TheGM: Most blogs about terrain-building are how-to articles . . . or visual celebrations of a hobbyist finishing a terrain project. Not this time. My story is about frustration—and no small number of setbacks. Much of the fault lies with myself. I am overly ambitious at times, and […]
This is a project we’ve had on our bench for quite a while. With a 50% off coupon from the local Michael’s Hobby Shop, this bunch of red-dyed grass was about $8. We had only a couple washers left from another project so we only could only make […]
We’ve had this kit for quite a while. Now that the projects that were left hanging are done, it’s time to get this puppy built and up. This should be a fun little project. I’ll post a pic of the other materials a little later. The Corvus […]
TheGaffer has been in hiatus since the fall. Still working on terrain and playing games here and there. However, bagpiping, finishing my game room, and of course work (which makes the other three possible) has taken up more time than posting on the blog. Hopefully that will change […]
We made the deadline for the first piece. This is our next project. The deadline will be Sunday, November 5; two weekends and the days in between with a few more since we’re posting this two days early. Hopefully we’ll get someone else from the club to join […]

The Tau are a technologically advanced race with an elegant sense of aesthetics—and thus an architecture far different from the brutish and darkly gothic look of Imperial buildings. As I have a sizable Tau army—and my goal is to expand the Tau presence throughout the Corvus Cluster—it seemed […]
We continue to add bits of terrain to our wargaming table collection. A little over a year ago we started with rough-looking area terrain tiles and have added pieces along the way. You can check out our method for prepping MDF so it does not warp in a blog […]
Small terrain pieces are always appreciated on a game table. Not only can they serve as a strategically placed piece of terrain, a well-built bit of terrain adds atmosphere to the sci-fi setting of any battlefield in the Corvus Cluster. I confess, however, that I’m guilty of being […]
In between painting figures, we’re building up our collection of 40k terrain. We want something modular that could be an orky mektown, mining area, or a stronghold depending on how the pieces are arranged. The WH40k rule book mentions several pieces of ‘battlefield debris,’ one of which is a […]
