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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

My son received a few more Imperial Guardsmen from a friend this Christmas.  He knows that if he plays a game with them sans paint, that his old man will feel such overwhelming shame that he’ll take the dang things and paint them for him.  He did it to...

Of course the title of today’s post is referring to college football season (and the reason for my recent silence).  January 1 really needs to be rechristened as the Feast of Saint Football.  Congratulations to Alabama – it’s nice to have a legitimate national champion again. Sad as it...

This cargo bay is off to a good start.  As it stands, it’s kind of like a rock band – it’s just not complete without any drums.  It looks a little sparse, but I don’t want to take up too much valuable gaming real-estate, so once I block a...
