It's a matt, on which you move the little metal figures around in a simulated battle.

A mate of mine paints these silly little figures as a side-line.  Makes several thousand a year from doing it.  Beautifully illustrates the maxim about fools being easily parted from things...

I kind of guessed that but my adult mind refused to believe it.  :lipsrsealed:  :grin:

I feel I should point out that I only know this as I had a lodger who was very into his little metal figures.

Creatures, probably of troll descent used to come and inhabit my living room for an evening once every few weeks and move their little metal figures around on such a matt.

Have you played WH Online? It was meant to be the most revolutionary MMO when it came out.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I used to do paint black templars when I was younger...

I've actually got a load of unpainted figures that are free to a good home. I'll try and dig them out.
