I'll start off with the finished base board and then show you how I got there as it's easier to explain when you first see what I was trying to achieve.

This is using print off terrain from Worldworks Games www.worldworksgames.com/
I haven't made it the way Worldworks suggests on their site as it takes AGES to build! I have precious little time in between having a family and working and I want to spend this playing Malifaux. So heres what I came up with...
After spending a LONG time making about 6 tiles for the base layer and knowing I had to make about 48 including the second level buildings I decided there had to be a better way.
It came to me whilst out shopping with my wife that these would do the job nicely!

Of course they come in a pack of 8 and I need 9 for a 3'X3' board but £4 for enough to do a 4'x4' was fine.
I printed off the base design I needed

But instead of cutting the lines for making the foamboard tiles I just cut the 6"x6" design

Then taking one of the self adhesive tiles I fliped it over and scored it into 4 6"x6" squares

I could then just peel away one corner and stick down the tiles individually.

Stick all 4 designs on and you have 1 of 9 tiles completed!

If your interested in what I used to make the base level board drop me a comment and I can give you some advice as I spent way too much money getting it wrong before I got it right here. I'm out of the country this week but hope to get the buildings, ramps and walls done sometime next week. I'll update once I have something to show.
