Hi all, I've recently been getting really into AoTP as a long time Magic player and boardgame fan returning to hobbies after a bit of a break.
I found the forums but have noticed quite a lack of posts!
So I thought I'd make an account and post some of the 1v1 map designs I've been creating using the old Heroscape RoTV tiles. Apologies to those who don't have them, but I find the game 1000x better in 3D form than using the flat boards provided in the games boxes.
All the games detailed below are using the base set of AoTP, my Innistrad box is unfortunately still in the post!

I don't really have a name for the first map, it was my initial foray into design after years of not playing miniature games so it didn't really have much symmetry, however it provided quite a quick assassination of Nissa with Jace using spells and his minions abilities to teleport in and out of combat.
This second map was more even, the three stone pillars being placeholders for the Cryptoliths once I get them in the SoI expansion. It played out quite well and most of the match had Nissa kiting Gideon around the map as he bashed through her rangers and put a bit of damage on her. He eventually ended up being ganged up by some of the
elementals in the middle of the river. Glyphs were placed on top of the pillars/cryptoliths, with speed in the middle and 
/
on the outer too. We started at opposite corners of the map and it was a very fun game!
I haven't had a chance to play on this map yet but am hoping to get one soon! The bridge in the middle was created from plaster casted blocks (molds courtesy of Hirsts Arts) that I'd found laying around in a box from a few years back. I intend to shuffle the glyphs and have 1 in the middle of the bridge, with the other two sitting on the slightly raised stone platforms at the edge of the water/sand.
Let me know what you think guys, and feel free to add your RoTV designs below!
Cheers, happy spellcasting!

I've seen other pics sitting in the middle of posts so if somebody could help me out that would be great. For now here's the links to the imgur for each.
