Category: 15mm terrain

Last year was the year of the One Hour Wargames Big Box.  This year is going to be the year of sci-fi scatter terrain, with some digressions into 15mm fantasy wargaming, and hopefully more games on the table. To kick things off right, here’s my take on advertisement boxes...

As we leave 2015 behind, let’s look ahead to the coming year.  The blog’s focus heading into the New Year is going to be stuffing as much scatter terrain into the sci-fi box as possible.  Right now the sci-fi table has the necessary big structure to it, but is...

Scatter terrain.  You’d be hard pressed to ever have enough of it on your urban table.  Mine was sorely lacking in viable vehicles.  Matchbox cars are passable, but they just don’t tie together with the rest of the terrain.  There are a couple in this old shot, and you...

Been daydreaming about a new Big Box of terrain specifically for the infiltration missions that are an expected part of Osprey’s Black Ops rules.  The top of one building – maybe two connected by multiple walkways or leapable gaps – should be plenty big enough for a stealth mission....

In anticipation of a new terrain build – 15mm interiors something along the lines of Tiny Solitary Soldiers – here are a few pieces of scatter cover.  First up, three plastic trees.  These are repainted Toob Trees primed black and dry brushed up.   The bases of the trees are fortification pieces from...

Man, I have got to find some decent scenarios for Flying Lead.  The boy and I lined up 450 points worth of evenly matched forces against each other and just did a shoot-em-til-they’re-dead match.  This time it was his space mercs (GZG) attacking my police force.  After more than...

The single most important tool in a wargaming arsenal is probably one of the more over-looked – the humble table.  The last thirteen months Team Abox lived in a dingy and tiny little rental house while saving up for a mortgage.  Last month that dream came true, and my...

It’s hard to be a middle-aged wargamer who doesn’t own a table.  Living in limbo while searching for a decent place to live forced your humble host to choose between comfort (a sofa) and utility (a table).  Comfort won in a landslide.  Tonight, though, tonight things worked out such that...

Just a couple of quick shots of one layout showing the whole town.  This should give you an idea how the paint scheme for the houses is bright and varied, but hangs together as a whole. Gimme some time, and I’ll lay it out with all the trimmings to...

Various life adventures stalled work on the one box sci-fi terrain, but we’re back in business.  The last three buildings are all painted and clear coated.  Two small buildings and the big old factory-style behemoth wrap up that phase of construction. The balcony cover on that big building looks...
