In preparation for the Shorehammer 2023 convention, I’m building a jungle table. But I had this idea to rid myself of the large bases that usually are part of tabletop trees. Why? I’ve got quite a few trees with bases, and I’ll keep using them. But, for Shorehammer, […]
TheGM: Although I have months to prepare my jungle table for the Shorehammer Convention, I’ve gotten an early start on play-testing the scenarios that I’m hosting. What has play-testing to do with terrain? Everything. It’s not enough to built nice-looking trees and scatter terrain. Or painted buildings or […]
The Gaffer: The maniacs at Tabletop World have made another stand-alone piece that will be added to a larger table. Here, they are building a hanger for the Stormbird model from Forge World. The first video focuses on the basic structure of the hanger:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s34JWiHDW1w In the second […]
These maniacs begin the first of several winter terrain boards for Kill Team, I mean Shadow Wars Armageddon. an older Games Workshop skirmish game we play. One of the things I like about work on one terrain board at a time is that it builds on success and […]
How far can I push the envelope when it comes to building high-quality jungle terrain? That’s the question I’m going to answer in 2023. I’ve long wanted some really nice jungle terrain, and at last year’s Historicon gaming convention in Lancaster, Pa., I saw a table that really […]

TheGM: When a blog doesn’t publish anything for more than a month, that’s often a sign that the blog is running out of steam. That’s not the case with the Corvus Cluster. The lack of postings actually is a sign of how busy I am are creating content—specifically […]
If you’ve followed the Mos Eisley Project, you know that we’re working to create a tabletop desert town that’s similar to the infamous backwater community highlighted in the original Star Wars movie. We want to make it as cool as possible. That means we need to add some […]
As I work on building a backwater, desert town for our 40K narrative campaign, I’m confronting a minor but interesting aesthetic challenge: How do I blend together my 3D-printed, Star Wars-themed buildings with some resin buildings depicting structures more suitable to a medieval-through-20th Century setting? If you’ve read […]
TheGM: Back in February, I talked about the Mos Eisley Project—our plan to build a large and highly detailed desert city with a look inspired by the Star Wars movies. As I noted back then, the Corvus Cluster isn’t starting a Star Wars campaign on Tatooine. It’s just […]
