A 25mm laser-cut / etched objective marker might be doable and not hugely expensive, if anyone has any ideas along those lines?
Im just spitballing here, so bear with me.
I have long had an interest in having a tiny, postage stamp sized wargaming table for my miniatures to wargame on. It doesnt make a lot of sense in some respects, but I like the idea of having a table like that in the corner of my miniature cantina/tavern. Conceptually I see it a bit like the game of dejarik played on the Millennium Falcon in A New Hope.
A tiny slot together table, possibly with a couple of loose ovoids to make small stepped hills and maybe a jagged cross section piece to function as a wooded area is within the technology available for laser cut wood/card for sure. Etch "BOYL 2014" on the table surface and you have a goofy, unique, usable piece of terrain/objective marker that works equally well for fantasy and sci-fi and a functional souvenir.
Does that sound like a good idea or a bad idea to you guys? I kind of like it, but it may not be to everyones taste. Obviously everyone could use a set of miniture crates too in all likelihood, but that sort of thing seems a little dull to me.
I have contacted a laser cutter that I have had dealings with before for some ball park info on costing for a small, feasibly mounted on a 25mm base, objective marker sized laser cut item to a quantity of twenty, just to get an idea.
Any thoughts?
