Greetings!
I am happy to inform you that more Svedonnian models (painted) are on their way. In the meantime I'll show you some sketches I make every now and then.
After skimming through my stash of old rulebooks for Warhammer Fantasy Battles I got inspired to try out the sketch-like landscape illustrations of huge armies and battles that can be found sprinkled across the pages. What illustrations do I mean? Take a look and I think you'll see what I mean.
Recognise this? I have taken to doodling out one or two of these every now and then, I just love the way this style uses general lines and shapes to give suggestions of figures and landscaped. As much as possible is left for the onlooker's imagination.
Greetings!
I thought that in between my many battle reports and maps you'd like to see how I'm doing on the painting table these days. Recently I've been hammering out my Svedonnia collection as there's a narrative map campaign coming up for them, and I need as many of them as possible to defend their homeland. Yes, the campaign is supposed to take place on Svedonnian soil!
Here are some units I've managed to paint up in a couple of weeks:
A Damsel and an Enchantress (which is actually just a mounted Damsel with a glued-on horn) ready to bestow protection upon the valiant knights of Svedonnia. To make them stand out from the crowd I took time to make their colours more magical/brighter than the rest of the army, to mark their position high above the mere mortals trudging in the mud with a sword in hand. I really liked painting their hair, though, as it gave me an opportunity to use some stronger colours in contrast to the dominant blue.
Greetings!
Some time ago you got the chance to take a closer look at the Kingdom of Svedonnia and its various places of high importance. Today you'll get to do the same for Puffington Empire, the home of my Freeguilders.
Hail!
This is the last battle of our Firestorm campaign, the very last. After 6 real-life months of campaigning in the Flamescar Plateau we set up a huge table to play our final, four-way conflict that had the chance to yield handfuls of Glory Points to several factions.
When the game began Order and Death were ticking at 14 Glory Points, Destruction at 9 and Chaos at 25. Thirty points were required to win the campaign.
Each of us drew a hand of cards from our Domain decks, giving each player an army of roughly 1200-1400 points to play the final battle with. We used modified Triumph & Treachery rules and the scenario was Battle for the Artefact. Players could score Victory points in two ways:
1 VP for every 5 wounds inflicted in a phase (yes, phase)
10 VP for having your general carry the Artefact at the end of the game. The Artefact started the game in the middle, and only generals could interact with it by picking it up.
An interesting scenario for four armies to fight. Let's see how it all went down!
