wargaming skip to main content wargaming posts amon sul get link facebook x pinterest email other apps by ed february 03 2021 when i lose my mojo for crafting it happens i tend to find myself watching some of the guys on youtube one of the people i particularly like at the moment it nat1 videos at the end of last year he posted a video where he made a rather spectacular ruined weathertop i got inspired so i bought a couple of sheets of 20mm xps foam drew out a rough plan and got shaping starting to take shape a couple of mithril miniatures for scale after getting the pieces how i wanted i gave the whole thing a coating of watered down pva mixed with black acrylic ink the whole thing was then painted grey coated in a wash made from acrylic ink ilford rinse aid acrylic medium and water after the wash was dried i got to dry brushing three layers in all grey grey mixed with cream and a light highlight with cadmium white it s mounted on a cork floor tile painted up with a scattering of foam flock overall i m more than happy with the result strider and the hobbits taking it fo post a comment read more heorot get link facebook x pinterest email other apps by ed august 17 2020 excited about the beowulf rpg hopefully coming out at the end of the year i decided a good project would be to make some sort of heorot valhalla mead hall building in my mind it would also be useful for oathmark middle earth and at a pinch the dark ages first up some research to get inspiration i ve always like the look of the mead hall from zen terrain not the price but i imagine it must be a pretty cold hall without a fire perhaps not the outside but the interior looks nice and cosy a bit closer to what i had in mind rough and ready but still elegant the size makes you imagine the hold of a local lord not some imperial palace an interesting cross section this hall looks like it could be constructed from an upturned boat a couple of grades above my current modelling ability but some nice details these three are all similar in that the construction is two concentric sets of beams the middle box supporting the roof and the oute post a comment read more weekend rangers get link facebook x pinterest email other apps by ed august 16 2020 we got in a quick game of rosd this evening after dinner continuing my campaign with my other half we tackled the bridge guards scenario for the first time in one of our games we lost a companion as a casualty it was the archer luckily he made a full recovery post game and our recruit and my ranger were both reduced to 1 hp after a couple of very unfortunate dice rolls we scraped through finishing off the last gnoll in turn 9 and grabbing the treasure in the gnoll camp in turn 10 the gnoll at the camp finally decides to see what all the commotion is about across the river the treasure token in the camp is a gametee coin the sarissa covered bridge made a great centrepiece for this scenario i know it s supposed to be a stone bridge but what the hey our man at arms deals some damage taking the gnoll out in 1 round of combat the gnoll sergeant takes a pounding the dog is playing the part of a vulture in this scenario unfortunately despite us throwing 5 arrows his post a comment read more tor varden part 2 get link facebook x pinterest email other apps by ed august 14 2020 just checking the size and proportion of the walls here s the same three walls with a test coat of paint i say test coat i never had any intention of repainting them once i got going with the walls the doors are laser cut from blotz i had them first and cut all the doorways to size a wip shot at the sweat shop i worked out it doing them in batches of 9 10 was the optimum balance of soul crushing repetition vs actually seeing any progress being made on the project it s starting to come together the walls looked a little too clean for a ruined tower that was supposed to have been abandoned 80 years previous so i decided to mix up a wash to render them with i watched a couple of videos on youtube the best being one by black magic craft and a strikingly similar video by lukes aps halfway through the washing process i think this was taken a little late in the evening hence the walls looking a bit darker than in reality so we didn t have to play on a grassy flo post a comment read more tor varden on the cheap or how i learned to stop worrying and love the cork get link facebook x pinterest email other apps by ed june 08 2020 in both my campaigns i m rapidly approaching the point where i m going to need something to represent the tower of tor varden for the penultimate scenario in the beacon tower mission the tower is described as 3 rooms each 1 5 square with the entrance door opening to room a a door between room a and room b and a door between room b and room c in room c there is the start of a staircase leading to the upper level so how to create something that s not going to take an age but is going to look half decent i ve been quite happy with how my tables have looked in the first mission so it would be a shame to let my quality slip just as the scenarios are starting to get more meaty my first thought was dungeon tiles black magic craft makes some nifty looking ones on his channel link but i want my miniatures to look like they re really there when i photograph them and not just floating on some 2 dimensional astral plane ok so i m going to end up making post a comment read more a new recruit get link facebook x pinterest email other apps by ed may 31 2020 this weekend i introduced the other half to rangers of shadow deep i created her ranger and filled in our rangers stats in the week so we were ready to kick off as soon as we set up to play a couple of turns in things are starting to hot up in the village square the glass of wine is a magic item that gives the bearer 5 enjoyment tiny discovers the body of ranger aventine and a great dice roll later she recognises his sword my ranger spots something glittering at the bottom of the mill pool a treasure token tiny makes a grim discovery a mangled body with some strange bite marks on it looks like the poor soul got it while taking a leak zombies they re like buses you don t see one for 3 turns then 4 turn up at once our bowman couldn t hit the broad side of a barn all game the man at arms however was more like man of the match always jumping in at the right time and chopping up zombies and rats in one hit the game received the thumbs up so we re looking post a comment read more more posts powered by blogger report
