I spent some time finishing up the last of the MERCs papercraft terrain I received from my buddy Bill (Hi Bill!)… you can see the results right here!
Two garbage cans and an ATM…. and of course, much more beneath the cut!

Nick has been on a bit of a MERCs kick recently… it’s a neat game, no question, and the models are pretty cool. One of the nicest things about it, though, is that it rewards “gobs-o-terrain” setups, which is brutally punishing to WarMachine, and so I have an excuse to make a bit more terrain!
Now, the real reason I’m making MERCs terrain first is that a good friend of mine (hi Bill!) gave me a stack of Worldworks Games papercraft terrain for WarMachine (specifically sewer stuff, which looks uber-awesome!), but I didn’t want to ruin the good stuff with my clumsy and clueless attempts, so he also gave me some leftover city-scape stuff he had from his Heroclicks terrain collection, which I think will work perfectly with MERCs *and* give me practice so that I when I tackle the sewer-stuff, it’ll look awesome!
That’s the plan, at least…
I’ve been working on more terrain for the MERCS tabletop game.
First off here are some bridges/catwalks that can be used with my previous buildings.

Lately I’ve been craving a Skirmish level game. I looked at Infinity and Malifaux and neither one appealed to me. I stumbled upon MERCS right around the time their Kickstarter was ending and I ended up backing it because with all the stretch goals I was getting a shit ton of minis for free.
One thing led to another and this weekend I drew up some plans to make foam core buildings for MERCS. I figure these can be used in Warmachine just as easily (if not with as much density) so I’ll put them up on the site. Continue reading
This update begins with the making of a module.
This piece was actually made by my significant other Heather but I insisted on taking some progress pics as she went.
It started with a cutout for an exposed sewer pipe trench.
She added tiles to the flat section of the module.
Some more progress on our slowly-moving table-building adventure,
Started putting down texture for quarter number 2. Used some bit from Pegasus Hobbies’ Chemical Factory Kit. This kit is full of wonderful little bits for steampunk buildings and terrain. 
Another update on the progress of this table.
The first quarter board started with gluing down paving tiles made of plywood rectangles. These plywood rectangles and squares are from Michaels and are actually deceptively expensive. A bag of them is about $5 and doesn’t cover as much as you think it will.
Next I used beans to give a cobblestone texture. I’m not sure what kind they were but I had to look around a lot before I found beans that were the right size. Continue reading
I’ve been working on doing a city themed table on and off for the better part of a year. The only thing mythical about it is the myth that I might ever finish it. Its a bit of a complicated undertaking so its hard to work on it continuously for long periods of time.
Lately I’ve been getting some motivation (and more importantly, HELP) from my good friend Aaron and we’re closer than ever to having this bad boy finished. I posting here some of the WIP shots. Continue reading
I am working on building up a stock pile of terrain to host some gaming nights at my place. Today I am working on some trees and forests.
Here is a brief tutorial. Continue reading
