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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It seems a little strange to be sitting here writing an article about making simple fields, rather than writing something about one of the MDF kits we manufacture but as I have said though in previous articles, I’m not very good at ‘selling’ my products! Perhaps we’ll have a look at one of our kits […]
One A Day – Day 4 I’ve left it very late today to write my article (it’s currently 7:10pm), they are certainly taking much longer than the 25-30 minutes I spent painting each of the Necrons! I also have a terrible hang over so I’m going to keep this one short, super short. Tribal uses […]
One A Day – Day 3 I’ve always considered myself an entrepreneur, a business-man, but I’d be loath to consider myself a “salesman”. Is that a problem for a small business, to be operated by a terrible salesman? As I sit here chuckling saying to myself, “Does a bear shit in the woods?”, it’s obvious […]
