Printed terrain tiles?
I’m honestly so thankful the printer only decided to die after I got the terrain project finished. It would’ve killed all the motivation I had to getting a game started.
Thanks for the advice. My players are all well aware that I’m a baby DM and they fully expect it to be a rough, choppy campaign that’s harder for me than it is for them. But if we all have fun, the next campaign will be better, and so will the next.

Those look great!
I suck at the painting part so they never quite look right for me.

Thanks! The painting is much easier than you might think. The models I printed have indents for the brick mortar (don’t know if that’s the right word), so I spray painted everything black, then used a sponge brush to quickly paint the bricks gray while leaving the black lines. Used a small brush to paint some of the bricks brown, a napkin to dab some green over everything, then a basic wash layer (tiny drop of brown/ black paint in a bunch of water) to finish it off.
Terrain and buildings are easier to paint than minis and figurines and whatnot. I have very, very little painting experience, but things like this are easy to make look good. Keep trying if you’re not happy with how yours looks, the next one will always look better than the last!
