I made a TEENY TINY Fantasy Map!

[@johnpawlak7350]

You could have the tiles affect how future battles are played more than just the terrain setup. For example, if Jazza's Orks conquered a farm he could get more models in the next battle because they're well nourished. It could give a little more immersion to the narrative. Great work as always. Y'all are great.

[@shadowofhawk55]

I love this idea. I could also see this as an opportunity for Dave to field something like Freeguilds as well, like a miltia type thing for saving a township.

[@mycatistypingthis5450]

Oathmark does something similar with their faction building mechanic.

This is fantastic! Really nice job putting this together. Being an 80's kid, I really am living a dream come true seeing what tabletop games have become since the dawn of the internet and social networking, and the availability of production equipment at an affordable cost to hobbyists.

@@timwelch175 i used to play gurps and old D&D with my family but when my friends wanted to play it was always on the fly and i never got much prep time as a DM do genuinely think we are in a kind of golden age of miniatures. so cheap incredible quality and diversity. if you can think of something theres probably a mini line with that thing already in production. i love all the kickstaters just wish i had more money to push around but eh times are hard for most people and not being able to buy little plastic men isnt the end of the world these videos do give me more ideas then my wallet allows for XD but ill take a grack at making home made versions of these (no 3d printer) cause i do love the idea of a evolving modular map of a city

[@miawilkinson6195]

I love how you made this map feel almost like a Google map aerial view your artistic skills are amazing, I also love how when you presented it in the final shots you used the cotton wool/fluff to make clouds it reminded me of a video game almost like your waiting to unlock the next grid on the map leaving you open to creating and even bigger and even more fantastic world 😁 FOR SIGMA!

[@justplainjosh]

That's really cool! The first thing I thought when I saw that was that it looks like Catan! I really like the tile with the mill and the farm. Maybe it has a little inn or tavern there in the house that was there, called The Prancing Pony (LotR reference). Anyway this is a really cool map!

[@ebonymacpherson4785]

This looks amazing! And you've inspired me to craft a little Barovia for my players! I think the swamp river tile in the south east should be 'Rotten Run'. The townsfolk avoid it due to it being a hunting/dumping ground for the orruks, and the source of some of the foul ichors the swamp calla uses! Can't wait to see the campaign flourish!

[@randomhuman731]

This has to be one of my favourite ideas you’ve explored on TTT. This is great! Perhaps adding small magnets to the edges on the tiles to make the snap together as the interlocking parts looked a tad fiddly. Love the concept keep at it!

Since there are two rivers; one for the ork and one for the humans, you could give the ork the backstory that the reason behind their attacks is for fresh water - their water supply has been tainted and they need to be imperialistic for a source of potable water.

[@gerdine9258]

This very strongly reminded me of the settlers of catan tiles, probably because ofo the shape, but also the farms, grasslands and mountains. And yes, 80% of the time I have no idea what you are talking about, but it sounds cool and interesting! Eventually, I will probably understand more of it, the more I follow this channel ;-)

[@ChristianTruss]

Love this! What about The little town of 'Cobblecross' for the structural tile on the right hand side of the map? Could be a quiet religous town where the priest has been corrupted. Now theres a gowing group of cultist fanatics that are based around the church as hostile npc's / a hazard.

[@maksnorman4386]

and their could be religous rebels who realize their corrupt leader

[@The24thFret]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH YOU PUT THE TILES IN THE DESCRIPTION!!!! No one ever seems to put the one thing I'm looking for there, this is such a big help for the board game I'm making where I was looking for tiles like these!

I really hope this turns into a long campaign and we get to follow a rouge group travelling through the realm while these one shot battle reports are taking place. Would be an amazing blend of role play, 40k etc.

[@Peregrintoook]

I grew up on my family farm and having the name in there would be amazing. It’s called Amery Court Farm. Hehe that would be so cool. Also we have a wood near by called Clowes Wood (just thought it also sounded like clouds wood which might be fitting). Anyways love this build and the resurgence of the channel. You’re doing an amazing job Dave

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

What a lovely little world, nicely done Dave

[@Aron616]

I really like the mountain that has the town and army camp at its base. You could name it dracon spire, Karazai's claw, or dracothion's gaze; As if the people of the town felt protected living in the mountains immense shadow. I'm loving being inspired by all of TTT's creative projects!

[@deltahillcreative]

Your map looks amazing Dave! I can just imagine it being revealed hex by hex as the campaign explores the landscape. The Ork's swamp should be called Goopsland to pay homage to the dampest area of Victoria. 😉

[@akimbominer4782]

[@emmahayes111]

So this is awesome. It’s given me an idea to finally make the game board of a table top game I was making for my boys based on How to Train Your Dragon. I got this bucket of ‘minis’ ages ago and have been meaning to paint them up and design some sort of board to go with them and I think I could make something like this for the map of the world for them to play on. Looks so good well done!

[@liamdaley6484]

For names I’ve got a few ideas, maybe the burnt village could be something like Bohn’s Folly (bohn is pronounced like bone) and one of the castles, (the bigger one) could be something like the pride of _______ and then insert whatever you name the entire land, or maybe insert a name of a town. Just some ideas but I thought that the names could also fit well into some cool backstory for the land.

[@Echowhiskeyone]

Looks very cool. You can make any terrain from plains to mountains to village to city. Not just fantasy or historic, but also sci-fi and techno. Realistic tones to vibrant alien landscapes. The possibilities are endless.

[@mban2748]

My favorite tile is the motte and bailey fort with the grain field. The one on the upper right corner of the map, by the loop in the river. (TS 13:30) I suggest Golden Keep for the golden fields of grain below. Or Harvest keep to fit the farming community theme of the tile.

[@jaspirita]

I LOVE the town tile with all the little houses

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

You should add some NPC Freeguild soldiers as the local guards and militias of the locations that will be attacked. Maybe the Stormcasts could take those who survive in later battles, or send them to locations they think will need to be defended.

[@philurbaniak1811]

It's teeny tile time! I love these and really appreciate seeing how you painted them up 😊👍

[@JacopoSkydweller]

I think you should name the clean river the Bruinen, which is the river that Glorfindel carried Frodo over, and where Gandalf and Elrond brought down the flood to destroy the Nazgul. It's fitting because the Bruinen only has one crossing, as does yours, since it has one bridge and is rushing white water besides. This is so sick! I love terrain, 3d printing and D&D, this looks like a super cool way to combine the 3 without having to build dozens/hundreds of tiles for each tactical battle, which is hard for somebody with limited storage/time like myself.

[@keithtrankler3864]

Love the concept of world map tiles. Would be really cool if as you battle across the landscape you update the tiles with things that happened within you sessions.

[@gingerbean2406]

This turned out beautiful, you really brought this mini world to life. I really like the speedy blue river parts and how they are painted and maybe one of them could be called Stardust Rapids since that foam of the rapids in the water gave me cosmic vibes and your army has pretty stars and cosmos on them.

[@mariahristova6791]

The little house near the waterfall in the brownish river could be called Kafiqv river and the cabin looks like a tavern so it could be called the Resting Waters or the Falling Swamp , also good work .These models are the kind of things that made me want to learn how to sculpt miniatures.

[@Atherax]

I'm pretty late on this, but I'm SO happy to see Hexton hills being used for a map. I loved their stuff, and want to do something similar. I don't really have a prefered tile, but rather a few.

[@deniseclair6100]

This is amazing! I love the differences between similar tiles to show differences in the region or history of the areas: the 2 villages and the rivers in particular. I can’t wait to see where the campaign goes! Picking a favourite is tough... Gotta pick 2 I guess. I really like the tile with the waterwheel on the North River; your water effects look really great from the aerial view. The other is the tile to it’s upper right, with the wheat field and buildings (the one at the edge, beside the clouds); the amount of detail you have on such a small tile is amazing. But all of them are great, and I am excited to see if/when a battle table is made for each of them!

[@moscowcowboy_13]

Beautiful map buddy! So exciting to see how you can develop lots of mini adventures based on what you have already.

[@BajkonurBobby]

Love the little castle/fortress. Such an important yet purely functional place in a fantasy world like this one. The whole board already looks fantastic, triggering so much imagination. For some reason I came up with the name Karnvagh Castle. Thinking it sounded a little Scottish I researched it and actually found a place in Ireland with almost the same spelling. With carn meaning rocky hill/horn/peak in Gaelic and Gaul, and -augh meaning connected with/belonging to. So basically: the castle belonging on the rocky hill or perhaps Castle on the Peak or Horn Castle. But I do like my initial spelling. Very fantasy-esque I think. 😊 Do what you will with it. For Karnvagh! And Sigmar!!

[@ctrlaltdisease]

Just from that opening shot I knew these were all beautiful. Good job.

You should print and paint some flags to indicate who won what battle and therefore controls what zone. You could take it further by allowing more units or command points based on how many tiles adjacent a faction controls. Something fun.

[@audball978]

This is insanely cool. No other words, just wow.

[@WyvernStopMotions]

I think the castle tile should be called Vandelnook or Ivalo Stronghold :D I recently ran a campaign where both of those were locations, and it would be epic to see them in this world.

[@FensterZurSeele]

Honestly my favourite is the triangular crossroads in the middle. Something like… forgotten crossroads. Where a battle was fought so long ago the details have been forgotten and only the battle scars remain on the land such as small burial mounds or rusted useless broken weapon pieces still scattered half buried.

[@TheTealPrince]

I have been printing these for a while now. Going for the magnetised option with one magnet each on the underside and a white board to stick them to. They look awesome, but it takes a long time to print all the tiles, especially since I'm working with an Elegoo Mars Pro, its a bit slower than the newer printers, and I can only fit two tiles at a time on. It also eats a lot of materials. So this project is turning out to be a lot bigger and more expensive than I first anticipated, but the end result will be worth it I think.

[@FitzUrse]

I'm not that into table top gaming, but I absolutely love the idea of painting up a sprawling map of these tiles to be displayed on a wall or something.

[@kelimar3014]

It would be really cool to have the world map be a living world map, where you swap out tiles to represent the results of various battles. The Kruleboyz take a town and loot it? Well that tile with the town gets swapped out for one that's been painted to look war ravaged or burnt out. etc etc. Then you could have a brief shot of the world map in the intro of every battle report where the viewers can get an immediate sense of how the campaign as a whole is going just by how the world map is looking.

Hah yes, they can be a little fiddly. There's a knack to getting them right - tiliting at an upwards angle as you connect. Using a slightly flexible resin helps. I'm fond of them but if you're looking to play about with different layouts then a magnetised base on a whiteboard without tabs is the way forward. You can always mount it on your fridge like that, makes for something a little unique :P

And the two tiles to the north of Brook Farm can be the Shadlands. Maybe the large mountain is actually a volcano and that's where the glass demons spawn, bringing the celestial battle report into the same world. I love world building!
