RAILROADS AND WAR

Armored Train

The next NO QUARTER is going to feature some information on a IK Supply Train. I thought I would discuss the role that railroads play during war time. Although I am drawing my information from the use of war trains during the American Civil War, much of the information may be applicable ...

SKUNKED BY A MONK

I played a multiplayer game Wednesday night at WHATEVER!! against Larry and Scott. I was getting in another game to practice for the upcoming SUMMER RAMPAGE event.

Larry was using Servath Reznik.

Scott had Hoarluk Doomshaper.

NEW TERRAIN PROJECT … PART ONE

M.T.H. Gondola Junk Load

I bought this M.T.H. Gondola Junk Load insert while I was on vacation in Maryland last year. It was on clearance. The regular price is $8.95 but it was 50% off so I paid less. I bought two of them. I figured that in the future I would be ...

SHELL CASINGS

The next time you’re wandering around your favorite craft store make sure to stop over to the jewelry section and browse through the Crimp Tubes and Crimp Beads. If you can find some copper or gold colored Crimps, pick them up. They make excellent basing materials for simulating Shell Casings. I buy large and ...

TERRAIN: GROUNDWORK

Learning to make good Groundwork templates is an essential skill in terrain making and building.

Simple Groundwork Template Terrain

Begin your project with easy to find materials. I will be using thin plywood, Titebond white glue, green putty, vinyl spackling, and basing supplies (sand, flock, static grass, talus.) These templates can be used as generic groundwork templates ...
