This has been a long time in the making and something we’ve wanted to do from the start, these first four gaming mats will hopefully be the start of many!

Just a little bit each week
I’m so, so pleased that I acted on the motivation to fire up the Design Night stream last Friday, it was really nice to jump back into Sketchup (yes, I know, it’s old and there are so many other good options) and play around. If you didn’t catch the stream, you can check it out […]
Out with the old …
I was just going to ignore the fact that it’s now after 9:30pm and just skip today’s article, but NO! Here I am, be committed Viv! I’m not entirely sure what to write about today so this will probably just be one of those “stream of consciousness” type of posts, something to fill in the time […]
Reconnecting – Live Streaming
Before we jump into todays article I really need to say that I am really enjoying writing these articles. After the first few days I was really struggling, I just didn’t know what to write about, I didn’t know how long it would take me to write an article and I was often leaving them […]
Find (and SAVING) inspiration on Facebook
This article is a little odd, it’s not as much about terrain as it is about terrain … well, terrain reference and inspiration. I started wargaming just as the internet was becoming ‘a thing’, well something more than the rudimentary bulletin boards of the early nineties. A lot of my inspiration was from magazines and […]
Italian WW2 Table Project
I’ve had so many people over the years use the Tabula Rasa: Desert Building kits on their Italian tables. With a little modifications to the roofs and adding some terracotta tiles, I’ve seen some great looking boards! This article is a collection of ideas, concepts, images and ideas about how I want to build some […]
Burnt, charred MDF?
Is the ‘back’ side of your MDF kit badly blackened, charred or burnt? This can happen on kits available from Knights of Dice or any other provider of laser cut MDF model kits. The short answer? The laser bed of the machine that kit was produced on needed a good clean! I wish I had […]
Realism vs Perspective
I need to start todays article off with a massive thank you to Jack Glanfield. He’s been a MASSIVE supporter of Knights of Dice from the very beginning, he’s ordered directly from us many times and also from Shiny Games in Nottingham, his support has been legendary and today’s article has been inspired by some […]
Something simple? Club Boxes
I’ve got nothing, hehe. I’m feeling pretty grim (mentally) and I just can’t …. I can’t. A comment on my previous article post on Facebook said: “Written before midnight? Check. Showcases KoD? Check. That’s all you really need.” Thanks Dirk, that was actually a BIG help. I’ve said it many times lately, my mental health […]
Get out of jail free
I think I’m going to have to make time to write my articles during the day, I did think about it today but did nothing about it. Writing them in the evenings is not fantastic, especially when it hits 10:46pm and I realise I haven’t written anything today! Either that, or I implement some kind […]
Inspired by computer games
One A Day – Day 7 I must admit I’m really struggling with this ‘One A Day’ project, this is only day seven but it feels like MONTHS … crazy! I’m sure being unwell isn’t helping the situation but I’m also aware that spontaneously writing a new article each day, one that isn’t connected to […]
Narrative … or not?
I have a cracking headache, I’m not very well at all. I left work this morning after only a few hours of being there. A negative COVID test result was nice to see but still, I hate being ill, especially as a one-man small business, there isn’t anyone else to get things done. So given […]
