A game of Dragon Rampant took place last Saturday, evil Humans with a giant vs. a Dragon with evil humans as servants. Both trying to control the Sacred mole of Ukkert.
Brave liberators, trying to get the Sacred mole to there home country. If they can exit the botom of the picture they will be sucessful, and the heroic liberators of the sacred mole. The evil dragon appears, I know its evil because its not on my side. Near the end of the game, 2 of my units remain, Scouts and Light missile troops how at this point have moved twice the entire game. almost every time they attempted to move they rolled a 3 (I kid you not), the entire game they moved two times and shot once. The Dragon's lackeys were the winners of this game.

An easy way to make inexpensive 28mm wargaming trees. Ingredients: UNused Toilet brush, MDF base, Brown and Green Spray paint, Hot Glue (and gun), Roofing Nail, scouring pad and Basing material and optionaly flocking.
Step 1: Give the toilet brush a bad haircut. Step 2: Cut the handle of the toilet brush, about 2 1/2" long. Step 3: Spray paint the complete toilet brush. Step 4: Drill a hole into bottom of the handle. Step 5: Hot glue Toilet brush onto nail. Step 6: Smear hot glue on the trunk of the tree (handle) to simulate bark texture. Step 7: Paint the Bristles green. Step 8: Texture base of the tree. Optional Step 9: Cover the the bristles with Spray adhesive and apply Flocking (Foam or Sawdust). let dry and then seal with spray varnish or diluted white glue. Chamfer the edge of the tree base, drill a countesunk hole through the bottom of the base and impale the MDF base on a roofing nail. Whittle the bottom of the toilet brush head to break up the hard edge on the bottom of the head. then hot glue some pan scrubber to hide the ugly attachment. The tree on the left I used poly fibre, the tree on the right is the same tree after I rpped the poly fibre off and applied home made sawdust flock

More 28mm scratch built terrain. Buildings this time.
Wild west buildings, some of there are over 30 years old. Building for the middle east and medieval.

I was today years old when I found out you can only put 4 images in a post. Now on with scratch built terrain. 6mm edition.
Hills (for 6mm), many battles feature hills. Streams for 6mm Rivers (6mm) also work for 28mm (also 20mm) miniatures. Individual trees, tree canopies and wooden black houses feature in this photo.

The other day, to see what I have made in the way of wargames terrain, i decided to layout all my scratch build stuff.
Trees and vegatation, I used to think you can never have too many. Areas to mark fields or to put trees or other things on. Things other than tress to put on the areas. Hills, everybody needs at least a few.

First post.

I ran my groups semi-regular christmas time wild west shoot-out last Sunday. I didn't want another town fight. I pulled out some of my badlands terrain and ran the scenario "The Search for Sagebrush Sam", he's a mad prospector, the only one who knows where the lost city of gold is.
The only picture I got. The action was so fast and furious I didn't have time to take any more. By game end 20+ Charcters, of 29, were Out of Action (dead?). rules used were Wiley Game's Fistful of Lead Reloaded 2nd edition.
