One of the keystone differences between Blackstone Fortress and other Warhammer Quest game family is that combat employs cover. To indicate cover, lines are printed on the game tiles. Here’s a video that explains it. The gentleman in the video is non-coincidentally the designer of most of the terrain that I use.

I REALLY like using the terrain. Without it, I guarantee I would forget about cover effects every single time. I really need those vertical elements for me to notice them.

I haven’t inventoried every single tile so there may be an enormous map that requires more terrain than I have. I’ll deal with that if it comes up.

Me – 2023

The tiles have three themes: tessellating geometrics, rocky crystals, and sci-fi elements. I’m not particular about when I use them, and many are tile-specific. There are also some blocking hex elements at the end. I included two photos of each element: Angle, and Top Down.

I printed the geometric terrain on my Ender 3 Pro FDM printer and the curvy pieces on my Mars 3 resin printer. No supports or special bed adhesion needed. I was pretty sure layer lines would bother me if I printed everything on the filament printer. I’m happy with how everything turned out. 99% airbrush painted. The buttons on the control panel are brushwork and the Chamber Walls were drybrushed.

Geometric Walls

Note that the tri-wall feature was printed 5 times. I have not run into a situation that other elements require duplication.

I had a partial print failure on the tri-wall element. I kept it, I think it looks cool. I was going to paint it like battle damage, but haven’t yet. Maybe some day…

No Pass / Blocked Pass

I don’t know how many of these are necessary. I printed a few for fun.

I haven’t printed these, but I like the idea.
