The GM had built up quite a few gothic style ruins by way of GW and Pegasus kits. I’d like a different look for my table, so decided to go with the Age of Sigmar and Lord of the Rings kits to get started. Before we got too […]
It was July when I wrote my rant—a whining about my frustration with making desert terrain. But my vexation finally is subsiding. Progress has been made. The breakthrough came when, after innumerable experiments with color schemes, I finally decided upon the colors I would use for my desert […]
Moving forward with the next terrain challenge! A small pool of eldritch goo, industrial effluent, or ectoplasmic slime. Using some bits lying around, we decided to make a quick natural pool. Main bits are a cork trivet and wood chips. We’ll also add sand and flock. For the […]
The Nova Open is a wonderful gaming convention held in suburban Washington, D.C. Recently, I was able to spend a day walking through the dealer hall and tournament area, and I took a few photos for inspiration in my terrain-building. I thought I’d share them. The above is […]
I finally have finished a pair of tank traps to serve on the battlefields of the desert worlds of the Corvus Cluster. I first referenced my efforts on this terrain project in an earlier rant, “A story of frustration: Making desert terrain.” In that blog, I complained that […]

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 […]
