Grish says: "Heroscape came out at a time when I was producing my own three dimension hex maps for use with Metagaming’s The Fantasy Trip “Melee” and “Wizard”. For those of you not familiar with “Melee” and “Wizard” it is a hex based game using miniature figures that was very popular in the late 70’s and early 80’s. I’ve always envied the beautiful setups that Warhammer players create with their scenery and really wanted a way to bring that over to a hex based game. So I started cutting hexes out of flocked foam core with great success, the only difficulty was not being able to lock the hexes together to keep them from sliding apart (that and the time required to produce the hexes)."

 Part 2 of the Hex battle board article. This article will show you how to make your own elevations for your battle board. Elevations add depth and strategy to your games, and also look nice so you are not alwways playing on a flat surface!  These are pretty basic techniques in terrain building and should help you out on your journey to making more advanced pieces!  If you have any questions feel free to ask in the forums.
