I bought this large size aquarium piece years ago. The intention was it would work as wargaming terrain - in fact, here's the original reference from 2014: https://shichitenhakki.wordpress.com/2014/02/16/zardoz-has-spoken-latest-find-at-the-aquarium/ And then it sat gathering dust because how often have I played jungle themed wargames since then? Rhetorical: never is the answer. Now that I'm playing Forbidden... Continue Reading →
Project 1701 nearly ready for play
Here is the nearly completed set up. The table is a printed mat originally designed for Frostgrave. I've decided that my implementation of the Tomorrow's War scenario Lost & Found occurs in the snowy north of planet Guerzim. Buildings are Metcalf N scale. Trees from Aldi. The fireteams are mounted on group bases. TW advises... Continue Reading →
Project 1701 c01 & d01; Traveller Tomorrow’s War
Every time I write 1701 I have a little chuckle, and now 1701c is just too auspicious... at least it is for any dyed in the wool Trekkie. Anyway, planet Guerzim is part of the Crucis Union, a political body that sounds a bit Federal, that has at least four different political factions. I've decided... Continue Reading →
Frostgrave/Sandtomb pieces for Good Friday
No particular connection between these pieces other than they have all been waiting to be finished for too long. First is a Reaper Miniatures Marilith that I felt fitted the Mediterranean/Arabian Nights/Greco-Roman/Byzantine feel. Handsome girl. Next is a mashup figure, one of Eureka's that I added a huge Kite shield to and a sword. Unfortunately I cannot... Continue Reading →
New terrain item -Statue of the Forgotten King
The printer, or as I like to call her, Sammy the Fabricator, continues to operate like a traditional Jaguar. It needs to be tuned after every outing and even then may stop for no adequately explained reason. This time I got three quarters of the way through this interesting Aztec inspired piece before the filament... Continue Reading →
New terrain item – the obelisk
The mysterious obelisk clearly belongs to an older civilisation than the one that built the city where Sandtomb/Frostrave currently lies. The markings hint at Aztec. They also remind me of the 'libraries' at Angkor Wat. This was a 3D print I made using the M3D printer I bought over a year ago through a Kickstarter campaign... Continue Reading →
New gaming mats from PWork
If you have read here before you will have noticed that I don't mind urban scenes for my pike & shot games. This is because my major area of interest is in the big skirmish scale where there is every chance that the action concerns attacking villages. The problem I have found is that when...

Zardoz has spoken! Latest find at the aquarium
Our dog lost her collar in the undergrowth, again, so we found ourselves at the pet store. This is the latest acquisition that came from that exercise (apart from a very pretty new collar). This piece weighed in at around $24 and is nicely scaled for 28mm figures. Even though it has absolutely no purpose... Continue Reading →
Bold Frontiers product review
The other day I stepped into Mind Games, Melbourne, in the hope of finding something usable on the second hand table. Instead, I found a product from a startup company by the name of Bold Frontiers. Card, MDF CDC, products are not new. The idea of precision cutting something that approximates a structure is a... Continue Reading →
