Four trees, actually.  Nine more pieces of scatter terrain – what the cool kids are calling street furniture these day – have been added to the table for cover. When it comes to small bits of raw material for scratch-building, the electric aisle of your local hardware store is...

Quick shot of some bystanders for 15mm sci-fi games.  First up, four dudes in space suits of one sort or another.  I think they are all from 15mm.co.uk.  From left to right:  ?, HOF57A, HOF86C, and HOF86C Can’t find that guy on the left anywhere on 15mm.co.uk’s website,...

Happy Labor Day.  For my labor of the day, I finished off some river pieces. A single piece of 3-inch by 24-inch bass wood was enough to make five feet of rivers.  Using the RAW, you’ll never need more than 36-inches of river, but with three lengths of unbroken...

Completing a full set of terrain and matched armies for use with OHW is the big goal for 2015.  So far the terrain is about half done, and the armies are half done.  This weekend, the second army got bumped up a few slots on the all-too-long to-do list....

Got the first couple of strips of 6mm skellies painted for the boy’s medieval force.  He asked for a main color of purple, but wasn’t sure what secondary color would work best.  This is a bit of a test strip to see if a second primary color is even...

Remember that plain old terry cloth battle mat I showed you last week? For those who don’t. It looks great! Using a two-inch brush, I just dry brushed the whole darn thing in one short evening.  Before starting, I polished up the three terrain bases by adding static grass,...

Last time we looked at the forest base.  This time let’s look at the canopies for the still as yet unrevealed new project era. What you’re looking at is a cheap and easy alternative to the method used by these clever chaps here.  Their forests look great, but they...

The most colorful member of the party, in more ways than one, must be my character, a dwarven tank named Henry St. John.  He actually dual wields two light hammers, but the figure came with a hammer and axe.  The axe went to yesterday’s dragon-born paladin, and the dragon-born’s...

Sometimes it takes a dragon to beat a dragon.  The toughest character in our party running the Tyranny of Dragons gauntlet is the dragonborn warrior, Karran.  This paladin is a white-dragon blooded tank of a hero.  Unlike the three previous characters in the party, the guy playing this character...

Aramis, cleric of Helm, tank-slash-healbot extraordinaire, and all around good guy.  He has been instrumental in cracking the tyranny of dragons campaign.   Fifth edition clerics seem like a hard class to play.  They have so many options at every level of the game, there’s a lot to track...
