One cheap and easy, and light on the storage requirements, method to add more flavor to the 2.5d dungeon is to use inserts.  So far my dungeon has five of these clever little devices.  Rather than an unending series of black floors, these pieces of cardstock can be dropped...

In The Garage The best time for painting – at least for middle-aged family men for whom this hobby is at the bottom of a long, long list of things to do – is that magic hour between seeing the kids off to bed and when days tribulations finally...

The last Black Ops battle fought in the Abox house pitted a group of Prang! trying to capture and contain a force of Octopods.  This time around we switched the sides. The Prang! started out in the center of the board, with the Octopods on the outskirts.  It didn’t go...

Looking at my so-called city board, something about it always seemed off to me.  It wasn’t until this weekend, while cruising what I think of as the Infiniti terrain-porn* sites, that I realized what it was.  The board was too rural.  The earth and grass speaks more of suburbia than...

Four cars and two bikes doesn’t do much to make a city table look well inhabited.  It makes it look like more of a hamlet than an urban center.  To that end, here are two more flit cars – four seaters this time, and a big bruising taxicab.  All...

These fine jetbikes are available from 15mm.co.uk.  Just a simple paintjob this time out. That makes a total of another 18 pieces of scatter terrain for the sci-fi table.  Now, to do something about the far too rural looking drop cloth.  All this scatter terrain works much better on...

As mentioned previously, the electrical aisle of your local hardware store is a great place to find little bitty odd shaped things that belong in your bits box.  Today, I want to show you how I turned a few of these bitty bits into a decent smattering of scatter...

 In a Black Ops battle featuring two newly painted forces, a small Octopod task force has been discovered operating deep inside Prang!* territory.  The 12 man group of conscripts including one leader (Ace) and one RPG toting heavy (for a total of 54 points) have regrouped inside a...

I’ve had these lovely little frog-men painted up for weeks, but just hadn’t had time to photograph and post them.  Sculpted by the talented Eli Arndt, these stocky fellows have landed smack in the middle of The Ion Age, where they are sure to make a splash.  These are...

There’s no way around it – big multi-layer pieces of terrain just aren’t going to fit into a small box. So let’s just stick with a one level floor plan. Everybody and his uncle uses some variation of rectangular or hex-based tiles for their terrain.  But since this is...
