Heroscape and my game ideas...(Terrains questions)

At least 3 sets.

At least 2 sets.

At least 2 sets.

Could be 1 set.

At least 2 sets. There are walls from 3 sets, but there might be that much terrain in 2 sets.

1 set

Probably 1 set.

1 set.

Looks like 4 sets.

Probably 2 sets.

There are parts from 4 sets (only two wall pieces per set), but there's only about 2 sets worth of terrain there. Maybe 3.

These might be better questions to ask over on the Geek, unless you're leading up to a design question. Just FYI. You're welcome to ask them here, but you'll probably get more responses to non-design questions there (and more responses to design questions here).

I play Heroscape and I think Fastlearner is right with all of those. Most of them probably have expansions though which in some give you a couple more pieces of terrian. Its a fun game, just hard to find people to play with you.

You might be able to find more help here: http://www.heroscape.net/phoenix/ then anywhere else. Its got some great forums about everything Heroscape.

WOW!, it is the first time that I see this game and it looks really cool. The hex system idea is far more better than using a ruler to measure movement and firering distance. At the first glance, it remind me "Final Fantasy tactics" with hex instead.

I think you could easily reproduce the landscape with foam core board that you stack one over the other. For higher ground, you can use foam and cut them in the right shape. They are many kind of foam for many usage. I have even seen foam to plant artificial flowers in them. So just take the cheapest foam with no bubbles and it should be OK.

For the object on the map, you can sculpt them your self from foam and paint them or you can look at a train hobby shop. I remember that they sold trees of various size. You could also use artificial plant that you cut very short and plant it in a foam base to make a tree or some sort of vegetation. You can also look at aquarium decoration but they might be more heavy and expensive.
