A Tilean Campaign

[WuZhuiQiu]

Great stuff!

[Padrissimus]

Warlord Gurthrak of Clan Skravell atop his Bonebreaker mount, leading his regiment of 50 clanrat warriors towards the gate tower of the city of Ravola ...





Some of the defenders might not be up to the task!

[WuZhuiQiu]

This'll be good...

Hmm, might the defenders be a general calling-out of townsmen or of peasants who have evacuated to the town?

Are there any sewers...?

That red banner is eye-catching!

[Neunfinger]

Good  to see more of your great work.

[Padrissimus]

Tired of waiting in Covid limbo, we're in the process of a play by e-mail battle, with the table set up here in my room!

I have to send pictures like the following to the players to explain options, in this case re: targeting magic ...



Meanwhile, as the battle commences, I also get to create the photos that will form part of the report, such as this one showing the red haired 'fallen damsel' Perette looking over the battlements at the ratmen army as it approaches!



I think I should do a close up of that!

[Neunfinger]

That's dedication!
Have you tried a video call with a camera showing the battlefield? That might allow a more fluent gameplay.

[Padrissimus]

That's not an option for one player. This way is working, so far, and allows me to stop and take more time over pictures. But I am certain our methods will evolve with time, and change according to the players' circumstances.

I am having lots of fun right now!

[WuZhuiQiu]

I was reading a compilation of Storm of Chaos novel excerpts the other day, while deciding whether to keep it or not. Does Chaos have much of a presence in your campaign, or are their forces generally from too far to the northeast of Tilea?

[Padrissimus]

Little to no influence in my Tilean campaign ... except Skaven are chaotic, and they have arrived big time. In fact, in our play by mail battle, a skaven warlord has just moments ago been 'skitterleaped' onto a tower much to the surprise of the organ gun crew on said tower!



(Yes, I quickly edited the picture to put it here, but at least, now it is done!)

Nice move on the part of the Skaven, yes, yes! 

Errm, you edited-out a gunner's feet...

[Padrissimus]

Kind of. My medium is MS Paint so I AM blaming my tools!

I had to get rid of the whole skaven base, with a wooden platform mounted on it. I did well there, yes?

[Padrissimus]

Fixed!

[WuZhuiQiu]

Fixed!

That looks better! I suppose that that may be one of the advantages of using clear bases - easier blending with imaging software, although I couldn't imagine mounting anything but a skirmish force on clear bases.

[Gibby]

Such excellent photographs, capturing some dramatic moments!

[Neunfinger]

So...Can the organ gun now open fire on him?
