@ Neunfinger: Hee hee! Pretty much sums up the arch-lector's state of mind at that point in time.

He's Artizan. See https://www.artizandesigns.com/prod.php?prod=1824

BTW, all these years I have had him and I only just noticed I forgot to paint his legs! I really should pay more attention, but I have a habit of churning figures out rushing to get the armies/pictures/stories done!

The goblin commanders emerge from Monte Castello to parley with the general of the VMC ... (pictures from before the time I began hiding bases) ...

Pike march out:


Then form a guard ...


Then out come the brave commanders ...






Whilst watched by the various defenders on the ruinous walls ...

And here are views of the meeting between General Jan Valckenburgh of the army of the VMC and the goblins occupying Monte Castello ...

Waiting for the goblins




The goblins approach






Words are had, agreement is (surprisingly) reached ...










Some close ups of the VMC officers and guards ...

General Valckenburgh and his 'linguister' Pieter Schout


Myrmidian Standard Bearer (I forget her name!)


VMC wizard Jan Deeter


A file of company handgunners


And a rank of company pistoliers

Nice photos with interesting plot in them. Now that I think of it, why there was no similar material in White Dwarf ever? Negotiations between a goblin and human warlords would make a fine wargaming scenario or mini-campaign.

Thank you, you three!

@ Nordic1980s: The decision to parley was the campaign player's decision - he is commander of a trading company's army and his aim is always maximum profit, minimum loss, but still with ambitious and occasionally long term goals. Interestingly, the agreement reached with the band of goblins (a minor force in the campaign) had consequences neither the player nor myself as GM foresaw, and badly affected another player later in the campaign, causing him just a bit of trouble, but exactly at the moment when he was at his weakest and so with considerable consequences!

Just one pic today, but (for some unfathomable reason - perhaps an accidentally good composition) one of my favourites. Bernado Ugolini receives a report from a priest:

Wonderful. The old hunchback chap looks like he's taken more than one good clout from Bernados cane!

This scene from my Tilean campaign is actually set in Estalia (from before the 'other' Compagnia del Sole returned home), when the company chancellors Ottaviano and Baccio delivered their reports to Capitano Bruno Mazallini ...

The day Captain Presrae's mercenary elven 'Sharlian Riders' were ordered out of Trantio upon some secret errand, although they made no efforts to conceal their departure - quite the contrary ...

Wonderful, thrilling Story and excellent, inspiring pictures. All the nice details, catched by several photos. It makes great fun to read. A bit like these great Blockbuster-Films. Keep on going and many thanks!!!! :-*

Cheers Hannibal
