Heroscape on the North-West Frontier

Some time ago I gave some of my surplus Heroscape hexed terrain to fellow wargamer and Peter Laing enthusiast Ian Dury. He has recently sent me some photographs of the Heroscape hexed terrain that he has repainted so that he can fight action on the North-West Frontier. It looks very impressive, as the following photographs show.

  1. After reading The Third Portable Wargame Compendium, I have been thinking of digging out my Heroscape to use with the maps in the book. Ian's Peter Liang makes me want to get my PL figures out to use with my Heroscape terrain.

    1. Jhnptrqn,

      It sounds as if you’re enjoying reading the Third PW Compendium. In my opinion, the Peter Laing Miniatures work exceptionally well with the Heroscape terrain as I’m sure that you’ll find out for yourself.

      All the best,

      Bob

    When I first glanced at the title, I read 'Hellscape on the...'. Tell you what, the result looks very evocative of the wild hill country that features occasionally in the verse of Rudyard Kipling. Very nice!
    Cheers,

      Your initial comment made me laugh out loud … and got me a funny look from my wife!

      Ian Dury has made an excellent job of improving the Heroscape terrain and the end result looks very impressive … and very like the terrain of the North-West Frontier.

      All the best,

      Bob

  3. Hi Bob,
    Looks really good and brings to mind the wonderful photos of the North West Frontier in Donald Featherstone's Solo Wargaming book. As a teenager I found those photos most inspiring.

      I understand that Ian Dury is drawing his inspiration from the same source!

      All the best,
