I made this project in response to an xlbs about gaming tables "Does less terrain mean more game". An overview of some gaming tables I set-up for some games I played.

This is my spot for all of the little hobby bits that aren't related to a specific game–or that are too minor to be worth turning into a full project.

Last week, the Beastie Boys introduced us to the new Heroforge 2.0 website. Make your own heroes! they said. So I did

I made a hot wire cutter. But while thrilled with the ability to cut foam, I was less than impressed with the finish on the cut pieces.

My continued journey of miniture painting in 2020

Hot wire cutters are brilliant for slicing up styrofoam for making terrain. But they're so darned expensive. At least, those tabletop ones are. And they're little more than a bit of a wire and a low voltage (DC) current. So […]

You might remember my paintathon project from 2019. If not, follow this link: https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1442359/ This year I'll be painting my Blood Bowl Snotling Team with Troll. After that, the 40k Indomitus box gets a kick.

A project for all the miniatures that have no home.

Everyone need scenery, right? Boards look bloody empty if we don't bother with it... But what about accuracy? What would things look like in the real world? We can't look out of our windows and see all possible scenery there […]

The end is in sight. Out of the 2200ish models I own I only currently have 63 left to paint, so why not share the final push with everyone and watch me accidentally buy and print faster than I paint […]

This here will be a selection of YouTube channels that are discussing the topics surrounding all things miniature wargaming. Please add Channels in the comments, I will add them to the project later.

This will be a grab bag of terrain projects, mainly for fantasy skirmish games like Frostgrave. I'll have a mixture of scratch-built, kits and 3d-prints here.

The rest of the year is likely to be without club games, it is probably time to get some terrain sorted for playing at home.

Reorganize my hobby space with hobyzone

In a turnabout from the norm of me sending out packages I received a delivery from Blinky465. In it there was a small band of Amazons he had printed.

For the longest time, all I've wanted to do is create a game, with the growing interest in the board and tabletop games I figured this would be a good time to finally start getting ideas together and put together […]

Come one, come all! See the most vaguely inconsistent extravaganza that no one really thinks about but if they did they'd be mildly misanthropic about it! Slow off the heels of my last adventure comes a tale so confusing that […]

Bit of a micro project but I just discovered what the kids would call a ‘life hack’ and wanted to share. (I couldn’t get this to load as a single entry so please hit ‘view oldest first’ before continuing).

Painting up some extra units for Konflikt'47 US Army.

I have always wanted to build a gaming board but never got round to it, either through lack of funds or confidence. Anyway I’ve decided what am I waiting for let’s just see what I can come up with

I want better lighting on my project desk, so I have opted to build an LED arch light for maximum light and maximum shadow reduction.

I practice a Korean karate style called Kong Sudo. Whilst we've been in lock down our club has been doing a weekly art challenge - mainly drawing an animal or theme associated with our forms (forms are sequences of moves […]

I am experimenting with incorporating contrast paints into my repertoire, and am trying out different things here and there. I find that only using contrast paints on stark whiteish undercoats tend to become a but muggy or rough, and are […]

In this project I will experiment with basing techniques to get a nice wintery base for some future projects.

I try and unbox and rebox a bunch of old projects and build 22 kits at once!

As the title states, it's random stuff, but with very good reason. First, to encourage me to get stuff at the very least built, and ultimately painted. Second, to improve my painting which isn't terrible I can admit despite being […]

This is project record my attempts at getting some games in while we are all in isolation.

This is esoteric cleaning, as won’t actually clean my closets of unpainted minis or unfinished terrain, here I will grapple with all the techniques, materials, ideas and inspirations I always wanted to use but never did. I don’t know what […]

With me now having a little bit of experience with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software - Free and open source software for video recording and live streaming.) I thought I'd share some real basic things. This will be a WIP all […]

This is a series of live streams and youtube videos of my painting from Primer to Tabletop in one sitting. Models will take 1-2 hours and be ready to be played with (may or may not include basing)

So lockdown is here and I've got lots of models that bead building and painting.its time to get the piles of shame painted so that when lockdown is lifted I've got a lot more figures to game with

Trying to work through the boxes in my cupboard of shame.

Being on lock down with the kung-flu I decided to start my first project on here. This should hopefully be a quick one being only a single miniature. The miniature in question is 'Oakley* from Hasslefree miniatures. I have had […]

I have been in and out and up and down with my hobby for some time. I find it hard to complete projects and stay focused on one thing. I have a lot of collected and started things to get […]

This is a project to collate everything I have been working on at the moment and some previous things too. Mainly some blood angels and my own homebrew guard regiment.

If photos are on the sides: Click it to see it right side up. They've been all uploaded correctly, but seems like there is a bug in the project system. I'll be posting my painting progress for the year here, […]

Hey guys, so 2020 Spring Hobby Challenge is here and I am ready to get some minis painted. Got the usual storage area full of never started projects and the odd partially done ones. Rather than bog myself down in […]

For spring cleaning challenge, I'm going to dust down and carry on with my Joker Crew for the Batman Miniatures game. Started it probably 3 or 4 months ago but didn't finish. Plan is to, as much as possible, to […]

As of Monday 23/03/2020 I'll be stuck at home, as the schools will shut down this Friday. So I'm keeping this project to show what I'm doing to keep myself sane. It'll mostly be painting miniatures, some of which will […]

This is a traveling project. I'm not settled into a new place to live and my hobby stuff is all over storage and with me along for the trip as I wanted to have some climate control and immediate access. […]

This is to document my progress on my various Batman gangs and terrain associated with my game board.
