3 musketeers skirmish board
« on: 30 August 2023, 02:24:38 PM »
A couple of years ago I painted some figures for a friend for Pikemans Lament.
He then decided these would be good for a 3 musketeer skirmish game.
He sent some pics of everything Ive done so far.
Board, buildings,figures and some scenery/clutter done
Civilians and more scenery bits to follow

That looks very impressive!

I love the medieval street vibe that still works in the 18th century. The gate especially sets the stage, together with all of the street clutter.

Is the stone texture on the streets rolled?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Cheers
The street texture is textured wallpaper, sprayed with Halfords brown,khaki and grey

Great stuff. Can you give us a rundown of the suppliers for your figures and terrain?

Think the figures are Bohemian(?)
Fountain is Hovels
The 2 buildings with full roofs are by Conflix, both based and repainted
The other buildings are scratchbuild using foamboard, card,balsa.
The individual terrain pieces are from a variety of sources such as Redoubt, Foundry, 3d prints and unknown resin pieces

Huge improvement on the factory paint jobs.

Lovely set up, the wall paper is perfect as town paving, and the buildings are perfect for the job and nicely finished.  8)
What size is the board? I am interested in this size of game.

Thank you.
Board is about 60cm x 40cm
It was a convenient piece of mdf I had lying around
