Tilea Campaign, Part 15

Media Vita in Morte Sumus (In the midst of Death we are in Life) Early Spring 2403 Biagino grinned as he scrutinised the two prisoners before him, an expression of joy somewhat marred by the sharp fangs revealed in so doing, and the malignant gleam of his narrowed eyes. They were the only two living […]

The Day of Mourning Early Winter, 2402-2403 Part One: Quiete et Pacifice (Quietly and Peacefully) Outside the Palazzo Montini, Official Residence of the Arch-lector of Morr The street was quiet, more so than it should have been, for today the city was to mourn the passing of the arch-lector Calictus II, and, as was traditional, […]

Tilea Campaign Part 13

Sub Sigillo Confessionis (‘Under the seal of confession’, therefore to be kept secret.) Near the city of Viadaza, in the rear gardens of the Palazzo Sebardi, at the close of Autumn 2402 Lector Bernado could see that Lector Erkhart was ill at ease, being so stilted by the need to suppress some species of twitching […]

Figures to Match!

My campaign player, Ant, whose PC is Jan Valckenburgh, Captain General of the VMC in Tilea, co-wrote the late autumn 2402 story entitled ‘The Once Mighty Monte Castello’ with me. (See Tilea Campaign Part 12.) Of course, I wanted pictures of the personalities involved as nearly all my campaign stories have photos. My first plan […]

Tilean Houses

(As featured as tabletop scenery and photo background throughout the campaign posts.) I will be the first to admit these are ‘basic’. But that was (usually) exactly what I was after – generic looking pieces that could be used multiple times in pictures by showing different sides, etc, and then could be used (in most […]

Horse Artillery & Mounted Crossbows

(As featured in Tilea Campaign Part 12, Late Autumn 2402, (1.) ‘Holier Than Thou‘) One of my pair of galloper guns is the official Bronzino model, the other is a facsimile of my own devising (due mainly to the fact that I couldn’t get my hands on another at anything like a reasonable price, although it […]

Tilea Campaign Part 12

Morr Divided Near Viadaza Autumn 2402 Biagino had not at first thought it unusual that a fellow clergyman should wish to speak with him in private, but when he discovered it was to be a secret rendezvous with a Pavonan priest unknown to him, at the ancient ruins beside Lago di Scandarro, that struck him […]

Tilea Campaign Part 11

The First to Leave (Prequel to ‘What Happened Outside Astiano’, a Battle Report) Trantio, early Autumn IC2402 On almost any other occasion what they were doing would be considered reckless, culpably so – to ride so fast, even at a gallop, through the city, especially when the streets were at their most crowded. But they […]

Tilea Campaign, Part 10

Summer’s End, IC2402 New Arrivals, Part One: REMAS One by one the companies halted, forming a line thirty or so yards from the city walls. The foreigners were as unexpected as they were unusual to most citizens, but it was clear that Captain-General Duke Scaringella had been expecting them, for although the garrison soldiers were […]

Empire Troops

The Pavonan army in my Tilean campaign was originally my Middenheim army, which has been built up over the years. Here are some of the figures and units in that army. The Halberds grew from this … By way of additions like this … To become the regiment here … (If I add more musicians, […]
