A new gaming space

Something I've been working on this year.... is a new gaming space. A wargames garage!

Still got some tidying up to do, but it's ready to host some games now. I hope to get the French and Burgundians on the tabletop sometime soon.

It can hold a 10x4ft table, which is about the right sort of size for the games I have planned. Shown here is just a 8x4 setup, you can see the space for two more terrain tiles.

The next big challenge is to see if I can get good quality photos of games in action. I plan to paint a backdrop to make things look prettier too.

I'm going to really get stuck into terrain building this winter. These terrain tiles are ones I built years ago, the first time I'd done it, so I was learning as I went.. They'll do for now, but I'm going to replace them with some better designs.

Another advantage to having a permanent setup is I can do lots of solo gaming to playtest my own homebrew rules. That's not something I've really been able to do before when it required moving furniture around in a small living room to just try out a game!

  1. Congratulations for this new gaming space. I really like the two gaming tables. Are these tables that you built and assembled?

    1. Thanks, the workbenches I bought from a company online, they came in a few pieces with minimal assembly required. The two long sections of timber that hold the terrain tiles in were my own 'invention', they hold some bridging boards of MDF between the two workbenches for all the terrain tiles to sit on.
