And now for something completely different, WORLD CREATION!

Behold TERRA SAULIS. My fantasy world, in case I ever play in a game starting from scratch. 

I've gone about making my own fantasy world using inkarnate.com the free version. Took me a solid 10 to 20 minutes to figure out what I was doing but it worked out from there. The map itself took many hours probably around 10. Enjoy the map and I hope it inspires you to do something similar.  The map is largely inspired by the real world, Warhammer Oldworld, and Tolkien's world. 





The Great Quarentine Dump - Mid March to MId July

Hello all and welcome to my first Quarantine Picture Dump post. Hope you enjoy, and I hope you have had a productive hobby quarantine

Here, we start with the Northstar Oathmark Goblin Wolf riders. The riders are wonderful, the wolves on the other hand have a very large seem that bothers me.

These are Gripping Beast Carolingian Warrior Cavalry. I have painted them up in a scheme that I believe is fitting for both Carolingians and a Gondorian type scheme

These are GB Carolingian Hearthguard, painted in the same Carolingian/Gondorian Scheme. 

These were made from individual bricks cut using a proxxon table.  They fit together and can make modular walls/buildings. 


These tables and book cases were also made with the proxxon.  The proxxon solves my problem of impercise cutting, making simple builds much easier.  


These are metal oathmark goblins with a metal GB Pagan Rus

Here we have a mounted pagan priest, along with the Carolingian Hearthguard.

This is a Ragnarok Spider model without the Goblin Howdah. I am quite happy with the forest basing, mostly using my own tufts and rocks. 

I purchased the Welsh at 50% off from Noble Knight Games. I have always loved this range but could never justify buying a Dark Age Welsh army because I already have Late Romans. The sale provided sufficient justification, and I am thrilled how they turned out.


This was an attempt at some tall wild grass using my cheapo applicator. 


Here we have my newest love, unit basing made from vinyl tile and pre-mixed grout.  I press my bases into the grout to create each slot. 

Here is the base stamper and bases prior to tarting up.  



Black Adder and Percy, using Perry war of the roses bodies and heads and old WHFB empire arms


Oathmark Dwarves with crossbow arms from fireforge sergeants. The padded clothing on the crossbowarms actually passes quite well for mail.  

Straightforward Victrix Greeks, with one small archer conversion.

These are Oathmark Elves, with a west wind saxon head on the leader, and Victrix Greek shields.  I printed the shield image (Silmarillion Heraldry), and varnished the paper onto the Greek Shields. 


These are Aventine Imperial Romans. Quite fun and heavily armored. 

Here is a vinyl tile covered with old wargames factory bits. The wargames factory figures (now sold by Warlord Games) are horrible figures and should only be used by Master painters and for dead soldiers for us average joes.  I applied grass later.
