New Thomarillion terrain

This looks quite promising!

Looks awesome! Maybe a bit too intact for Mordheim, but still looks like a great battlefield to play a game on.

Hmm.. interesting. Looks like it will be a whole range of different houses and stuff.

I really like the looks of the Lake Town...definite theft potential.

For those Lazy Guys like moi who hat opening up links:


Pretty cool, eh? GREAT FIND, JoaoS!

And here's another shot:



I really dig that terrain style. As I told Thommy (the designer), this kind of setting is perfect for the outskirts of a town. Maybe a dodgy urban area. So many uses, really.

oooooh, Riften!

Looks indeed promising! However, there´s someting bothering me about the roof. They look so rounded...
However, that´s only my point of view and other than that, they look very good!

Gonna check this out!

I'm not doing thatch roofs so that's a no go. Otherwise the houses might have been nice. But there's enough Stronghold Terrain and Grand Manner quality stuff to go with instead.

Joao, didn't you post some close ups on Ziterdes houses on your blog, briefly discussing the quality of their foam?

I'll be having some houses with thatched roof in my scratch-built town (to have a bit of variety but also to give me a break from gluing all those individual tiles...).

The Ziterdes buildings I have (mostly medieval houses) paint up very well, except for the stonework and woodframes on these specific houses:

I found the surfaces to be too difficult to drybrush and provide a realistic effect (but it could be my limited painting skills brought into the mix here).

There is also no interior, if you're into that sort of thing.

That aside, their designs are good (and these Laketown pieces look amazing) and the foam is the most resistant thing you'll ever come across (perfect if you always have to move your terrain about or if you need to take it to an event).
Ask Werekin; he once saw me performing raised push-ups on top of Ziterdes houses to test their durability!

Ha ha ha! Alright then, I believe you.

That foam surface always looked... weird to me. I guess I will some day try one of their buildings if I happen to stumble upon one for real cheap. Just out of curiousity. But I'm sceptical.
