The Black Hollow Battle Mat
I stumbled into the blast zone at dawn’s edge, the world around me stained in black glass and rust. My boot struck a warped slab of concrete, sending a hollow click echoing beneath the dust—like a Geiger counter’s pulse, reminding me of the heat that had turned this street into a tomb.
Bent I-beams rose from the ground like broken ribs, their orange rust dripping where rain had seeped through the ruin. I stayed close to the wall’s shadow-etched outlines, where charred graffiti hinted at lives that had flickered out. Above me, glass waves caught the pale light and rippled in silent tribute to the firestorm’s last breath.
With each step, the underlayer whispered back—air pockets popping like dry joints in some giant skeleton. I could almost taste the whisky-sweet tang of scorched metal mixed with decay. My respirator pulsed in my ears, a lone heartbeat in the final hush.

Backdrops
Set of 5x, 14x10.5in map related background for photos
How to use Backdrops:
- Backdrop upright on a stand, 5–30 cm behind the model.
- Lower the camera to model eye level.
- For action shots, raise the camera and include plenty of floor tile.
- Focus on the model; keep the background softly blurred.
- Hide edges: add models/terrain to break the floor tile boundary.
- Light model, not so much tile or background.
- Step back and zoom (50–85 mm equiv. or phone 2–3×) to avoid distortion.
- Add depth with occluders: place small elements front/behind and half way through frame edges.
- Test light colour, angles and heights.
- Dark room, one handheld light. Photo with timer let you position light easily.
- Brush light across the miniature to mimic sun/lamp/fire.
