Goldilocks and the Three Scales

A funny thing happened while teaching my kids how to play Necromunda in 15mm.  We played two different games, one in the big rocket using the standard movement and ranges in inches, and one in the urban terrain converting all measurements to centimeters. We test drove this WIP terrain –...

Working on The Ladies

My 12 year old daughter decided she wanted in on a little bit of the Not-Romunda action, and after a bit of shopping she settled on an all girl force composed mainly of Rebel Miniatures Black Widow Mercs and Khurasan’s Gunboat Marines with a sprinkling of Laserburn adventurers.  That keeps us...

The Big One

That building is crazy big…  But it has to be in order to hold the bridges safe and sound… Both of them, for now…...

Solutions Everywhere

Retro-future-cities should look something like this: My buildings are too boxy for that.  A complete overhaul would blow the ability to pack it all into one tidy box right out of the aetherium.  What to do, what to do?  We’re gonna need the right paint scheme and some baubles...

Shoots and Ladders

Before we get to the ladders, we’re going to let the suspense simmer for just a few more minutes to look at another little trick.  In addition to the ladders, this terrain has three staircases.  They are made from art matting board and use the “figure base sized stair...

Strategery, Blog Style

Here’s the thing.  I’m working on a new urban terrain board at the moment, and for the most part using standard construction and detailing techniques.  Rather than repeat what others have said numerous times, I’m just gonna chime in and point out new little wrinkles on the old stand...

Monster? I hardly knew her!

Khurasan’s tentacles star beasts are on the menu today.  Those arms look really wormy, so I painted them worm brown.  Instead of a green slime beast, I also went with a white hairy thing with brightly colored feathers.  Those feathers make it look like these guys are wearing bright...

Moving on…

The big rocket served us well, and will continue to do so in the days to come.  But it’s been a project almost 4 months in the making, and I’m getting a little eager to move on to something more traditional.  S’okay, though, because it’s done enough for government...

Game On! Not-romunda

This past weekend I finally had everything in place to introduce my son to the glories of Necromunda by way of 15mm figures and the great big ISS Major Tom.  The process was fairly painless as the boy has a firm grounding in the basics of the GW game...

Medic!

The Big Ship already has a med-tank for fixing Wampa bites, but it needs a medical bunk for less invasive and critical care.  Hence, the med-scan bunk.  This doohickey was built from card stock and wood bits. With paint it looks a lot more medicish: Put it inside a...
