Over the last few days I have created these scenery templates for our local space wargames.

Feel free to download them and use them yourselves (if anyone here actually playes space combat games?? )

We print them out on a laser printer and then cut them out and get them laminated. This makes em tough and durable against the rigours of gaming.

Planets
Although the preiview images are all the same size the actual files are different sizes as mention below...

Click on the images below (or right-click and "save target as") to see the full-size image.

10" Gas Giant Planet

Another 10" Gas Giant

9" Settled Industrial World

8" Earth-like Planet

8" Earth-like Arid-Planet

6" Alien Planet

6" Ice World

6" Verdant Uninhabited World

Dust Clouds
All designed to be printed on an A4 page and then cut out as a rectangle or as a random shape.

Click on the images below (or right-click and "save target as") to see the full-size image.

nice! I like the industrial world one! Some of those nebulas looks familiar, sourced from hubble photos?

What game are you playing? My friends and I are trying out starmada again after about a year since the last time.

mate of mine put up a battle report of one of the game, I was playing the blue ships and I won!

I picked up a model set to make our solar system so I got a bunch of plastic globes to play planets with. Lazy to get them painted though...

Right then CJ:

What do they call the maps where they are split into what almost looks like orange-sections? If they were done like that they would fold over a globe wouldn''t they?

get those in a format that can be printed on to decal sheet then wrapped over a globe.

polystyrene craft globes - cost around 50p to about £3.00 depending on size.

i can also get softwood globes made but i think the polystyrene globes are the easiest and cheapest.

They are great, I like the industrial one too.

Is that a borg on the surface ?

The industrial one looks like Google Earth air photo of my area of Nottingham

the easiest way is to think of a name for the system and assign numbers to the planets... Jester IV or something...

if you can't think of a name, VBAM have got a campaign map with the star systems near to our own. Most of the names are quite boring though. maybe Eridani?

A friend of mine has an airbrushed 6'x4' play mat that looks very similar to the first of the dust clouds.

Now if only i was good at freehand with my airbrush that might be a market to investigate
