Looks great
I take it its for a pirate setting?
What rules do you use?

Michi: I don't think copplestone streets and medieval houses are contradicting. But the second thing that I am unhappy with (apart from the foamboard carvings) is the painting. I am not happy with the colours at all and I will need to experiment a lot more until I find colours that make it look better (anyone? )


Actually no, as I find no fault with the color. It reminds me of wet copplestones. For dry copplestones the colors should be lighter, maybe brush a tiny amount of sand color over them afterwards. But apart from that they look just great.

abhorsen950: Gierburg has its own set of skirmish game rules. However, I purposely chose the terrain so that I can use it for Mordheim and Pirates as well.

Doomhippie: Thank you. Once I have more free time I will start working on the streets and then show them here, of course.

Ohhh you play mordheim?
How does it play?

Excellent stuff

Steve

[cianty]

Yes, I do.

Mordheim was my first skirmish game and I never played army battles ever since. We developed an unofficial supplement, Border Town Burning, for it. For all things Mordheim check out Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum.

It's a nice system, despite some balance issues. Of course it's not perfect, that's why I'm working on my own rules with this Gierburg project.

Mini update: Here are some larger diorama shots of Tom's latest painted minis (see on the blog) in the dirty streets of Gierburg:

Sweet Jesus!  Another jaw dropping set up.  Amazingly atmospheric, I can almost hear (and sometimes smell) Gierburg.

The figures themselves are fantastic too.


Wow.

[Hammers]

Gorgeous. My compliments on to how you've finished your Black Cat minis. They have come out dead nice. I find them a little ... difficult.

[Mad Doc Morris]

Stunning stuff. I'm regularly visiting the Gierburg blog, just for getting inspiration and enjoyment. Thanks for sharing!

[DFlynSqrl]

I can but agree. These pictures make the city come alive. Wonderful stuff and great models all around. Superb painting quality, a real eye-candy here...
