Anyway, enough griping.

It’s Bank Holiday weekend, my wife and I have agreed we’re having a stay-at-home day today, so I’m actually “doing hobby”!
I didn’t get the Demon Ship game when it launched – mainly because it wasn’t actually a launch and the author has confirmed that the files are still not ready for release.

So while I’m waiting for the rules to become available, I put together some floor tiles (from the Kill Team stls from Dragon’s Rest) and start making some clip-together 3×3 boards.

What’s with the weird laser-cut bit of mdf with holes in it?
Well, that’s for my 10mm, 0.5mm thick disc magnets.

One thing I really liked about the Demon Ship previous was the creator had put magnets in his terrain – so not only did they all lock together, but they all stuck down firmly onto the board.
I figured I could do the same with my minis, and that way, when you move a piece into a square on the board, they’d always sit in the dead-centre of the square. That could actually prove useful for a slightly different project I’m working on….

In the meantime, it means that my board, terrain and minis are all nicely pulling together, making it really hard to knock anything over or accidentally nudge things around.

I’m still really excited to see how Demon Ship plays.
But even if the game itself stinks, I’ll end up with some cool terrain and some nice mix-and-match floor tiles to play other games with too!
