The month of August was witness to a great variety of games played at the club, including the conclusion of the current Necromunda campaign, and the beginning a slow-grow Conquest league. With the final games of the planned Necromunda campaign played out earlier in the month, all five players came together again for a final … Read more
As usual there was a large variety of games played the the Monday Knights during July. The highlight was our Battletech tournament. Ten competitors gathered on Saturday 22nd of July for the Monday Knights annual Battletech Auction Tournament. Each participant was given 100,000,000 C-Bills to bid on a mix of 4th Succession Wars era Mechs. … Read more
Our Necromunda: Underhive and Frostgrave campaigns continued in June, along with many other games being played. The Necromunda Dominion campaign kicked into high gear with the Take Over phase. During this phase of the campaign, players are attempting to take control of other players’ territories which were gained in the Occupation phase. Surprisingly, not many … Read more
The month of May saw the beginnings of two campaigns within the club for Necromunda: Underhive and Frostgrave. Other Games included Battletech Alphastrike, Conquest, ADLG, Car Wars and Star Wars Legion
My main motivation for this project was to make a modular 3 foot by 3 foot board for Frostgrave. I’ve played plenty of Frostgrave in the past but I have never had the feeling of fighting in the streets of a fantasy city with the usual gaming mats I use. So this project was aimed … Read more
Who doesn’t like a graveyard setting in their favourite fantasy skirmish game?! I certainly do, so I went about making a few for my current favourite games of Frostgrave and Kings of War: Vanguard. My first step was to find some plastic kit grave stones, since it takes more skill than I have to sculpt … Read more
Frostgrave‘s first scenario is called The Mausoleum, and it requires, you guessed it, a Mausoleum as the central terrain piece. As I am totally into Frostgrave and Kings of War: Vanguard at the moment, and the fact that cemeteries make great backgrounds with fantasy skirmish games, I needed no other motivation to get stuck into … Read more
A while back I had the need for some sacred stones for both Frostgrave and Kings of War: Vanguard. I decided to make two, a rune engraved stone block, and a more elegant obsidian monolith. As with most of my projects I started with one of my favourite materials, XPS foam. For the stone block, … Read more
Buildings are possibly the most useful and versatile pieces of terrain you can have in any 28mm game. If you only have one, it could be the farmhouse in the middle of a field. If you have a few they could be the edge of a town. If you have a lot they could be … Read more
Once again, Frostgrave‘s Ulterior Motives gaves me another opportunity to make some interesting terrain. This time its Arcane Circles. In this post, I’ll show three different types I made. The first is the simplest. Its just two circular pieces of XPS foam glued together. A table hot wire cutter makes it super easy to produce … Read more
If you play Frostgrave with Ulterior Motives, you’ll need a pit. If you play Rangers of Shadow Deep you’ll need some fly holes. I play both, so I decided to make some of these important holes in the ground. For a fly hole or crater I started with a piece of 3mm PVC sheet and … Read more
I recently began playing Rangers of Shadow Deep, a game by Joseph A. McCullough of Frostgrave fame. As with Frostgrave, Rangers of Shadow Deep is full of scenarios that provide plenty of opportunities to make interesting terrain pieces. The second scenario in the core rulebook is set in a forest with some “nest trees”. So … Read more
I say Frostgrave, but this is a generic 28mm pool/well/fountain for whatever tabletop game you’re currently playing. KoW: Vanguard anyone?! I started by cutting out three discs of XPS (insulation) foam on my hot wire cutter. I have a homemade circle cutting jig, which is just a piece of 3mm MDF with a pin in … Read more
One of the things I like about Frostgrave is that it gives you so many opportunities to make stuff. When I started playing, one of the first things I made was a Giant Worm for The Worm Hunts scenario from the original rulebook. After some googling I came across The Sword and the Sprue website … Read more
