Contrast to the TCE Imperial Army's Primarily Conscript Light Infantry who Mainly Use 1/2 Track a Human Force Made up of the Elite Panzer Grenadiers Supported By Combat Robots & Cyborgs. The troops pictured are Panzer Grenadiers, War Hound Class War Robots & a Tracked APC.

I figure I post this here since this is the level of rubble that I will use for best appearance as well as Playability of the Gaming Table. Waiting on Gruntz 1.1 so I can Just right the Draft Twice rewriting what I have already got done which is about 1/2 of the story line & 1/4 of the Scenarios designed. Additionally I need to finish Painting up A Full Infantry Company + Support for each Faction & Finish up the Basic Terrain & Build All the Specialty Terrain (Objectives).
