The League of Extraordinary Riveters is looking to swell its ranks with hobby crafters of all sorts, whether you're an old hand with weathered cobblestones and backlit screens, or just picking up a hobby knife for the first time to add some life to your bases. We hope you'll join us!

Just about anything (except models) goes, including playable terrain pieces, decorative scatter terrain, unique or thematic bases, display plinths, dioramas, table tiles or components, game aids, restoration or conversion projects. That said, which of the following grabs you as an accommodating and fun theme? Round 37 will run from March through April.

BIOMES: Your build should embrace a specific environment, ecosystem, habitat, or climate, and could extend to lairs, dungeons, menageries, stasis chambers, alien worlds, as well as good old desert, swamp, snow, etc... as long as it makes the specific setting clear.

THE VAULT: Your build should store something of value; it could be a treasure room, a computer core, a library or gallery, a sacred reliquary, a tomb, a hangar or garage, an armory, a high-security control system, a doomsday device... the place must be built to display or protect something of value.

THE MESSAGE: Your build should relate to communications, writing, or language in some way; data terminals, banners, antennae, signal fires, warning signs, ancient glyphs, billboards, trail markers, graffiti, even heads on pikes at the gatehouse... anything that conveys a message.

IN TRIBUTE: Your build should involve recognition, homage, or commemoration in some way; this could be a memorial, a victory stele, hall of statuary, throne room, or sacrificial altar; alternatively, make your own tribute to an artist, author, genre, book/film/game, or a personal connection.

Biomes fits really nicely with a couple of projects that I want to do next... so clearly that's a winner for me. The others could be *interesting* to try and come up with something for

Voted biomes. Much potential there for creative minds.

Biomes for me. Got it in mind to maybe make some underground dungeon tunnels, vaults, chambers type of stuff.

Biomes is taking off, but nothing is locked in yet. The poll runs until Friday, so sharpen your blades for the weekend! FYI, the Biomes theme was inspired by Mothsniper's amazing fish tank ruins.

Slowly printing more blank hexes in preparation for whatever the theme is

I went for Biomes! A theme I am really interested in seeing the creations for

Vault is good, but Biomes is perfect!
Recently finished watching "The Expanse" and have lingering nostalgia from entire Stargate series. Want to do some sort of bio-dome mayhaps.

WarhammerTotalWarIII launched, not helping with projects...

I feel you on the TW:W3 thing. My Kislev now control half the map

As for Stargate, I thought you were about to suggest making a large pine forest to represent pretty much every planet in the series...

Lolz! Stargate, now that I think about it, you are right, must of been my imagination doing the heavy lifting for that series.

For great Orthodoxy!
However I was disappointed with the prologue campaign, low fps, low textures, bugs, weak story, and 2D art is weak. Bugs and FPS will get resolved with time as they usually do, still prologue felt unfinished.

Looks like Biomes is up this time around... the poll will close in a bit and I'll get the new post up this weekend. Onwards, Extraordinary Riveters!

Hurrah! Time to lay out the swamps and work out what to add to it
