Modelling - Storage Options Foam Boxes    I recently decided to conduct an experiment, I'm working on my 3rd/4th edition Space Hulk Set and the extra mission sets. This means a set of 5 Space Wolf Terminators, 10 Deathwing and 10 Ultramarine Terminators. I have a set of foam from element games for the Space Hulk box contents themselves, but these extra troops come in standard 40K boxes. I thought perhaps we could find a storage solution in regards this, and I stumbled on something great...    Element Games are great for storing foam solutions for your favourite board games.   I'm going to be investigating new methods of storage and foam solutions for some of my games over the next few months, and I would like to share that journey with you here. So please follow us. If I get enough comments I'll share my CAD files so you can all produce these yourselves, or I may even open an Etsy shop...  So I looked at the...

Review - Star Trek Destiny Trilogy by David Mack    The Star Trek franchises ( the 90s tng/ds9/voyager series particularly ) have long been a draw to me, I’ve recently begun reading some of the novels after hearing about the best of them following the “What We Left Behind” documentary on Deep Space Nine and their proposed 8th series/season teasers.  Starting my review series with David Mack’s Destiny trilogy, I understand that this is often touted as the best or at least one of one of the best of the series of novels.

Warhammer 40k - Adeptus Mechanicus - Welcome to Mars Chapter 1 Armiger Warglaives Welcome to Mars! Chapter 1: Armiger Warglaives . I ( Gildoren ) own a large, and mostly painted Necron army, but unfortunately we have never really played much 40k as we tend to concentrate on 8th edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Tabletop Roleplaying. A major contributing factor to the lack of 40k battles is the fact that when we get together for battles at my place, we don't have a second army to pit against the resolute Necrons... Introducing the boxed set “Forgebane”, a boxed set that contains new minis for both my Necrons and the Admech/Skitarii forces, this enables me to supplement my Necron forces and acquire a second army in the form of the Adeptus Mechanicus.     I picked this up from Element Games this time, but you could go to either of the usual spots, and I've added links for OZ/NZ, Canada and The USA to the end of this post for the first time......
