Low-Fantasy desert-town (Conan-Like)

[DonVoss]

Inspired by OP5s great middle-eastern town I builded a fantasy-town for Broadsword-Adventure.
In the first game 3 players had to steal the eye of a long forgotten godlike statue, in a hidden temple.
Encountermarkers revealed the location of the temple and a few nice hings for the players (med-balm, gold, big sword). The scenario was not confrontative from the start, but like in the Conan storys alliances were fragile...

The whole city is more or less my transportable desert village plus a few add ons (citygate etc.):

Birdsview of the small town.



The population is from my WAB-New-Kingdom-Egyptian-Army and other historical minis plus a lot of fantasy-miniatures.
In the scenario the players could interact with all the minis (talk, steal...).



The city-gate. Starting point of the players...










The game was a big success, thanx OP5 for a great set of rules...

Good one, good idea and nice work. Though I like the yellow table from the "Transprtable" thread a bit more. This white one looks to clean.

Nice town! I love the details you have on it (like the stands) that really make it stand out. And sticking the gate in the corner like that is brilliant. For some reason I always run mine parallel to the board edge so I have to add all kinds of wall pieces, but now I have a new way to do it.

I do agree with the Prof. though that a "dirtier" board would be better for a town like this.

Like it, I shall be stealing some of your building designs and ideas if that is ok.

[DonVoss]

Thanx for your comments...
Last night I took the big brush again and repainted much of the city (as you suggested), especially the board itself. I even dded a few dirt effects...



I also added a tower (a bit like teh Elefant-tower in the Conan story).











And I builded a few more market stalls.
Inspired are the stalls by nevermore:

Still a lot of work to do with all thoses little things, that bring a small town to life...

Steal what ever you like...

Now that looks awesome. I love the board. Was it just drybrushing or were inks used as well? It's hard to tell from the shot.

I could really see so many adventures taking place within the town.

[Anatoli]

Looks great!! 

[Traveler Man]

Some lovely detail there (including the shrine to Ol' Squid Features by the market place  ) Nice work! 

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Phantastic! much better!

[Bugsda]

Excellent!

Love it, can i come over to play? 

[Golgotha]

The perfect place to punch a camel. Love the higgledy piggledy bustling appearance of it all - my towns always seem too regimented. Your market stalls, pots, bits and pieces certainly help add characterful flavour.

[Big Martin]

That's superb.

[Hammers]

It's great. Love the new areal. I certainly would like to game that.
