    Terrain Painting – Crashed X-Wing

    My second set of recently painted terrain is the Crashed X-Wing set, a more recent release. The model was painted similarly, with hand-painting on the X-Wing and R2 droid using base paints, then highlighted with contrasts. My home made dark wash ties all the pieces together again, working well for the size of the model.…

    Terrain painting

    Haven’t posted in a few days, thanks to a busy work schedule, editing schedule, and US holidays. With our most recent battle report, we managed to show off our recently painted terrain – I have been spending some evenings catching up on the old sets and pieces so that we can actually use them in…

  • Dagobah

    As we expand our Star Wars Legion games, and look into a few other game systems, I got inspired to create a swamp terrain board. This was heavily inspired by Black Magic Craft on YouTube, in which a similar technique is used to make roads. In my case, I reversed the negative space, and instead…

  • Star Wars – Shatterpoint

    A view behind the scenes, as I work to assemble the mountain of plastic that is the Star Wars Shatterpoint starter set. I opted to pick this game up on release day, and have been working on it off and on since. Within a few weeks, I hope to have everything assembled and painted, and…

  • Hoth Ice Fields

    The new Legion terrain is hopefully finished, and ready to go – I set up a starting play field for the current picture. As designed, the tiles can be rotated four different directions, and generally speaking, continue to line up. The boards are currently supported over our regular gaming setup on a set of fence…

  • Battle of Hoth

    I have gotten it in my head to craft a modular terrain board for Star Wars Legion (and potentially other games) and have settled on a rolling hillside based on Hoth terrain. To this end, I have been studying various YouTube options, and have acquired a bit of foam and supplies. The design is to…

  • Miniature Monday – Legion X-Wing

    Expanding my Star Wars: Legion terrain with several models in progress. First completed is a scale model of an X-Wing, complete with movable wings, landing gear, and a removable R2 druid. Ideally, yes, I would paint the model, but realistically it is not a high priority. The model is available on Thingiverse, and scaled specifically…

  • The Dragon Pillar

    As part of my video prep for the latest Age of Ashes session, I finished up the painting of the Dragon Pillar terrain piece I was working on. As mentioned previously, this is less “dragon” and much more “tiki”, mixing up the various cultures, but for our gaming purposes this was solid replacement. Painted, it…
