Hi Digits,
Sounds interesting. Have you thought about using a different type of token to activate the horrors? Simple but may work. I play mortal gods which use different coloured gems, rather than tokens.

Cheers.    I still think there will have to be a monster player….so the ToH drawing style may well work….with different monsters ranked as “leaders” or particularly brutish.   I may then have to re think having randomly determined actions for them….or have a hybrid whereby they can opt not to resort to type….on a test of will for example…..

Anyway, I need to sort the basics out first….one for the next few weeks to ponder!

Not sure what the hell happened to my ascii lettering but hey ho?must be a site problem!

Anyway, painted a few more Oshiro buildings, dovcote, grain store and a partially finished house?though I?m tempted to leave the plaster in painted?not sure yet.

Anyway, was just messing about and took a few more pics, mostly of horrors mind.

That's the biggest gaming cemetery that I have ever seen. The lighting and mood is spectacular!! Did you game in that light level too?? It sure would have been epic!!

Well done and thanks for sharing.

I admit this wasn?t a game, I was just taking a few pics of the new buildings?but having only recently bought the light(cheap from Amazon) we have used it for a few night games of 0200 hours works a treat.



Also based and painted a small well that fits in nicely.




Cheers, and I have recently amassed more graves and sarcophagi, including a set from Debris of War, more Renedra ( so they all fit in with the existing stones) and a few I found on Amazon.

Also, after weeks of searching, I found the raised monument I?d seen and didn?t record?.so ordered one to give me a focal point in the centre of the yard.   Ordered a couple of A4 sheets of styrene?so I guess a major expansion is now on the cards!

The atmospheric light on your nice buildings was a very good idea!  :)

Re: Dog Rough Soldiers - mausoleum

Cheers.

Ok, so whilst waiting on the pavilion and other grave stones etc?I decided to paint the TableTop World mausoleum.  I like this piece as it is not overly GW Gothic as are most pieces you can buy.  I don?t see a huge preponderance of skulls when I walk around a regular graveyard!

To make it fit in, I added a few loose and  leaning gravestones.

Talking of fitting in?..I realise finally too that to make this work properly for the setting, I will need to buy ANOTHER church?..probably a nice printed Norman church I keep eyeing up.   That will work far better for old England me thinks?.oh and a nice matching lychgate too?
