4Ground Ports of Plunder Colonial Houses Set

September 26, 2020February 6, 2023 / josephforster86 / 7 Comments

I've finished building another set of 4Ground buildings from their Port of Plunder series and I couldn't be happier. I started with the Hovel set and they were fairly simple and a good first experience for me. This set of 3 Colonial Port Houses was more complex and took more time, but building on the … Continue reading 4Ground Ports of Plunder Colonial Houses Set

April 16, 2020 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

How to Make Piers for Blood & Plunder the Easy (Slow) Way By Guy Rheuark With a full third of the game scenarios being amphibious, it is important to have places ships can dock. While you might think your sloop can just belly up to a sandbar, drop anchor, and throw grapples, it cannot. Any … Continue reading Terrain Building: How to Make 28mm Piers

Easy Terrain – Large Rocky Hill

March 26, 2020 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

I picked up another piece of terrain from Gale Force Nine's Battlefield in a Box series. This piece isn't as good of value at a MSRP of $35, but it's a very nice piece that gives you some instant interest on your battlefield. It's nice to have some variation in elevation and for some reason … Continue reading Easy Terrain – Large Rocky Hill

Firelock Games has recently released several pieces of resin terrain and I'm starting to get some painted up. This is a quick review and painting tutorial for the Farmed Field piece that sells for $10.00. The painted example on the website looks fine.

Stone Tower Fort

My fort arrived! It took me a while to get around to ordering it but it arrived last week and I've been pecking away at it in the little time I've had for painting recently. I did a very quick and simple paint job that probably took less than 2 hours from start to finish. … Continue reading Stone Tower Fort

Creating Shoal Terrain for Blood & Plunder

April 16, 2019October 19, 2022 / josephforster86 / 4 Comments

Using terrain at sea in Blood & Plunder seems a bit counter intuitive. However, every time I read the setup for a naval game the rule book mentions the possibility of adding terrain. What kind of terrain is there in naval games? The most common danger of the era were shoals. Shoals are areas where … Continue reading Creating Shoal Terrain for Blood & Plunder
