So that's what you all are up to. I was hoping for a deep water harbor.

Sorry to disappoint you Von Kurst!

We are busily coming up with slightly more complex rules than the ones in the Hero's Serious Injury Table (but I hope not too complex!). Each player in the campaign is going to provide a (optionally) converted, painted and named Pit Fighter for a Championship that will run alongside (or should that beneath?) the campaign.

Cool!

For YEARS we just placed models to the side for Pit Fights, then last week Playtable and Marneus set one up in a ruined basement in one of my risers (Toth Amon thread). Suddenly Pit fights are all the rage.

We who are about to drool salute you...VERY COOL LOOKING! The stage set idea is perfect for the type of mayhem that will take place here. OH ALL the ideas to steal...keep up the GOOD WORK!

That looks like a great arena! And I love the idea of mini pit fighter sub-campaign. Very cool. If you find the time, maybe you can write down the rules and put them up here?

This is an update on the stuff Lee gave us, we've been adding wood and sealing the exposed foam with a paint/glue mix (as I keep loosing track of what I've sealed!)

Nearly finished the Labyrinth. Play-testing over the next few weeks.

GREAT LOOKING STUFF! The big ruin in particular is FANTASTIC...seems appropriate. These will be WONDERFUL additions to the Flame On scenery. I, for one, am looking forward to their progress, AND the games they'll be gracing.

There better be something big hiding in that labyrinth. Nice work. The buildings gave me chills. There is almost no place safe to walk past that building without being at risk of a sniper inside.

A big monster that isn't claustrophobic.
I like the idea of the revolving center room. Its fairly versatile for many scenarios. I am assuming you have written a specific scenario for it though.

Rat ogres definitely aren't claustrophobic...it may be big enough in such closed quarters.

You guys are insane.

lovely! the big ruin will be inspected. closely:)

that pretty much sums us up!

I love the labyrinth idea. I am going to have to steal that one. I already have a plan to make it too, just need to stock up on kitchen scrubbers! :p

one could have a minotaur in a labyrinth:)

It took longer than I'd hoped but I have finally finished the Vercuso Fighting Pit!

Absolutely stunning.

Can I ask how you have painted the walls? They look so... dirty. Mine are always too clean, and I don't know how to make them look more like... well, more like yours

Great work!

Sure!

I painted the whole area with watered-down Iyanden Darksun, then "stippled" Tausept Ochre across the top half. (Stippling is when you sort of jab at the surface with and big, rough old brush loaded up with quite a lot of paint). Repeat the process across the top quarter with Calthan Brown, the bottom third with Iyanden Darksun, then the same but on the bottom quarter with Bleached Bone. Leaving some of the colour underneath visible with each layer and try not to do the stippling in straight lines, also concentrate more on the middle of each area than the edges, so it sort of "fades" from one colour to the next.

The cracks are just lined on afterwards with Scorched Brown.

That turned out SPECTACULAR...let The Games begin! Now all you need is a blood thirsty crowd of fanatical spectators. WELL DONE!

Looking good WbK. Wall could get a bit dirtier.

I know there will be puddles and stuff, but Boss there ain't no floor drain. The pit floor and the lower walls could use a stain of blood.

Stunning piece indeed! Very very cool! I'd love to see a zoom-out pic of the entire piece.

Thanks! I have to try this on my buildings. I looks great.

Thanks all

I thought about a healthy splash of claret, but I didn't want the whole thing to just be dark brown - blood doesn't dry red remember! I think it might look odd with too much of "the fresh stuff" all over the shop.


We'll see though... I may add more gore-stains as the campaign progresses....

@cianty - I'll get a wide shot sorted for you

nice isnt the rigth word.. cool? yes, cool it is and very well done:)
