But tbf the yellow doesn't show as brightly as it does to the eye, and I was trying for a 'quick'n'dirty' technique which this is.<br /><br />The "Renedra" gravestones are great, and I've some more WIPs to post before I present the finished articles. Perhaps they'll tempt you ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-35822844723448196382016-07-21T15:59:12.695-07:002016-07-21T15:59:12.695-07:00Love the Human Torch.

I couldn't locate the post where you said how big the Lost Patrol hexes were and the web seems to be awfully reticent on this point. I'm estimating about 4" across the flats, which means that they're roughly the same size as the Kallistra single hex tiles, which are 100mm. A pack of 10 unflocked single hexes (in whatever colour) being 7.50.<br />And I've just remembered they do trench hexes. So, you could do the steampunk WW2 section of Sucker Punch with Lost Patrol, nazi zombies and heavily armed girl commandoes...Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-87709177493300387532016-07-18T14:45:41.440-07:002016-07-18T14:45:41.440-07:00Wow.

What's not to like? They look suitably disgusting.
