Title: 3 musketeers skirmish board
Post by: McYellowbelly on 30 August 2023, 02:24:38 PM
A couple of years ago I painted some figures for a friend for Pikemans Lament.
He then decided these would be good for a 3 musketeer skirmish game.
He sent some pics of everything Ive done so far.
Board, buildings,figures and some scenery/clutter done
Civilians and more scenery bits to follow

That looks very impressive!

I love the medieval street vibe that still works in the 18th century. The gate especially sets the stage, together with all of the street clutter.

Is the stone texture on the streets rolled?

Cheers
The street texture is textured wallpaper, sprayed with Halfords brown,khaki and grey

Great stuff. Can you give us a rundown of the suppliers for your figures and terrain?

Think the figures are Bohemian(?)
Fountain is Hovels
The 2 buildings with full roofs are by Conflix, both based and repainted
The other buildings are scratchbuild using foamboard, card,balsa.
The individual terrain pieces are from a variety of sources such as Redoubt, Foundry, 3d prints and unknown resin pieces

Lovely set up, the wall paper is perfect as town paving, and the buildings are perfect for the job and nicely finished.  8)
What size is the board? I am interested in this size of game.

I picked up mine from the local branch of 'The Range' (UK).
Sadly they don't have it at the moment. :'(
And I am nearly out of it. :-[

Great set-up. I see Foundry figures among the civilians. Are the musketeers by Brigade Games?

Had missed this thread.  I will use it to inspire my own 18 mm variation - using the wonderful figures from Bluemoon Manufacturing supplemented with same companies English Civil War figures (mostly for more civilians).  And I see that a lot of my "pirate" buildings will work in such a setting.

Oh, and very nice work all around.

Cheers, wagon is Foundry, think baskets, tables and chairs are Redoubt, veggies are Mantic with a Renedra barrel and some other resin ones(Hovels?)
