A dovecote. Because I needed one.
« on: June 22, 2025, 05:12:01 PM »
I am working on a Frostgrave campaign for my local club.  I needed a dovecote for a custom scenario so I whipped one up.  My standard foamex construction. 







It will be used along with my swarms of pidgins.

Among other things.
Hope you like.

Lovely. The guano is a nice touch.

I thought it was just s#it.

Magnificent detail, though I am now curious as to why it was 'needed'.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

Silly question really.  Because I did not have one is the simple answer.   ;D
I made it for use in a custom campaign that I am working on at our local club.  I posted some draft scenarios here for comment.

Most of them have changed a fair bit since that post.  I will post photos and the full scenarios as we play through.  The first two scenarios will be played Tuesday night.

Nice, the interior detail is a fun bonus.

Where do the pigeon flocks come from? I've got a half-timber Tudor-ish dovecote because it was an interesting looking building but some actual pigeons would be a fun addition!
