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.

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. ;)

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

The figures themselves are fantastic too.


Wow.

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.
