Hauling the loot, and lots of it! Brutes from Mangler's Band and Boulderguts' army have so much loot here, some of them are even having to help pull the wagons! It caused some arguments I can tell you!

I have 6 players, 4 local and 2 removed at some distance.

 This has led to some interesting decisions.

Awesome, this sounds like the dream!
Might want to do something like this once... when I have enough mini's and time and so...

Never made my mind up about whether this one worked or not. I have 'issues' with it of many and varied kinds.

I think it works just fine.
Doesn't look as natural as your usual scenery, but that's because your usual scenery is very well made. I think the photo-backdrop is a great idea for setting up scenes for which not enough models/terrain is at hand.

Thanks for saying. I tried the same technique (once again with some of the cardboard mounted image reprinted, cut out, and stuck down over the original to add at least some minimal 3Dness) on this one too. It is the young King Ferronso III of Luccini at court ...



Did what I could to hide the bases (part holes in the floor and part MSPaint fiddlyness) but all in all, I prefer using a 'real' models background, if I can create it reasonably quickly!

The most recent 2D backgrounds were featured earlier in the thread, being of the dwarf-hold of Karak Borgo, and those figures I just snapped off their bases for the photographs! I'll stick one here for comparison's sake.

I like how you catch a glimpse of the city in the background here. Sometimes photos just work by accident!

Cool scenes! I really like the garden confession...

How did you make the wicker baskets?
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

I'm glad you like the garden confession scene - it's one of my favourites. It is funny how the ones I think "Why am I doing this when it'll be so boring" sometimes turn out to be good. I think I like the confession because I was surprised how much like a garden it looked.

The wicker baskets are made from pound shop cheap oven mesh (like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Baking-Reusable-Sheet-Crispy-Cookamesh/dp/B00WNF0NQQ) which I cut, bent and sewed together into baskets with thread. Then I poured the gravel in.

Lovely scenes, as usual.
