I am the lucky guy who commissioned this, and this board is wicked. The quality is top notch and the game board is super playable, with very few awkward spots. But even better, i can say hand on heart, Hamish is the most professional, friendly, and just all round top bloke to have asked to make this.

[@BattleGameTerrainStudio]

thanks so much Karl! it was an absolute pleasure making this and I'm glad you love it!

[@MountainGoatGaming.]

Amazing stuff!! Can’t wait to see more ❤

[@joelparslow5807]

the cracked earth sections look brilliant.

[@BattleGameTerrainStudio]

thank you! I use this technique again in my upcoming board but i put lava underneath!

[@MrSmartDonkeyLP]

Great video, really enjoyed it and learned a lot! As a heads up, some of the links in the description don't work and I also couldn't find the store link. Thanks for the video, looking forward to the next one!

[@dayvbui]

Love the video man. The amount of imagination that informed how you planned the board was brilliant to see, hope you do more of these videos!

[@BattleGameTerrainStudio]

thanks! I am working on making plenty more!

[@NoobsandMen]

Bloody Beautiful mate. Keen as a bean for more of this -Sean

[@BattleGameTerrainStudio]

plenty more in the works! 🤟

[@MephilesRider]

This is amazing! I love the video and how in-depth you've shown off everything!

[@BattleGameTerrainStudio]

thank you! I try my best to be transparent with the whole proses as I am always learning as I go :)

[@predescudenis1390]

Looking so damn good man !! It will be cool of you can add videos more often 🙏🏻

[@BattleGameTerrainStudio]

thanks! I will be adding more videos as often as I can! I'm still learning how to edit so it is a very slow proses at the moment. 🥲

[@MathieuVuylsteke]

awesome, you make it look really easy

[@BattleGameTerrainStudio]

I don't show the hours i spend just staring at it thinking 🤔

[@jimmyjimmy7923]

This is very beautiful but i think its surface looks more suited as a display board, rather than gaming. I can easily see models failing to stand there. Lovely job though!

[@karlwhite8294]

I own this board and i can absolutely say it is 95% playable with very few surfaces that are awkward to stand models on.
