Title: Song of Blades and Heroes
Post by: Frank on March 11, 2010, 01:25:48 PM: Knoxville and I had our first Song of Blades and Heroes game…and it was a lot of fun. We made some pictures. I played the kobold gang and Knoxville a group of adventures (beautiful painted). We have the German translated rules, but there is a missing line! Maybe somebody can help…I am looking for the skills of the kobold spy???

Have to agree with Plynkes, those rocks look really good...

Post by: Thantsants on March 11, 2010, 06:38:44 PM: Dammit - going to have to buy Kobolds and gnolls from Otherworld now... >:(

Well done though - stunning stuff - but how went the day?

Bet the Kobolds kicked ass! >:D
Title: Re: Song of Blades and Heroes
Post by: Dewbakuk on March 11, 2010, 07:05:35 PM: Nice looking figures but I love that board :-*

The rocks are great. Are they carved polystyrene? If so, what's your technique? The trees are roots with foliage added? What about the grass clumps?

I hereby request a workbench article for this board :D

The Rats are Kobolds from otherworld as well. Very nice paintjob by the way! :D

I love the scenery and the Adventurer gang as well. Very inspiring. SOBAH is sitting on my bedside table as bedtime reading, I think I will have to spend more time on it now!

More photos please! :)
Title: Re: Song of Blades and Heroes
Post by: Frank on March 12, 2010, 11:44:42 AM: Thanks a lot for your feedback! I will post some more pictures as soon as they are made (will take some days). There were a lot of questions concerning the rocks on the gaming table. These are prepainted aquarium / terrarium rocks! Their name is Hobby Canyon Rock and they are available in three different sizes / shapes. The trees are self-made, with wire and artificial cotton (don’t know the name in English). And yes, all the kobolds, rats and the knoll are from Otherworld. The Knoxville adventures are a mix from Heresy, Privateer, Reaper and GW.
Title: Re: Song of Blades and Heroes
Post by: Dewbakuk on March 12, 2010, 03:39:13 PM: They look very good for aquarium rocks! Had a quick Google search and Canyon Rock 1 doesn't seem to be available in the UK, 2 & 3 are, but not 1, very odd. I'll have to pop by the local pet shops and see if they have any I can have a proper look at.

Did you cover the holes in them at all or leave them open?

Post by: Gluteus Maximus on March 13, 2010, 04:55:49 PM: I have to agree with all the positive comments.

That terrain is just what I'd like my African set-up to look like - maybe with a few more trees and bushes though.

Superb :-*

That's an 'olde' Citadel Chaos Sorcerer, still available as one quarter of this (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1380006&prodId=prod1690027) fruity pack.

How big is your gaming board? because i usually play on an 90 x 90 cm table with 15mm, but maybe with the 28mm you need a very huge board... isn't it?

For 28mm the recommended size is 90x90 cm. The recommended for 15s is 60x60. :P

From the book, reproduced without permission.
The recommended minimum play area is 60 x 60cms with 15mm models and 90 x 90 cms with 25mm models.
Title: Re: Song of Blades and Heroes
Post by: Frank on July 18, 2011, 01:34:39 PM: You are right! Usually we use two of our standard game-boards (120 x 60 cm) and this 120 cm square is really big for a “normal” scenario.

I've been wondering what a larger playing area would be like. I myself don't have a standard sized table (ie 180x120), but four 50x50 boards.

BTW Frank, smashing job on the gnoll! :-*
