| My new Firestorm Armada/X-Wing Board |
Today I built myself a new board for Firestorm
armada or X-Wing. I've never actually had a game board of my own,
since I've always played readily at the Hampton Games Club. However,
with family commitments getting tighter, it seemed that being able
top play a game in the evening would be a plus, so I had a go. It
also made sense that the two games I've adopted of late both need the
same board. I've made plenty of terrain in the past, so I figured my
skills were up to the challenge. I took some inspiration from people
on the Spartan Community Board and The Way Gate.
The board was made in three sessions, like most of the club boards. I used 9mm MDF for a bit more stability. I wanted to make sure the board would play both X-Wing and Firestorm Armada, so I included a 3'x3' area for X-Wing, over two of the 2'x4' boards. A third 2'x4' section tacks on to make a 6'x4' board for Firestorm Armada.
I have prepared a brief tutorial below for how I made my boards.
