Although I haven’t written much about my preparations for the Shorehammer Convention later this year, I’ve been pretty busy building terrain, painting figures and—tah dah!—a new cargo box to make transporting my convention games a tad easier. It’s called my Shorehammer Cargo Crate. Some time ago, I reported […]
I’ve been slowly creating a mutant army as part of the narrative story of the desert world of Morkai. Already, there have been a few military clashes between the mutants and Imperial authorities, and I’m thinking of expanding Morkai’s troubles with a full-scale civil war. As part of […]
We have a fair bit of terrain to hide behind and some nice buildings and industrial pieces. However, neither TheGM nor I have gotten around to building an Aegis Line. It’s pretty unsatisfying to have a nice table set up and then have to look at a bunch […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s been a while since we’ve built up some new terrain. So to help ourselves out, we’re setting some goals. About every 10 days (two weekends) we want to finish up a small terrain project. Or work towards finishing up a larger piece (or both). We’ll be making […]
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 […]
The Surfoam is a valuable tool for any hobbyist who works with rigid insulation foam—Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)—for building terrain. Essentially a specialized rasp, the cutting edge of a Surfoam looks similar to a cheese grater attached to a handle. It is commonly available in DIY stores, such as Home […]
