Collection of Flat and River TilesLooking to create a new battlefield, but are stumped where to start? Do you want something solid and durable - but you aren't sure how your neighbors in the apartment will respond to a table saw? Let us help. We have released the first of many more modular terrain tiles which are designed to deal with these problems.

Made out of sturdy MDF, each Small Terrain tile is designed to provide a ready starting point for creating a variety of different terrain styles and features. Each small tile costs $4 and they feature sculpted rivers, hills and other terrain elements. All you need to do is provide the flock and finishing materials. Each corner is drilled to receive alignment pins to help prevent gaps from opening up during play.

In addition to the tiles, we are offering a carrying case that is designed to store your tiles when not in use or when you are transporting them to games. Each case holds up to 16 tiles, and features adjustable shelves in order to allow you to customize the interior for taller terrain features.

Better "Paper" Models

Paper models can be very useful, but even with thick card stock - they don't tend to be very durable.  If I have a paper model that I want to modify or use a lot, I make it out of sheet styrene (plasticard).

Print the model out like normal and than you can either glue the pattern on the card or use carbon paper to transfer it to the card.  Cut out the parts  and glue it up.  Ignore the fold lines - it is normally easier to just glue the edges together than to try and get a good fold with the plastic.  Also, the tabs are not needed either.

You can use various epoxy putties to add additional details and also use normal plastic model parts or scraps of styrene.  Prime and paint like any other plastic model.  The end result is very durable and will last a lot longer than paper models getting the same amount of use.
