WARHAMMER QUEST: RE-CREATING MIDDLE-HAMMER'S FINEST DUNGEON CRAWLER
DESIGNING AND PRINTING THE LAIR OF THE ORC LORD EXPANSION BOARD SECTIONS
Collapsed Passageway from Lair of the Orc Lord (I believe it was in an issue of White Dwarf, too). I struggled a bit with this one because the program I use isn't good at organic shapes so replicating the rockfall was a bit fiddly. In the end I opted for vertical lines drawn free hand with some intersecting stepped horizontal sections. I had to make it taller as initially it was only about waist height on the minis! I also couldn't have rocks covering the squares or there would be no room for the models.
Of all the board sections I've done this is the one I have the most doubts about - I'll paint it up and see how it looks before deciding whether or not it's worked!
The Shaman's Den from Lair of the Orc Lord - Quite a straightforward one really. I used a curved shape for these tiles rather than straight, and extruded them out to 3 levels. I opted not to add any of the barrels etc. that are painted on the board, however I am considering going back to make the cauldron that is featured
Gorgut's Lair - Lair of the Orc Lord Objective Room. As this is a larger room at 5 squares across and also features multiple levels it took a bit of thinking about. The interaction of the initial 4 squares, the step up, then the platform with 5 squares, as well as the pit and retaining walls took a bit of experimentation to nail down. I also had to make the spikes for the pit as a separate STL file. I then had to cut the model before generating the STLs as it wouldn't all fit on the print bed at once
This is by far the biggest board section I've printed - it's both taller and wider than any of the other pieces, and in total took 8 hours to print and used almost a third of a role of filament!
