Joao, this what you meant by different levels? I can't wait to play out on these new boards so I tried out some variations with them, and it seems I am gonna need more small leveling tiers, but hey, this is quite a start I think.

Ezekiel, I was talking more about this: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m61aubQaUJ1rzra78o1_1280.jpg

Still, your composition looks so good! It also makes me want to play there!

Joao

ahhhh, like that... well, played on terrain like that once with metal models, but that failed hopelessly seeing as they kept falling over. but yeah, such terrain really gives a nice vibe to it! hmmm if only I could claim a permanent gameroom

I agree with you; just of thought of having metal models rolling down the hill, makes me cringe!.

But it doesn't have to be so steep. You can have slight difference in levels or even gradual steps:

I know what you mean about claiming a permanent gameroom...

One day, who knows?

Allright, had a little battle today with some friends, to try out some new houserules for our upcoming campaign (EiF - with anticipation towards MiM) and to try out a not so ruined city. it was a good day, with good looks on the board (ok, it still needs a paint job, but it gets the feeling across



now it seems I need more bridges, and more water for funnier gameplay, but the little Islands worked out nicely!

Well, I went about last evening to make my castle slightly more presentable in games, so the rough structure is now complete, and many - MANY details need to be added, windows, dormers, sculptures, stones poking out of the walls to give it a nice rag tag mordheimy feel

Here it is in comparison to my tallest building up to now.



as you can see, it is a high one! (2 warhammer castle towers stacked on top ofeach other, and then there's the top floor and a rather tall roof (wich will get some turrets I think) inside there is a small stairwell up from the wall level to just below the top level, and I want to make it like there's a little throneroom vibe on the top floor, with a ballustrade around it, and some nice details (though I doub't anyone will bother going up that high - unless there's treasures to be stolen

there are two small walls on both sides of the large tower, and I want to make those very decorated, maybe with a statue, though I've no idea what type, and they should probably be larger than mere models... We'll see about that when my new greenstuff comes in.

both sides have received a lot of greenstuff, and await much more still. the roofing has been done, and just needs a lot of small dormers to add to the grandeur.



there's just a bunch of gaps to be filled up in the outer walls, and then I can finish greenstuffing the largest gaps.
the roof is currently pinned in place, and I intend to keep it like that untill I completely finished it, so it will stay in the right shape (had plenty of errors before with roofs twisting and warping while painting and glueing extra detalls to them.

then there should be extra rails along the walkways, and some more small roofs on the balcony and maybe some more turrets, just cause it looks cool

hope it's to your liking thusfar!

Sweet! The wall is progressing nicely Can't wait to see it again some day.

I like this a lot! Great project, very big and worth every effort!

As Eliazar, I can't wait to see the progress. Keep it up!

Joao

the wall progressed even more today and yesterday! put up most of the greenstuff, al that's left (untill more ideas come to mind) is some heads on the poles on the side of the scene, and some clouds and sunrays up top

Wow. Amazing wall.

Really nice work, love to see more of these castle towers evolve. You have certainly inspired me to build my own housing now apposed to buying it all pre moulded & building it.

and after a couple of games set in marienburg, I can present you with some more of the scenics... Yes, I know, loads and loads of work still needs to be done... but for now, I'm quite happy with the playability of the city, multiple levels (I have a system of tunnels as well) some nice ruins, and the large citybuildings do have a great vibe, even while unpainted.

For now however I'm too busy with my Low Kings warband (which is now complete, but needs a lot of greenstuff to make them fit the theme...

Here, proof!

More photos! Lots of interesting things going on there. I'd like to see more of the new bridge in the photo above. And battle reports! Stu is too stingy with his as it is.

This map as a whole is really cool! Would love to see more pics of this.

Kan je thuis alles nog wel kwijt. Het ziet er top uit!

Very nice. The sculpting on the castle is fantastic. Great attention to detail!

Well, long time no updates!... my apologies.

I was a tad busy, with my girl moving in with me and therefore having to rebuild my entire house to suit both our needs. (I have this issue where I deem it unworthy of my creativity to buy furniture, so I built everything myself. This time around it took quite a bit of time though. -1 fold up desk/office, 1 bookcase, and a retouch of my older bookcase, 1 sweet ass Miniatures cabinet taking up the entire wall of our living room, a retouch of my older windowsill/miniatures storage, 2 clothing closets, the balcony, and repainting all the walls in the house later though, I'm allmost done, and will hopefully get back to updating some more -especially now that I've revisited the arena and finally finished the overhangings I wanted to make! - that is, built it, still needs paint.

Suffice to say, we played a short campaign recently, and after getting brutally butchered we started talk of a new campaign, and inspiraton flowed back in, and I decided it was time I finished up on all those projects I have laying about... so Hopefully I'll post some more updates soon. - I know, I tend to promise that a lot...

Anticipation...

Anticipation is a good thing! haha, anticipate more of this:



Today was a good day.
I have tons of unfinished projects laying about, but luckily I've finally finished the Arena (save for one little detail...) and slapped paint on rougly every base that needed paint. Highlights will follow later due to drying time, but at least there's no more blue foam to be seen!

I've undercoated:
2 large base city/canalblocks
3 bridges
2 citywall segments
1 housefoundation
1 jetty
the Castle's interior

Finished:
the Arena
the Inn's walls

To be done
Highlight everything
Details on most buildings and afore mentionned sections
5 city houses in Amsterdam style.

oh, and then there's 2 corner houses I want to make to make it a nice looking row.

well, that was a rather poop picture, here, a better one of the arena. (still not perfect, but you get the idea)

That's funny: when I saw you'd posted in the Scenery Section, I immediately thought of your Arena. AND it's LOOKING GOOD!

Are you going for the Colosseum style sail awnings?

Oh! closeups of the awnings please!

Actually, this is all the awnings I'll be doing.. It's ruined mind you! and yeah, a typical classical arena setting is what I went for. closeups will follow when used ingame I think.

Hmmm. I sense a delaying tactic...

haha, rest assured, the time this tactic bought me was put to good use!
I've painted all the blue foam I had left! so now I can actually set up a table without feeling embarrassed about the looks

everything you see here has been painted in one way or another. (the buildings received highlights and some other details, the arena you've seen, the rest was all painted last night. (it was a good night for painting! )


All that needs doing is to get my waterworks fixed (turns out it's 2mm thinner than the rest of the bases... ) and to texture that for some good looks - my girlfriend was greatly unimpressed by these 'simple sheets of blue'... time to fix that
