Dog Rough Soldiers - Norman Church

[has.been]

It's just one plot after another with you David. 
Excellent work.

[Digits]

Ha?cheers.

So arrived back from army council to find post has been?..so a quick sanding up?.and it?s huge!   This will dominate the centre of the graveyard for sure!



It comes with interchangeable sarcophagus covers, and if you leave the cover off it has a stair down to a hidden crypt?.as suggested to me?perfect for an off table ?side table?.

David,

Honest opinion? That looks more 18th C or 19th C Victorian folly than anything 17thC, so yeah, more Highgate than parish graveyard. It's also going to seriously dominate your burial ground.

If it's the sort of thing erected by a local knob to honour his late departed or enclose their own mortal remains then it would be more likely to be built on their estate. If they were minor knobs they would be buried in the crypt beneath the church.

Impressive bit of kit but just doesn't seem to fit with the theme IMO. Obviously, your toys your choice.

[Digits]

I actually agree with you?it really isn?t very 17th century at all, but I like the model and will probably have to overlook the fact.  I will do my best to ?cover it in hessian?  as we reenactors are fond of saying! Lol

Or you could just save it for a VBCW/WW2 scenario. Kill All The Characters in Brideshead Revisited. 

It's got a sort of Brideshead/ Castle Howard kind of vibe to it.

I like it 

Do you buy all your printed scenery from the same retailer, or are you constantly shopping around for what you can find?

[Digits]

I tend to buy as and when I like what I see, so different suppliers usually.

Saying that, given a choice, I would opt for one I have experience of if good.

[vodkafan]

 I love it !

[Digits]

Thanks James!   

Now to find my paint?.

[Digits]

Finally got hold of a few bits from Redoubt.   I need a few Bloody Minis heads for some of them, otherwise this is what I wanted to do.   A gathering up of witches!

Awaiting a ducking stool now which will need modifying a tad.  Time is running short for the witches me thinks?

[anevilgiraffe]

ones got loose!

[Digits]

There always needs to be an element of jeopardy!

[Malamute]

Very nicely done, that's a cracking conversion.

You say: 'Witches'

We say: 'Women's Institute' or 'Parish Council'

You say: 'Cauldron'

We say: 'A rather nice apricot jam, will need keeping in the jar for a few weeks'.

You say: 'Ducking stool'.

We say: Oh Christ! Not another one of those fund raising calendars where women of a certain age get their kit off and pose artistically..... there's not enough mind bleach in the world to remove the image of a semi-naked Mrs Blenkinsop after being burned into the retinas.

Very nice conversion work. Look forward to seeing the ladies painted up.

[Digits]

Ha!

So, ducking stool from Warbases.   I removed four planks from the base as it simply looked too wide to actually transport it around the county…presumably in the back of a wagon.

Couldn’t quite get the hands to line up on the back end with the base size I used, but good enough.




Work also moves on a wee pace with me modifying the ToH rules to suit my needs.   Just about finished the QRF, and have started making the cards for the human troops.   I will be making witches ( and werewolves) the most numerous and dangerous foes me thinks.

These cameo pieces will really be the trigger for violence……over zealous treatment of the village womenfolk is bound to push a few buttons….
