Fire Up the Joan Baez
Yep. This bad boy is going in the spaceship, too....
Flashback Update
Remember way back when I first posted the construction of these bunkers? Yeah… Since I ran out of figures, I went ahead and painted them up....
Close Encounter of the Second Kind
“Visual sightings of aliens or physical effects on animate and inanimate objects.” Starting a blog post with a definition, how lame. Hopefully the rest of the post makes up for it. It’s no secret that Matakishi’s Tea House has been inspirational for this sci-fi project, and one of the...
No Son of Mine!
“But Dad,” the boy tells me, “It’s okay, everybody plays with unpainted terrain!” “Not in this house,” I bark at him. “So long as you live under my roof, you’ll play by my rules.” Which is a bold faced lie, as 40K is anything but my rules. We’ll let...
Turns Out We Have Vehicles
Rummaging through the treasure trove that is the box of random toys in my son’s collection turned up these little numbers. Perfect scale for 10mm gaming, but I have only the vaguest memory of picking them up years ago at the local library’s used book sale of all places....
Landing Pad – Post-Paint
With this landing pad, I finally pulled the trigger on the whole ‘sponsoring megacorp’ thing. This colony is brought to you by the fine folks at Buy ‘N Large. Anybody know where I can find a suitable Wall-E miniature? Scale doesn’t matter, if they are 25mm scale, they’ll just...
Landing Pad – Pre-Paint
The human colonists now have a way to get on and off planet. One custom made rocket landing pad with spare fuel tanks, access ramp, and matching rocks and plants to tie it into the rest of the terrain....
Full Table Look-See
For 10mm miniatures, nine square feet of table space is more than enough room for battle. With a standard six inch move for the fast figures it’ll take six full turns to cross the table, not counting detours to avoid terrain. To keep the colors as consistent as possible,...
10mm Hills – Literally
These hills are 10mm tall – just enough to block line of sight for all but the biggest miniatures. Rules-wise they block sight for everyone, but this way they’ll fit into the one box. They are built of two layers of 5mm foamcore glued together and carved to suit....
Quick Project
Banged out a quick terrain piece for the alien world last night. The colonists need some excuse to move into the neighborhood, and this mining outpost gives it to them. Lot of blank (advertising space on the front of this piece. Might fill that up with a printed sign...
