The trusty column or pillar is a time-honored companion in any shootout, and a common sight in dungeons and temples from galaxies far, far, away to forgotten ruins deep beneath the earth. Here's how I made a bunch of pillars to use as scatter terrain!

The Joy of Violence
A breakthrough in my maps-and-minis shootout minigame for White Line Nightmare, immersion, translation, and moving your body.
A/B Testing
I'm testing this shootout minigame for White Line Nightmare. Currently I'm running the same starting scenario through that minigame as well as Savage Worlds, which is a perennial favorite of my group.

There’s Waldo
I painted this guy for my father-in-law for Christmas. Model train displays are just wargaming terrain before the dropships land, anyway.
