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, […]

Pike Goblins

(As featured in several battles in the Tilea Campaign.) I reckoned that greenskins fighting in Tilea might attempt to emulate the enemies’ fighting style. So, with this in mind, I started adding extra lengths to their spear shafts. Here you can see the original unit ranked up … I had an old Grom figure already […]

Corpse Cart (Kitbash)

(As seen in the Assualt on Viadaza in Tilea Campaign Part 9) I wanted a corpse cart that looked better than the ‘stand-in’ I had been using. I think you will be able to see why, for this is that stand in! Not exactly awe inspiring. So I took an old chaos chariot and decided […]

‘Cartoon’ Zombies

These feature in the Tilea Campaign Part 9 battle story Assault on Viadaza. They were done in two batches, years apart. First, I painted a regiment of ex-Empire soldiers during a campaign with 6 friends before I started any internet involvement (apart from e-mails). I painted them, cheekily, in one player’s army colours so that […]

Skeletons – Hex Wraiths and Spears

(As seen in Tilea Campaign Part 9) Hexwraiths I didn’t realise how close to the Vampire Count 8th ed Warhammer Army book photos I had made these in terms of colours until I was done. I was wanting something ‘ethereal’ for with their flames, robes and barding, but wanted a contrast with my usual ‘cartoon […]
