My Treemoss fantasy project

[dijit]

It's one of those funny things, that whenever I see an update on this project I know it's going to be good. It really does look fantastic. Out of curiousity which rulesset did you use?

Thanks Djiit, I tested Hail Ceasar. I will post more pictures, the stats and so on, later on. There are lots and lots of more pictures from these games in the pipe.

The good thing with this project is that Im not locked to one set of rules, I can always switch rules acording to the scale of the game or what seems interesting at the moment...

Krig i tomteskogen...
(war in the gnomeforest for all je aenglish speaking people)


Lots and lots of more pictures on my blog http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.se/2012/08/krig-i-tomteskogen.html

I tried out the Hail Caesar rules in a fantasy world setting and maybe not to surprising it worked. 
I think some of the stats I used could get some tweking here and there but the basic is just great.

I love this whole project, Engel. Inspirational, and a great sense of story. It's great to see all these models get some table time.

I always imagined a very overgrown, dark green mossy forest as the battleground, so it was a bit strange to see them fighting on a sandy wasteland, but it's amazing stuff regardless. 

[Engel]

Thank you Tomogui, I imagined the battles taking place just outside the big forest just besides the human settlemen.

But you are all to right.
I realy need to get me a propper forest soon.

The games looks very cool indeed and I'm impressed by the fact that you successfully used Hail Caesar!  I did imagine a more skirmish-orientated game, but this looks great!  Just one question: where are the gnomes?

[tomogui]

Just one question: where are the gnomes?

Just like ninjas, if you could spot them easily, they wouldn't be gnomes!

But I did spot a couple of perilously-situated gnomes on Engel's blog:

[Funghy-Fipps]

The analogy between gnomes and ninjas is not one I'd ever thought of before: but it does make sense!  I take it the little guys didn't fare too well against their trollish adversaries?   

[Engel]

Haha, thanks guys. Gnomes and ninjas is just great. 

I have updated it with some better description under some of the pictures.

The original plan was to get a skirmish oriented game but the project had grown over time to a size that I could pull up a small battle instead.

So, I hadn't heard of Bauer before I read this thread. I'm a fan of Rackham and like the Bauer images posted here, so I ordered this book:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0863154573/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i00

Got it today- really cool illustrations. Haven't had a chance to read it yet though.  

Anyway, thanks for posting your project Engel!

If you like Bauer you should check out Kittlesen.  Obviously a Norwegian artist would be better than a Swedish one...  


Addendum:  Given there are a fair few Swedes on LAF, why are there so few Norwegian members?  Any ideas?

Addendum II:  I won't even start on the Finns.

[Engel]

I know a few but my guess is that most of them are eaten by a Rimtusse or a Raglefant.

Ive seen some of Kittlesens work before but thanks for sharing. Never bad to have many inspirational sources.

Kittelsen is not not a patch on Bauer. Not nearly the same subtlety.

I have to agree on this statement.

Don't worry Norwegians, you still have Odd Nerdrum!

Although, I think he was born in Sweden...

The last games (showed earlier here) got me interested in this project again and here we got some new terrain.
