Episode 2 takes pace at the docks where the villains do villainous things and the heroes are raiding to stop them. So, there have to be docks. Specifically two docks. One roughly 16" long and another about 10" long. Already have the 16" dock from Blood & Plunder games. Never got around to painting it,... Continue Reading →
Continuing with the buildings for Lurkers form the Deep, Episode 2. In the back corner of the map in the Feature Pack there is a barn. Small, unassuming, should be easy to build. Why buy a kit? More than enough scrap material lying around. Now I'm wondering what an assuming barn would be like. Son2... Continue Reading →
A pallet cleanser before doing more terrain for Lurkers From The Deep. Sometimes one needs a break and a change. Buildings and boards are great, but miniature figures are the real focus of the hobby. These are from Crooked Dice as part of the Dracula Kickstarter. That's probably going to be the next project I... Continue Reading →
Continuing work on the board for Episode 2. It requires a a few small buildings, described in the Feature Pack as shops and shacks. The drawing on them makes them look like buildings most often associated with the Old West. Front facades, plank walkways, and not too big. I was tempted to scratch build them,... Continue Reading →
When you read The Shadow Over Innsmouth (and you should) you will find references to the Marsh Refinery. It's not clear how the Refinery stays in business or what they even refine. The main character simply accepts what information is provided to him. The reader, however, is left with a clear sense that something is... Continue Reading →
While still waiting to finish the board for Episode 1, I decided to start on Episode 2. Those pesky train cars are still missing and I need to figure out what I plan to do for them. More plotting and planning, less buying MDF train models. Good time to start looking at the board for... Continue Reading →
It was getting obvious that there was a problem. My boards. My boards are flat and boring. My buildings are good, but there is too much open space. I was in desperate (relatively) need of more clutter. Clutter I got. To paint! My clutter comes from a previous Kickstarter from Terrain Crate. I highly recommend... Continue Reading →
Continuing with the Lurkers builds, I see the the factory in Episode 1 has a gantry that characters can climb to. My factory... no gantry. So, I make a gantry. Why? Good question. It's not like the players will ever climb there. I have found in my exhaustive research that players rarely think three-dimensionally and... Continue Reading →
This past weekend in beautiful and historic Williamsburg, Va, the Old Dominion Military Society held it's annual Muster. Three days of gaming and shopping along with the requisite drinking and catching up with old friends. Not nearly as big as other US conventions, Historicon with it's thousands and GenCon with tens of thousands, the Muster... Continue Reading →
I have all of the miniatures painted and ready, I hope, for Crooked Dice's "Lurkers From The Deep" Feature Pack for 7TV. Now it's time to turn my attention to the terrain. The buildings, vehicles, and other filler fill two vital roles when playing wargames. First, these terrain features break up the game play area. Buildings block line... Continue Reading →
