Quite often we’ll have some terrain sitting off board just to look nice and a large Thunderhawk would be nice to have on the table for eye candy. (Especially if there is one available and is sitting in a box somewhere.) With the Orky Air armada growing, one […]
Things have gotten out of control in my workroom. Taking a class at night, along with the end-of-fiscal-year madness took a toll and pretty much kept me away from the hobby most of the summer through mid-October. We try to work on several projects at a time in […]
TheGaffer has been off-line for quite a while working, drum majoring, working, bagpiping, and working. It’s been quite a long time since we’ve had an opportunity to play regularly, build terrain, or post to our blog. Freshly returned from Historicon, we’re jumping back in. Also, stepping down as […]
The idea of adding more vegetation to my desert world of Morkai seems, to some degree, a contradiction with the image of a desert. But anyone who has visited the American Southwest understands that not all arid ecosystems are totally desolate. My vision is that there are are […]
About a year ago, I ordered a bag of eight-inch-tall palm trees from China. They arrived quickly, and they were of excellent quality. All they needed was a good base. That’s what stymied me. If you look back on my initial efforts to build desert terrain, I was […]

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 […]
