One A Day – Day 2 Like many gamers I know, we we’re all introduced to tabletop gaming by Games Workshop. What ever your opinion on their miniatures, games, business model and practices without them, I probably wouldn’t be interested in tabletop gaming today. Why start this article titled ‘MDF Rich, Cash Poor’ with a […]
One A Day – Day 1 It’s not something I’m known for, or for that matter really any good at but it is something I enjoy. Writing. I had a great time painting my Necrons as part of my last “One A Day” project, uploading a new image to Instagram before midnight each day was […]
I need to do more ‘hobby’ activities. It sounds strange as you’d think I have loads of fun playing with scenery, terrain and wargaming models all day! Nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is I spend a good deal of time worrying about the business, a good deal of time cleaning, moving […]
I’ve never been a big fan of terrain that sits ‘on top’ of the table, when it is suppose to be ‘in’ or ‘under’ the level of the gaming table. Obviously that is difficult to model when you have a solid surface to game on, so I think this method for making some simple rivers […]
This has been a project I’ve been wanting to do for a LONG time. I started making some pieces over a year ago and finally managed to getting around to finishing if off! I think it’s going to be a great table to play some Middle Earth: Strategy Battle Game on … or any game […]
In this video I share my project of turning the Lord of the Rings Collector Guide from PDF into an awesome hard cover book which I can add to my bookshelf. Stitching and binding your own books is a wonderful project. Not only is it relatively easy but it allows you to add ‘proper’ books […]
This was a fun project to work on! There are so many things I want to add and improve but for the moment it’s certainly usable in a range of tabletop wargames, like Mordheim, Frostgrave, Middle Earth: Strategy Battle Game etc. I highly recommend spending some time when you are working with MDF models to […]
I’ve been a BIG fan of Lord of the Rings since the original trilogy was released. Unfortunately I have still not read any of the books (I am about 3/4 of the way through The Hobbit though, and have listened to the Silmarillion recently!) but that hasn’t dampened my enjoyment of the story, I think […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
