Having
a lot of details and small scenery-pieces is what really makes a gaming board,
in my opinion.
My
Pulp Alley campaign will soon move to North Africa and I need more stuff for
that setting. While shopping for scenery for my Pulp Carnival setting I found
this, MDF-scenery for a North African market place.
The Souk - Set
Dressings
by Sally 4th gives you
a lot of stuff; 8 market stalls, 2 carpet racks (with carpets), 6 benches, 2
wheeled barrows, 4 boxes and finally 2 fruit display crates (that I haven’t
assembled yet, as they are quite fiddly). All this for £20 - great value!
I
assembled as per instructions and painted everything to get a more pleasing
look compared to the ‘raw’ look. The carpets were cut out and painted with a
dilute sand-colour on the reverse, to avoid the stark white from the paper. I also painted two canopies with a dilute yellow, to get some variability. I might paint a couple more in the future.
All
in all a super set, well worth the money and definitely a must-buy for pulp-games
in North Africa or any appropriate historical setting. Rome, maybe.
That is a great looking set! Markets are so good for that setting: we've had all manner of fun with them in our games.
ReplyDeleteYep, markets are really great surroundings for a pulp-game.
DeleteGot some more stuff for this Souk. Coming soon.
One I need to pick up myself Joakim :)
ReplyDeleteSorry :-)
DeleteNice! What would the first Indiana Jones movie have been without that chase scene through the souk?
ReplyDeleteExactly. This is such a good set, and when you get something to put on those tables it gets even better (yes, there is more on the painting table just now)
DeleteSoooooo nice, I do like this market set!
ReplyDeleteIt is one of those sets where you think "why haven't we seen this before?"
DeleteWould look good for Gangs of Roman I think, ta Joakim, interesting stuff, have worked with Sally 4th materials and they come together well :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! They are rather timeless (except the crates) and would certainly work well in anything from Rome forward.
DeleteA really versatile set
