I actually LIKE the 2D terrain you're doing, it gives the wargamer more options with game set up for one thing. Would be interested to read more about how you're coming up with these.

The rival knights look great! Puritans who refute the brotherhood's use of inhuman allies. Rebels against their tyrannical rule. Oath sworn to avenge the slaughter of the crossroads. Avengers of the last crumpet being eaten by the brotherhood...
Right god botherer's of some Saint or Another.  lol
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Been a bit of a sparse hobby period for me. Real life has been a Greek play in some respects. We're still playing through the Winter War campaign - nearing the end of it in fact - and I finally found time to take some staged pics.

This is the best, after a recent game in which the Black Order retook Ostvangr Keep, their watch-fortress in the south-west, after it fell to Ogre devilry and cunning. The Order returns home!

Cheers guys!

In between other things, working on some Vanguard cards for the Black Order. This is a mockup (and only shares Vanguard rules which are already available, publically and for free, on the Mantic website):

Any thoughts?

Just out of interest...how many men are the black order able to muster?
Must be a few now...
Conservative estimate....129 figures in total?
Love your work
Cheers

I have never used the Vanguard system so I have no practical insights. The card is nicely laid out.

Great question. Don't know if I should include the 'early' Black Order when they were mostly Fireforge miniatures with only a couple Perry bits thrown in, and largely Western European in appearance. If so easily 150 or so. If I limit myself to the 'late' Black Order, where Frostgrave/fantasy Fireforge is more prevalent, probably more like 75-90.

I really must throw together some fluff soon for this new knightly order - I haven't really come up with much except that they're an analogue for western European forces in a world where the Black Order is more northern European/Slavic in nature. Completed their leader over the weekend.
