Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, peeps.  How about some nice Irish standing stones to celebrate. These are actual stones, based on 12mm steel washers and painted up in colors to match the river stones.  The steel washers secure the stones to magnets that line the transport box.  The bases were...

As promised, the outdoor tiles are complete.  The rivers don’t line up nearly as well as hoped, but they do provide tactical, interest to each board.  Here you can see a 1-tile offset, hardly the end of the world. No flocking on these boards – it would look HUGE!...

A good friend bailed me out of some personal drama (loaned me a spare car when my transmission went ker-chunk). Our kids are both into 40K, and after a recent battle, a couple of his terrain pieces wound up in our box.  As a partial thanks for the loaner,...

Construction ended on the sewers beneath Cornerstone Keep.  The last step is a thick spray of dull coat to protect the work.  Otherwise, these tiles are ready for the minions of the Rat King and the adventurers to slay them.  As promised, I’ll spare you the details on the...

Work progresses on the sewers.  Black spray paint, white drybrush on the tiles, and one tile grayed up a bit.  The color gradations on this terrain are subtle; they are the details that you only don’t notice when they aren’t there.  Here’s a comparison of the white (left) with...

Last time you saw the first of what should be several outdoor terrain tiles.  These open up the field of play, but if you’re going to have an open field, you might as well just use gridded paper.  The whole point of the tiles is to present a 3D...

Friday morning: Half-inch hail hit the yard.  I live in Hawaii,it’s not every day that frozen water falls from the sky here. Despite the deluge, on Friday I primed the sewers in flat white and hit them with a coat of black oil stain.  It’s not nearly dark enough,...

Enough of the playing coy with the goods.  Here’s the very first terrain board.  If you look close, you can spot the two examples of textures that I used in the last blog post.  You’re looking down the long axis of a corridor three squares wide with a sewage...

With the construction plan in place, or at least as in place as its going to get until it meets first contact with the enemy, we can now set about building the first dungeon tiles.  I’ll spare you the details on the campaign background for now – it’s enough...

So if 8″ geomorph tiles aren’t going to work, what is? That is the question. After a day of mulling it over and several hours of research (read: trawling the internet), it occurred to me that making flat terrain tiles for 10-mm figures is a fairly low cost and...
