Skies of Mars, Instruments of War, & Grassy Gnolls

It may be a slightly reluctant Spring so far, but I’ve already dragged the family out for a day at the beach. Not because the weather was particularly nice, but because I needed to collect sand for the hills Doc Spork very kindly gifted me. More on those later, though (and I did treat the wee one to an ice cream for her efforts!)

  • There is no shortage of atmospheric terrain kits these days. Here’s the new Assail Borderlands Scenery Pack, and Black Site Studio’s The Sundered Depths Bundle. These sets are designed for (but in no way limited to) Warcrow and Relicblade, respectively.
  • Looking to make some sweet music on your kitchen table? Well, Galladoria has the horn. They also have a range of other instruments, including an abbey pipe organ, a bell, a gong, and a drum.
  • If the above instruments inspire you to create your own music festival diorama, then Pendraken can provide the tents. Now we just need half a dozen burger vans and a row of overflowing portaloos. (Chaos Toilets, anyone?)
  • The chances of anything coming from Mars are 4/6 at Ladbrokes (with a £5 free bet for new customers). Imperial Skies players can take their games to the Red Planet with these flavourful fliers.
  • The limited edition Soldier of Fortune Lady Death is available from Warlord Games until the 31st May, 2026. Excellent on the battlefield, but not much fun at parties.
  • Mantic has a lovely Basilean Bundle up for pre-order. The dragon looks pretty immense, and the lion is tickled as top-left sets his chip pan on fire. Throw a wet towel over it, mate!
  • Doctor Spork’s latest offering is this retro fantasy modular rampart. All it needs is a wee “No Junk Mail” sticker painted onto the letterbox. Now, back to those hills he designed and printed, and you’ll see my progress below. The final shot is modelled with another Spork piece, his fantasy watchtower printed in 15mm scale.

And yes, I know it’s spelt “knolls”.

On the Podcast: Adeptus Titanicus, Blister Pack Walls, & The Chalice of Doom

Back in March, I was delighted to welcome Orlygg of the legendary Realm of Chaos 80s blog onto the show. The episode was very popular and gathered a ton of great feedback. If you missed it first time around, here it is.

Due to popular demand, I invited Orlygg back on for part two, and this time, solicited questions for him from the Bedroom Battlefields community.

My painting has been a little slow, recently, but not nonexistent. I painted another 40k Second Edition Space Marine in completely made-up 90s football kit colours, and then turned my attention to She-Ra, Princess of Power.
