As mentioned in the last post, here are some photos of the freshly finished miniature hedges. Combined with previous elements like the menhirs and conifers, I really like how such a simple piece of scatter terrain can help tie everything together.
And despite the simplicity, this modular design offers a lot of tactical and narrative potential. You can create roads, mazes, natural fences, or garden paths – each opening up different ways to use them during wargames or RPGs. Whether as line-of-sight blockers, difficult terrain, or defensive positions, they fit perfectly into many kinds of scenarios. I made them mainly for Middle-Earth SBG, and they’re set at around 20mm in height – just above half the size of a man-sized model (elves, orcs, Uruk-hai, etc.), giving them proper cover from shooting or access to defend the barrier in-game. But there’s more! As you’ll see in the photos, the full 52 inches of hedges are also tall enough to give full coverage for smaller Middle-earth creatures – like Hobbits! That means Moria Goblins might get access to some sneaky tactics too, moving unseen across the battlefield most of the time. And of course, they look like perfect cover for Elven archers or Faramir’s rangers. I’m already thinking about using them in a future “Ambush at Ithilien” scenario. Thanks for reading – and if you enjoyed this piece, feel free to follow and check out the other posts! More terrain coming soon (hopefully 😉) Stay creative!
