The guys at Games Workshop have out done themselves with their latest terrain kit, Skullvane Manse. The Tower of Sorcery, Dreadfire Portal and Eternity Stair are all examples of the direction being taken with Games Workshop terrain of late. The kit offers hobbyists a host of options when it comes to building unique terrain. In the latest What's New Today post Dan takes a look at some features of Skullvane Manse as well as gives some pictures of some very unique terrain pieces. As usual original commentary is below with my own thoughts in purple italics...

Music Monday - Zombie

Sitting at the computer deciding what I should do tonight. Finished the final exam for my degree the other week and now playing the waiting game for results to be posted. One subject has me nervous fingers crossed I don't fail and have to do a reassessment or worse. But I've now got a whole lot of free time on my hands. Something that I haven't had the pleasure of for well over three months.

There is some paper work on my desk that needs filling out for the job I've been offered next year.. waiting to find out my roster for work in retail over the Christmas holidays.. and then there is the battlefoam bag full of unpainted miniatures and boxes of unassembled miniatures.. plus meeting up with friends that have been left neglected due to university.

The miniatures by Mad Matt have completely changed my thoughts on painting black...

I've read about Instant Mold in the past. But never given any thought to using it. But after seeing some of the work by Ron and Lamenter using Blu Stuff as well as some tutorials on resin casting, this article has got me curious.

If I was a fluff nutter this would be a perfect opportunity to go on about how Black Templars hate the witch, xenos and heretic... and therefore since I play them must share these feelings. Fortunately, I am not a fluff nutter...

Knight Baron by Adeptus Custodus from The Bolter & Chainsword - While looking for details in Knight Titans came across this post on the B&C. Was a very nice surprise. This is possibly the best quality Knight Titan I've come across to date. It looks like the right height, as it dwarfs a Dreadnought. The limbs are bulked out. My only issue is the feet. However, using Dreadknight feet would solve that problem as seen here.
