the helgraumite empire skip to main skip to sidebar the helgraumite empire this is a page dedicated to my ancient campaigns inspired by tony bath i have taken the leap into a mythical ancient campaign saturday july 28 2012 if you facebook you might like to take a look here i am trying to help howard generate more interest for the miniatures produced in the the tekumel project if you like it let me know i ll be adding there regularly and here more often in the future http www facebook com thetekumelproject shen hlaka and hlutgru are all coming oh and a new basing scheme posted by poruchik at 7 51 pm no comments wednesday march 3 2010 general kettukal remembers a story he was once told beseiging the atkolel heights was starting to wear on general kettukal and his troops he knew he needed to find a way to break the stalemate or he might lose troops to another operational theater in the empire successes were rewarded and it was best not to even consider failure late one night kettukal remembered a tale told to him about a ruined temple that was a portal to caverns that held something important he couldn t remember the entire story but thought it was perhaps best to check it out in tekumel stories and myths usually had a scintila of truth he knew he needed to send good troops but not his own legion he decided on the legion of serqu sword of the empire they are excellent soldiers but not his own if succesful he of course would claim the operation his right as general if a failure however it would bring no discredit upon him or his the general summoned a young officer of the 14th imperial heavy infantry to his tent relayed the story as he remembered from his youth and issued orders take forces of the 14th to investigate this ruin and look for any evidence of truth in the story the young officer deployed scouts to lead his column it seemed wise to have an advance warning of anything encountered next in his column he deployed his archers these were good solid heavy infantrymen surely they could make short work of anything they encountered in fact he decided to lead the archers himself he would be able to direct their firepower and upon a pre arranged signal move them to allow the heavy spearmen to finish off any foes he would still retain enough control of the archers to direct them at any possible problem areas behind his archers in the column would be the heavy spearmen the spears of the legion of serqu are stout soldiers capable of handling anything the enemy might throw at them they are well trained and able to pull off complex manuevers very quickly this clearly was a winning formation so off they moved in the direction the general had told them to go as they marched they sang of victory for the empire victory for general kettukal and most importantly victory for the legion of serqu posted by poruchik at 12 50 pm 1 comment tuesday february 2 2010 the baron dispatches a force remember click on a pik for a larger version or leave a comment if so inclined now on to our story to be told in parts baron ald had heard rumors there was a ruined temple near the base of the atkolel heights a story hinted that there might be a weapon hidden in this ruin a weapon that had the power to scatter the troublesome forces of tsolyani now seeking to besiege him on these very heights it was possibly just a tale the baron knew it needed to be verified the baron summoned to him a young female officer of some promise from the gurek of tleku miriya i he instructed her to sneak off of the heights being careful to avoid detection and to find and investigate this temple if a weapon was in fact there to bring it back if unable to bring it back send a runner for stronger forces and safe guard it against capture finally to destroy it if unable to prevent capture she knew her trade and sent scouts ahead of the main force they were spread out to ensure early detection of any ambush or spy behind her scouts she deployed her crossbows if contact was made a first blow at range could buy precious time or perhaps decide the issue she led the heavy infantry of her gurek these warriors would form up and advance thru the crossbows to send any tsolyani in the way running by maintaining direct command of the heavy infantry she could move and deploy them as required it seemed a sound plan now on to find this temple and prove to the baron he had made the right choice posted by poruchik at 7 40 am 3 comments monday february 1 2010 more coming i promise ok kids there is more coming however here is a teaser this is non canonical sorry near the atkolel heights there is rumor of a ruined temple with a weapon that could change the balance of power regionally both baron ald and general kettukal learn this story at nearly the same time and dispatch troops to investigate general kettukal dispatches forces from the legion of serqu sword of the empire with orders to head towards the heights find the temple and investigate it baron ald dispatches forces from the gurek of tleku miriya i with orders to leave the heights find the temple and investigate it posted by poruchik at 2 58 pm no comments thursday april 24 2008 more pictures are coming ok it s been awhile those folks that follow my other two blogs already suspect this i suffer from high goal diffusion i think the new fashion term is adult add never really cared to be lumped into a group or be in fashion anyway i m always painting at least three different projects and i like to have results before i post i m also a dad of two teenage girls one is getting ready for college sure glad i bought tons of minis while i had money i have a lovely wife and a job that all demand and in some cases the wife and girls anyway actually deserve my time as well so i post as and when i can i found a new tekumel blog that is so loaded with great information it isn t possible to absorb it all in one sitting http jakalla blogspot com clanless barbarians of pupol sua this will be a great one to bookmark and read often additionally i have almost finished painting the first gurék of tléku miriyá at 1 to 100 as soon as i have finished i ll take photos and post them after these guys i ll be painting the legion of sérqu sword of the empire posted by poruchik at 2 00 pm 2 comments friday december 7 2007 samples at last here are a few sample figures i ve painted from my eureka ept armies and enemies of the petal throne line of soldiers the yán kór will do double duty as yán kór obviously for tékumel battles and they will also be the soldiers of the mighty helgraumite empire in my world i think it s only fitting that the soldiers of toslyánu ept become the soldiers of tralyptia as this is the mortal enemy of helgrau so without further ado here are sample soldiers of yán kór helgrau and toslyánu tralyptia in the words of the bangles we ll start with the tra lyp tions to begin with i have painted a few figures of the legion of sérqu sword of the empire and a few of the legion of ever present glory i have used prof barkers the creator of the world of tékumel paint schemes as guides only i have a few prejudices that i wasn t able to shake first heavy infantry should have metal on them so my heavies have at the least bronze colored scales or plate covering their upper torso the legion of sérqu sword of the empire the 14th imperial heavy infantry the first legion of ever present glory 1st imperial heavy infantry the second gurék of tléku miriyá the first gurék of tléku miriyá skirmish i have labeled the photos with their appropriate tékumel unit names i haven t decided on the names i ll give these units in my world i ll post in the links of this blog a number of resources for quality fantasy and ancient s period miniatures as well as resources for the world of tékumel click on the photos for a larger version there is more to come and please feel free to leave comments posted by poruchik at 11 54 am 7 comments tuesday december 4 2007 new legions are very close i have begun work on the first four legions for this world two are from the empire of helgrau and the other two are from one of her enemies interestingly they look conspicously like eureka s ept armies and enemies of the empire of the petal throne figures http eurekamin com au gallery thumbnails php album 62 i have also started the first unit of starpans starpa is an independant city state that is isolated by mountains and is considered too naturally fortified to be worth attacking they train as warriors from the moment that they are able and while the army is small they are fierce professional and tough the larger empires are capable of siezing starpa it just isn t considered worth the effort or cost so sample pictures are on the way for at least three of the nations

time i never stopped playing with toy soldiers much to my mothers chagrin exchanging the sandbox green armymen and rocks for donald featherstone s book wargames awi soldiers from the back of a comic book dice and rulers those early games were great fun and very exciting eventually i graduated to more complicated systems better miniatures headaches rule arguments and basically not a lot of fun i thought about ditching the hobby altogether i realized recently that i like a good game of toy soldiers i like the look of toy soldiers and i like the way a simple game plays i like the trusty d6 view
