Legends of the Gold Sea

[Ironworker]

We are starting a new Fantasy project similar to the Station 42 project.  We are going to focus on a geographic area called "The Gold Sea".  Our first project will be a small coastal village but we will also be building up to a large port city.  This is going to be a pretty generic fantasy setting with a very Mediterranean feel. 

The Gold Sea is named not for it's color but for the massive amount of trade that goes on along it's coast.  It is the richest area in the world and a cultural melting pot.  All manner of fantasy races and monsters will be a part of the setting.  It will be a place of wealthy city states, pirate kingdoms, and clashing empires. 

We plan to create the setting in several different ages.  We will have an Ancient Age, a Dark Age, a Medieval Age, a Renaissance, and an Age of Exploration.  We will accomplish this by making terrain that can be changed out in each location to show the changing times.  We will likely start in the late Dark Age or early Medieval Age. 

This will of course be a long running project so we are starting with a coastal town terrain set that we plan to fit on a 4x4' or 4x6' table. 

I've started painting the minis for it.  Here is a Dwarf Fighter who is a hero in the costal town we are building.  The miniature is from Reaper.

Sweet!  What rule set are you using?

Very nice looking Dwarf Ironworker. 

I'm looking forward to seeing more!

The miniature is from Reaper.

Looking forward to more info and releases there IW.
But the mini, is it straight from Reaper or does it have a tad of conversion in it? :-)

I think the only putty on him is on the base.  I sulpted some of the flagstone. 

As far as rules we will probably be using several different game systems.  Probably Savage Worlds for role playing but we are also going to do miniature skirmish and battle games as well.

Sounds like a great idea. Keep us informed, projects like this tend to have a life of their own once they get rolling.

VERY WELL DONE! I like your style of brushwork & basing. The Beard & leathers contrast splendidly with the dark furs...the background is lovely.

Looks like this could be the start of something great.
No pressure there.

I really like how he came out.  I have the same figure and am pleased with how I painted him, but have to say yours is nicer!
