I really didn’t know what to expect when I decided to start producing MDF terrain kits on a commercial scale. I originally registered the name Knights of Dice back in November 2011, with the intention of opening another retail store but that fell through unfortunately when the lease was cancelled by the vendor, I guess […]

Stargate Miniatures – painting log
I’m a massive fan of Stargate: SG1 and have been for many years. It is one of my go-to shows to play in the background whilst I paint miniatures, I’ve probably watched (or played) every episode maybe 30+ times. It’s available on Stan here in Australia so is streamed regularly! I am trying to find […]
Are there too many games – How do you stay focused?
There are so many games these days, as our good friend Brad from Cast Dice Podcast says “we’re in the middle of a gaming renaissance”, there is just so much to choose from. How do you stay focused? Are you like me and collect a silly amount of stuff from all genres with a mountain […]
Live streams – a chance to have a chat
I’m really feeling ‘invigorated’ about spending some time producing content, whether it be writing articles or filming videos. Part of that was something I was talking with Scott about last week with regards to setting up a camera at the workbench and popping on live feeds whilst we build things. So today I decided to […]
Terminus Australis – an unexpected journey into 40k
It’s interesting how things change/develop/progress over time, I never thought I’d be sitting here writing about how Warhammer 40k has changed a lot of things for me recently. I haven’t played (or painted!) any 40k miniatures for a long time (2013 actually, I went through my videos and noticed I started painting some Imperial Fists […]
Perfectionism vs Procrastination – how it affects our articles!
LTDR: I’ll be adding articles about ALL my hobby work on the website and working on them/updated them as I continue working on them. I hope everyone has had a great weekend! Mine has been good, not a lot of hobby work but enjoyable all the same … my wife beat my daughter and I […]
Texturing and Painting Large Compound 1
I really had a great time designing the large compounds for the Tabula Rasa: Desert buildings range, they are very playable pieces of terrain and HUGE! I maxed out the dimensions according to the standard size sheets we use for large models, so this kit has a footprint that is almost A3 in size, 425x290mm […]
Normandy Hedgerows
I’ve made lots of different styles of ‘Normandy’ style hedgerows over the years but I really like this one. It’s quick, easy and looks good. Just making a few strips really helps add to the realism of your table and looks amazing next to our Letters Home: Normandy range I start by grabbing some of […]
US Force Recon (Eureka Miniatures)
I’ve been a big fan of modern games for a long time, it was part of the reason I made the Tabula Rasa range many years ago, if I recall correctly the Desert Buildings range was the first in the TR series. I wanted some simple buildings I could customise and use for various ‘modern’ […]
COVID-19 Update – pickup and studio visits suspended.
COVID-19 Update – pickup and studio visits suspended. (March 17th 2020: 1:13pm) I have been following the COVID-19 situation here in Australia closely. As a small business owner I first and foremost, have a duty of care to my staff and customers. Everything we are being told is to remain calm (ease up on the […]
Open Hours are changing
We’ve had an amazing 5 years here at Knights of Dice and as one of Australia’s few full-time laser cutting operations specialising in MDF terrain and accessories it’s been great to have our doors open to the public, 5 days a week. Unfortunately as things have progressed over the years for our company as a […]
