Termites!
DIY Termite Mounds The first piece of jungle terrain I've chosen to build is a set of termite mounds as scatter terrain to block line of sight. These clusters are quite common in Africa and in the case of the Azande, termites were and still are a part of the diet. There is even an… Continue reading Termites!
