Without the base it's 12" wide, 7" deep, 8" high (to the top of the tallest chimney).

Dramtis Personae for Wortbad, rebased for Age of Sigmar onto 32mm rounds



Alice Rainfall (Banshee)
A witch from a former age, Alice remains bound to Wortbad by the crimes she committed there and by the fear of the punishments she expects to receive for them in the afterlife.





Krathar Duskchain (Vampire)
Krathar is a soulless creature with no hint of humanity. He has the manners and grace of a noble and he strongly believes in his own superiority but he has a careless disdain for others. He treats everyone around him with contempt and scorn, especially his followers and acolytes





Hagel Rotshroud (Necromancer)
Hagel is a twisted and corrupted man, bitter and resentful of his master, Krathar Duskchain. He has managed to extend his own life by many decades but he has not found the power and position that he had hoped for. He spends most of his time either hidden in Rotshroud Manse studying dark texts or grubbing around in one of the many graveyards in Wortbad. He considers most of the tasks given to him by Krathar to be menial and beneath him but he does not dare complain.

Your brushwork & basing are as SPLENDID as always, but, at the risk of hurting your feelings, your choice of colors is bland & uninteresting. 

Don't worry Alan - no feelings hurt!

I went for muted colours and a limited pallet on purpose. I don't think these characters would go for bright, happy colours.

I'm glad I didn't offend you. I do tend to go for bright to garish colors, so my tastes are somewhat questionable.  

More atmospheric backdrops and scenery shots:

COOL & CREEPY! The trio in the last shot is especially so. GREAT STUFF!  

Great photos. I'm hoping the vampire's mansion gets a model, too. With dungeon...

Nice paintjob on the models. The third one is especially cool, is he a vampire? Nice what difference a small headswap can make.

Great work on miniatures and terrain!! I really like it!!

What miniature is the vampire and where is his head from?

I can help with that one:

Chaosmage body and one of the imperial wizard's heads.

Edit: as I said, I really like this conversion as well, for its subtlety.
Coincidentally, I'm planning on building an Undead-warband next year and was just stripping paint off of a Sartosa Vampire model this morning. Then I realised, that he has a pattern on his head very simular to the Wizard's head.

Or to make a long story short: I might actually have to borrow this conversion-idea once I get to run a high-end late-campaign version of my Sartosa Vampire.

Ah...!!
Thank you!!

Thanks very much for the kind words guys!

And thanks to Grimscull for answering Dragonhunter's bits question so accurately!

I didn't manage to start painting The Rose and Scythe last week but I have finally made a start this week. Bad weather made it hard to spray the black undercoat and grey zenithal basecoat, but there was a break in the rain and I managed to get it done.

I will start liberally applying Nuln Oil, Agrax Earthshade and Athonian Camoshade washes soon.

LOOKIN' GOOD! The spray coats make the details more visible...lots of potential with this Beasty.  

Intended or not mate, that shadow from the signpost that looks like a cross...creepy!

Thanks very much guys!

Update on the Rose & Scythe Inn.

Still WIP, and there is lots to do, but it's starting to look like I imagined it would!

SPLENDID! The painting makes quite a difference. Keep up the GREAT WORK!  

I always liked your painting work and color choices, but what I like more is the background stories for your models.

that is fantastic, well done.

I (finally) received my Gamemat.eu Wasteland 4'x4' mat yesterday. I'm really pleased with it!

Wortbad has never looked so bleak and dead!

The Mat looks TERRIFIC; just the spot for a haunted village. Have FUN with it!  

More shots of the whole! Please.

Great pieces of terrain wonderfully painted.

It should be a real pleasure to play on those.

Great work !
