Well its done. 400 four inch hexes cut. That's 260 allocated for plains tile, and the rest for regular terrain pieces. Since pb2 " biting the hand" is the only epic sized game out there I based my numbers off of that scenario. It will take 320 tiles to cover two boards, but since there is a total of 60 terrain overlay hexes, I only need 260 tiles for the plains section. It is pretty impressive since a regular board will be 5 foot by 3 foot, "biting the hand" will cover 10 feet across! Ill have some pictures by the weekend to show some examples of my terrain tiles. The pictures are boring right now as it is just a milk crate filled with Masonite hexes.
Now the debate rages on whether or not to buy another core set to set up the epic game and paint all the same type units at once.

My scheme for the 3D board is making individual 4 inch hexes cut on a table saw with a jig to replace the existing board and terrain tiles. To date I have 200 blanks cut, and 100 hexes. By my count I need a total of 145 to replace the original board and 90 or so to replace the terrain overlay tiles. Since the board will be individual tiles the new terrain tiles will replace the plain tile to create a completely flat (except the 3D aspect) playing surface.
Started basing the figures and priming them. I am taking them in units to paint. I am currently debating how to handle the painting schemes as there are discrepancies with the card images, book information and other FFG product images. I will more than likely paint the units as per the card image to lessen the confusion. An example of this is the Mormont shield maidens. They are shown with bluish clothing while other images show them in green.
Pictures forthcoming
