Making Tilean Roads

My new (cheap*) method of making ‘ancient’ Tilean roads 1.Draw lines then stones on foam card 2. Score lines with a scalpel and peel off edges (free hand makes for natural wobbly-ish lines to give a not too neat edge to the paving stones). 3. Score then peel off the strips in between the paving […]

Fortifications

In no particular order, here are some quick and cheap fortification ideas. Domino walls Buy cheap dominoes. You’ll need the boxes as well as the dominoes. Carve/scrape some stone-like surfaces to the dominoes and glue them down onto the boxes … Chop some dominoes in half to make the crenelations …. Foam board glued behind […]

Zombie Cultists!

Undead cultists (as seen in Tilean Campaign Part 16) The newly made vampire Biagino’s main source of corpses, by his own preference, was the great pile of fallen Morrite dedicants (cultist flagellants) lying upon the battlefield of Ebino. Because all my existing zombies were dead Empire soldiers or dead pirates, I needed new zombie figures, […]

Tilea Campaign, Part 17

The End of Spring 2403 Part Two: A Letter from Antonio Mugello to my most noble Lord Lucca Vescucci of Verezzo Forgive me, my lord, for the untidiness of my writing, but I am forced by circumstances to pen this missive both in haste and in conditions unconducive to legibility. For the first time in a […]

Tilea Campaign, Part 16

The Battle of Diocleta, continued Spring, IC 2403 (Turn 2) At almost the same moment, all the ogres who had turned to run now came to a halt, re-ordered themselves and re-joined the line. Those lead-belchers on the right who had not run away now charged the huntsmen … … while in the centre of […]

Necropolis Kit Bash

As seen in Tilea Campaign Part 15 (‘Media Vita in Morte Sumus’). I wanted to expand the footprint of the GW Necropolis scenery. So I turned each tomb into its own piece with its own base, as well as the statue. Then I modelled a graveyard to go in between the walls instead of the […]

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 […]

Tilea Campaign Part 14

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 […]
