Sizing of Tables

So, I've had this side project I've been working designing and crafting quality gaming tables, and it's gotten me thinking about what size map I lime to battle on the most in mini games.  It's gotten me thinking about it so much that I wrote half a post about it last month that never saw the light of day.

I've gone back and looked at Lord of the Rings, Warhammer, and 40000, and of those three, I really do prefer a scenario laid out on a 4 x 4  board.  It's a preference born of non-gameplay elements, like being able to move around, game length, and amount of scenery.  It's a more casual size, games tend to be more relaxed when I play on a smaller surface.

I wonder a little though, if I'm one of the only people who takes this much time and effort to postulate over the affect table size has on quality of game play.  What are your thoughts, denizens of the internet?

The Wulfen are Back!

Now, my first ever army in Warhammer 40000 were Space Wolves.  I've eaten up all the lore could on the chapter, and one of my best paint jobs to date is my Krom Dragongaze.  So when they announced that the Wulfen had returned, I just about exploded.  And then to find that the fourth campaign released by Games Workshop is yet another Space Wolves battle, I am beside myself with joy.

The chance to learn more about the Wulfen, and where they have been for 10000 years is going to be amazing.  My only disappointment is that the Curse of the Wulfen novel is currently a digital exclusive (though I don't expect that to last too long).

I know that I personally have some plans for the Wulfen kits, once I can afford a couple.  There is an oft forgotten successor chapter to the Space Wolves, the Wolf Brothers, that all succumbed to the curse of the Wulfen, and I would love to build a campaign around them.  It would be awesome.

So, if any of you have any thoughts on the Wulfen, or an interest in building some, leave a comment or a question below.
