Two Dollar Jungle Templates
At long last, the Abox clan can rumble in the jungle. The local craft store chain is selling some sort of plastic plant doo-hickeys for about a buck, and two of them are enough to make a slew of jungle stands. In this case, I’ve mounted the plants themselves...
Pocket Battlefield
Calling this roughly 2-foot by 3-foot mat “pocket” stretches the definition, but it surely is portable. Nothing really special here, just a heavy canvas bolt of cloth dusted with three different dark colors of spray paint. Although, I’d be remiss if I didn’t give a lot of credit to...
Most Boring Gang Yet
Rebel Mini’s BioHazard Zombie Hunters are great sculpts with a lot of potential, and at $6.50 for a full 12-man gang, too hard a temptation to resist. As it stands, this pack gives me a shooter force in body suits armed with only a couple of pistols (can you say...
Lock Up Your Sons
Meet the Electric Knights, my daughter’s Not-romunda “gang”. She picked the colors, the font for the bases, and named them all. While trimming the old leader’s pistol down, things went south, and I had to make a new one. So I pressed a Laserburn crew member with a law...
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...
