Grim doings in Anglemoor - The Games!

[Ricco]

Those Witches are awesome. Inspiring! Thanks!

[Kitsune]

Those dogs on the first page are fantastic! I think I'm going to have to invest in some of those.

Back to work after a bit of a hiatus:

I'll be using the setting for a brace of games at this years Pacificon. A mere weeks away now.

I'll be using Wiley Games Tales of Horror rules, with liberal sprinklings from the Horse and Musket variant as well.

The scenarios are taken fairly straight from the pages of another set of rules: Witchfinder General.

The setting for the first adventure is a village whose Feudal overlord has a less than stellar record of public service and brings new meaning to the term "Human Resources".

To that end I have set myself to bring the small fishing village of "Corleigh by the Moor" to life.


I have a few resin cast adobe buildings I made a long time ago that I'm re-purposing by adding timber framing. I've got two smaller cottages like this and a larger one that will become the village's mill.


In addition I made a pair of larger cottages out of foam core and bass wood strips. All these buildings will be getting thatch roofs eventually.


This shows the planned design for the village. Aside from the new buildings I have one additional existing building I made and a lovely pair of Forge World buildings.

Splendid, looking forward to seeing this develop.
FFoL TOH is an excellent ruleset and supplement

[Bullshott]

Great looking project. I do like a bit of 17th century horror

[Skrapwelder]

I used an old bath towel for the thatching itself. To get the thick, rounded look of thatch roofs I glued a piece of foam core to the roof's styrene base and rounded the edges with a blade.

They look wonderful

Always fun to see another witchfinder/flintlock horror setup! Looking forward to seeing how your village progresses.

[Skrapwelder]

Thanks very much. Here is a progress photo of the village.



I'll be painting all the bases next and attaching the wattle fences around most of them.

[Malamute]

Looking really good.

That’s a grand set of real estate. I’m looking forward to seeing the whole village. Great work!

[Skrapwelder]

I got some time to devote to taking some photos of the miniatures that will be involved in this weekend's game. Almost all these minis were painted with the new contrast paints in the last month. I'm really happy with the way most of the colors work and the way the paint goes on.


The Miller and his boys.


The Sheriff and his bailiffs


A band of Witchfinders scouring the land of Heresy.


 The Brothers of Antaeus - an association of Gentlemen sworn to destroy black magick in England


 A troop pf Dragoons and


A troop of dismounted Light horse from Hopton's Horse.


Bold Cavaliers


Some of the Villains in the piece:


 Blinder Horse straight out of the Border Marches


Dark Riders in service to Earl Hugo Montrose, the wytch king of Anglemoor.

Here's a long shot of the village laid out the way it will be for the game.



I'll be doing a bunch of base painting and grassing in the next two days and It looks like I need to paint that Witchfinders hat too.

Thanks for all the kind comments and suggestions. Hopefully in my next post I'll have photos from the game itself.

Wonderful

The games have been played. Two games over the course of Pacificon last weekend. They went very well. I really like running these FFoL rules for a convention crowd. They catch on very easily and play very well.

I've posted a couple pictures of each game and links to the full pages on my blog site.

Game the first: Defending the Village
