Coastal Forces Bases and Basecoats

Coastal Forces Bases and Basecoats

I decided to change the painting method for the coastal forces project, adopting the same approach I have used in the past for my pre-dreadnoughts. Instead of painting then basing the models, I’m doing the basing first and the painting afterwards. The models are glued on to the textured bases and then will have a…

Once more unto the breach.... Maldon (again)

 Only a few of us turned up for our pre Christmas meet up as everyone else had other things on. John produced the ‚Battle of Maldon‘, which we’ve done several times before but works well as it is pretty simple but thought provoking and can take a fair number of players as teams. A brief…

Hawaiian Terrain for Tribal

Hawaiian Terrain for Tribal

The tiki is from a cheap key chain with a base of Tamiya epoxy putty, and repainted. The trunk and fronds of the coconut trees were dry brushed. If I had known I’d be doing an Hawaiian game project, I would’ve bought a few more of these tiki keychains when I was in Hawaii last…
