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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
