The New Year and the first post for 2011 and it is a terrain post. As loyal readers are aware, I run Gathering in the Desert, a Lord of the Rings Independent Grand Tournament. We are going on our 4th year and in a manner to bring some awesome terrain to the event I started to revamp some of the terrain. The past two years Tom O supplied the terrain for the Osgiliath table which was greeted with some interesting comments (From we love it to I hate that table!). Tom is looking at selling off his terrain so it was up to me to re-do the table.
Well I started with 8 of the Osgiliath terrain kits from Gamesworkshop. here are a few of the completed terrain pieces for the table.
DrunkenSamurai is working on at least two other sections for this table, so the table looks a little bare in the below picture.
I also have a fountain and a few rubble piles to finish up but all in all the table looks good. Now I just have to finish a few other tables before GitD 2011. So stay tuned...TK

I do like it, very nice.
Nice terrain! Eager to see the entire board!
Tim, this is great looking terrain. I'm hoping to do something similar for Adepticon/BBB as well.
I can't believe GitD is less than 2 months away now. Time to get crackin'
I like the ruins.

Liking it Tim. That kit looks extremely versatile. Right now stop messing about with LOTR and get some pics of your old Quest boards up please;0)
Well, really nice ruins.
One thing I don't like in this work, is that you didn't make the same type of bricks like in the plastic kit of GW. I mean, that it would look more realistic when all bricks are in the same type/structure ;)

Nice, very nice!!
Looks great. Unlike Daen I actually like the mix of stonework. In the books Osgiliath was fought over for close to a hundred years since Ithilien fell. Buildings would have been repaired, destroyed, re-fortified and barricades raised over decades of warfare with materials to hand. I doubt Gondors finest stonemasons would have much opportunity to restore the city to it's former glory.
Keep up the good work, it has rekindled my enthusiasm for LotR SBG.
