04 - Difficult ground (bog/debris/soft sand/shallow pit/rocks/scrubland).

03 - Shallow river (crossable at 1/4 move) or stream (1/2) rivers have the same rules as above.

A deep river must have a crossing point for each half of the table it crosses. weird (one each and then one side can declare they are done can result in a weirdly empty board), the chart itself is a vastly simplified 2d6: While determining the number of piece is. Next up is the Warhammer: Battle BookВ from 5th edition. Let's see what else my rulebook collection offers.

94-96В -В 24' of ancient/agricultural earthworks, equivalent to walls, total area 8x8'.

85-89В -В Section of river (with additional setting up notes which I'm skipping here).

80-81В -В Inn + stable + walled courtyard, total area 12x12'.

I'd like the expand on this, adding more hab-building structures to develop into a village of sorts. Two electricity generators or power stations, some kind of squat hab-building, and some chem-storage pieces. Well, I have done a couple of pieces already. I've given them ochre desert bases, and I'd like to start accumulating a set of desert terrain to go with them. yeesh.), but I have managed to amass quite the pile of Mantis Warriors. These days, I don't play any fantasy games (despite having about four army projects. I wanted a green and verdant fantasy board for my Warhammer Empire (and when I get around to sprucing them up, I'll do just that), back in the day. I've always wanted to have a set of terrain to match my armies. Same photo as last time some pieces I bodged together in 2019. I completely failed to mention whyВ I was rambling about terrain. I mentioned how Star Wars: Legion and Infinity were showing up Warhammer 40K as speculative fiction wargames, by remembering that colours other than black, grey, or stained orange exist.
