Sewers of Cornerstone Keep
With the construction plan in place, or at least as in place as its going to get until it meets first contact with the enemy, we can now set about building the first dungeon tiles. I’ll spare you the details on the campaign background for now – it’s enough...
The Halfway Solution
So if 8″ geomorph tiles aren’t going to work, what is? That is the question. After a day of mulling it over and several hours of research (read: trawling the internet), it occurred to me that making flat terrain tiles for 10-mm figures is a fairly low cost and...
Dungeon Mapping
Let’s think about this for a minute. Dungeon design for miniature use presents some unique challenges. You have to balance the feel of discovery of the unknown with replayability. At one end of the spectrum you have board games with a set single dungeon (like Dungeon) where the only...
New Project: Back to the Roots
With the latest car wars debacle still fresh in mind, it’s time to completely jump genres and scales. It’s time to get back to my dungeon crawling roots. It’s been a few years since I’ve hosted a dungeon crawl, and this is as good a time as any. Some...
Kid’s Stuff Redux
It’s a travel week for me, and that means no update on my late, lamented project. Time to cut my losses and move on from the car wars highway. While I figure out what to do next, here’s a quick shot of my son’s latest acquisition: Warhammer 40K Cadian...
Leaping Lizards!
This post is the big reveal post. Here’s where we see exactly what the highway of death will look on the table, complete in all its miniature wargaming splendor. Cars, terrain, the whole shebang. This is the culmination of weeks of effort. It’s gonna be so satisfying. It’s gonna...
Still In A Box
The addition of 8-square feet of highway terrain requires an upgrade in the box department. They won’t fit in this one: So we have to move up to one of these.: The trees and billboards and smoke fit into the metal can in the left. We now have room...
Eight Feet of Duelling Ground
Finished! Using the wrong kind of dip meant this project took twice as long as it should have. But now, at long last, here’s a full eight feet of Hawai’ian roadway just waiting for some auto-duelling mayhem. Look upon my works ye mighty wargamers and despair: It’s still a...
Quick Update
Quick update for now. The post-crash Hawaiian highways have some paint back on the ground and some trees based up. Nothing fancy. Not a fan of that greenish plastic for the fronds on the trees, but it’ll do for now....
The Grass is Always Greener
That took a lot more static grass than I’d hoped. Static grass is probably the most expensive part of this terrain, and with all the non-playable surface on these tiles, it took a lot of it. Two lane divided highways are possible with this set up,but only very...
