Snowflake Hexes...

To prevent the Hexes from shifting (they are very lightweight so they shift at the slightest touch, creating gaps in the terrain and unhinging your carefully laid-out battlefield) the Hex Terrain Toolkit offers a very elegant sollution: the snowflake Hex...

These intricately shaped Hexes are designed to 'grip' the neighbouring Hexes, much like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. These Hexes are meant to be used as a foundation, a layer upon which you can build your terrain.

While the snowflake Hexes are absolutely essential to create a smooth Hex battlefield, they are quite tricky to cut. If done right, they take some time, but the result is worth the time and effort.

The snowflake Hexes all have a Hexagonal hole, corresponding with a smaller Hex, glued to the bottom of the regular Hexes. This is the simplified version of this system, the Hex Terrain Toolkit also provides a more complex version.
