My Treemoss fantasy project

[PatrickWR]

Great thread. I browsed the whole thing just now. I love the flavor you managed to capture with your miniatures and terrain. I'm from the U.S. but I have family in Finland, so I'm very familiar with that area of the world. I agree that it provides wonderful inspiration for gaming!

One thing I'd say is don't write off the Song of Blades & Heroes games. They're really ideal for skirmish level gaming, maybe 6-15 figures per side. I'll have to take a look at Hail Caesar now!

Thanks for taking the time PatrickWR, this project surely has grown since the start. Im up to 19pages here on LAF. 

I had some plan to soon host a church raid by heathen norsemen assisted by forest trolls and defended by christian norsemen and monks, and here use the Songs of... rules.

I just need to build me a wooden church to lit on fire...

Its Conquest Games Norman Infantry with Gripping Beast Hirdmen heads and some Wargames Factory arms. Ahh you got to love plastic...

I went over most of the thread and then went and followed you on your blog and put you on my blogroll as well. It's easier for me to go through your work that way.

So how did you solve the problem of the necks being attached to the torso on Gripping Beast and the necks being attached to the head on Conquest?

This is some stellar kit bashing and you've got yourself one unique unit here.

Also went through this thread for the first time. The mood created by this project is absolutely beautiful - having it all tied together with a theme makes it just a joy to look at, let alone game on. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for your coments. Its warming.

The neck problem was solved with left over arms from a Wargames factory kit.
The necks on these models are really the upper arms or shoulders from those bits. Glad that kit could be of some use.. 

The joints were then hidden with liquid greenstuff. Great, fast and easy way of doing it.

I wanted to include some riders, but I coulnt find any nice ones on the market soo I kitbashed some.

They look wonderful, sir, as if they were meant to be.

Lovely stuff. I always know I'm in for a treat when you update this thread.

Loving the forest bases  , such depth and variety, nice one!

[Doomhippie]

I can't believe I never wrote anything here!!! Where have my eyes been? This is a really nice thread and though I haven't looked at everything yet (having just realized it was here... ), I will most certainly come back and have a closer look.

Very nice and inspirational from what i have seen so far.

[Engel]

Thanks guys. 

About time I had some dwarves in this project...
The miniatures are from Red Box Games.

Many many more pictures at: http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.se/2013/05/the-seven-dwarves.html





And as of a coincidence I noticed that I got seven dwarves, which must mean I must find a miniature that could work as a Norse version of Snow-white…


Tre is currently running a new Kickstarter campaign and this time its all lead...
