Hi there! I am just structuring up my on going Projects. There are no pics yet but I plan to incorporate some later to get input from you all. One of the main Points with this thread for me is to bone out witch Projects I can use the same minis and terrain. In the long run I Think this will help me save time and Money. Also on what to buy/build/paint next.
If any of you out there has any kind of critism or ideas. Perhaps suggestions on how you solve tie ins between your own games. Please feel free to comment.
So here goes....
Battle board
I need a battle board. The problem for me is how and what. Wasteland? Forest/Grass green? Urban etc.
Also how?
One idea I am toying with is building a MDF with strenghten sides using 244*122 cm standard. Strenghten it up below and paint it grass green. Buying a set of workmans benches (do not know the English term for it) will be a good base and easy to use.
This means I can buy battle mats to cover it with, representing other terrain.
Fantasy
Barony of Corragh
Vision: A skirmish based system as a base ready to expand. Used to introduce my family into table top.
Rule set: Fantasy warriors with a rebuild magic system
Status: I´ve got a sizable force humans and orcs. Some stand ins as goblins. I´ve got some Sarrisa dark age Buildings for terrain.
To do: Keep building the forces to go get some more variation. Replace the goblin forces. Next summer build a goblin camp on a hill for a end of chapter battle. Buy some more Sarrisa to get enough for a small village.
Tie ins: Can´t see any tie-ins with any other Project I got going or wanting to do.
