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 […]

Tilea Campaign, Part 9

Holy Blessings Upon this Weapon. May it Serve Morr’s Purpose. First Prequel to the Assault on Viadaza Battle Report The city of Remas, Late Spring 2402 As father Biagino and his personal guard walked into the Piazza d’Agezlio, the sky darkened momentarily – nothing more than the shifting of clouds, but to him it was […]

Tilean Steam Tank

(A scratch-build project) Already having made a carroccio (war altar), I was hankerin’ after a steam tank. I had never had one before. What I was aiming for was a ‘steam-tank-light’, with stats reflecting less armour and (possibly) a weaker armament than the official model. In the end I decided I could mount the old […]

Undead Ogres

(Counts-as ‘Crypt Horrors’) Here are the completed (though unbased) undead ogres I made for Tilean campaign. The background is that an NPC Tilean lord (Lord Adolfo of Viadaza), who has some orcen blood in his veins, becomes a vampire and not only raises the dead – having cunningly got rid of the Morrite clergy to […]

Ogres, Part 3

Scratchbuilt Ironblaster I wanted an ironblaster that would ‘go with’ my Scrappie, so once again I used a toy rhino. For the gun I used a pen, parts of a broken (pen) torch and milliput. Very unconvinced by my efforts, I was hoping it would be transformed by a paint job! Here are all the […]
