Getting (or making) the best Warhammer 40k terrain isn't impossible! Warhammer 40k is a tabletop wargame that takes place in a grimdark future where humanity is fighting for survival against numerous alien races (and against themselves). While the game is primarily focused on the battle between armies, terrain plays a crucial role in creating an…
I have indulged my 9 year old self and gotten into model railroading--but I'm doing it with a wargaming twist. Everything in my model railroad is leaning somewhat on wargaming: I have my trains running around a hill on which a D&D miniature frog monster is fighting Flames of War tanks, and I have Redcoats…
I have posted in the past my favorite YouTube miniature painters, and my favorite YouTube terrain builders, but today it's the best YouTube Wargame Makers. And by "wargame makers" I mean that these are makers, crafters, builders, and hobbyists that don't necessarily dabble in wargames, but are wargame-adjacent. These are the channels that I watch…
The Warhammer 40k hobby is one of the things, if not the main thing, that a majority of Warhammer 40k players like the most. Whether it is collecting, building or painting miniatures, or collecting, building and painting terrain, it's fair to say that the average Warhammer 40k fan spends FAR more of their time on…
A Review of Sludge War, by Sean Sutter at Metal King Studio

Lore: 7/10
Hobby: 9/10
Sludge War is a fantasy wargame set in the age of black powder, and it is a gritty, gory delight. The gameplay is easy enough that the rules can be grasped in minutes (and summed up on one sheet of…

Eric's Hobby Workshop is unique because Eric is a very precise and excellent…
Just as I did with my Normandy display board, I had collected so many models that I decided I needed a new place to display them and, despite my protests, my wife wouldn't let me set them up on top of the piano in the living room. So, I decided to build a display board.…
I am very pleased to have Mitch from Terrainosaur on the blog today. I have admired Mitch for a long time now, and not just because of his great output (though he makes amazing stuff) and not just because he's funny (though he very much is), but especially because he's doing all of this with…
When I decided to take the plunge into Bolt Action, I wasn't going to do things halfway. I started off getting two starter armies for my birthday: the US Infantry Starter Army, and the Waffen-SS Starter Army. I painted them up in no time (I have since learned that painting Warlord Games' Bolt Action miniatures…
The Best YouTube Channels for Hobby Terrain
When I was getting into the hobby, most of the tips that I got came from White Dwarf magazine and that was about it. For a very brief while I bought copies of Wargames Illustrated at my FLGS, but that was hit and miss, plus it…
