You could add enough river to the edge of the map so an opponent (or allied reinforcements) could park a ship or two from which to begin their assault. You could make another table to represent the basements, dungeons, sewers and catacombs below the surface of this map.
I love both of these ideas.
The name of the Tavern in my WHF roleplaying game that my players frequent is 'The Pikeman's Lament', as it's set in a farming area which sees it's populace often be conscripted as front line soldiery for the Empire, i think it definitely matches the theme of the town you've built!
That’s a really good name, also a name for some ECW rules I think.
@@MiniatureRealms it was also a tribute to the ECW system! I used to run tt battles at 15mm at key plot points
That is a great reference!
Technically the events in Mordheim are already set during the period in which ToW covers. The Time of the Three Emperors covers 1547-2304 IC. The comet struck Mordheim in 1999 IC, so it's smack-bang in the middle of the timeline.
Regarding non-GW at WHW: I recently played at a 6th edition event there with three non-GW units in my army. As long as you're not taking the piss they genuinely couldn't care. Most of the staff I encountered were probably younger than 6th ed and wouldn't have known even GW models of that era from a hole in the head 🤷♂️
Another tip: Artis Opis are just Rosemary & Co. brushes sold at a premium.
I think they’ve said that TOW will be based late in The Time of the Three Emperors, in the years leading up to the Seige of Praag, which was 2301 I think? So you’re in that large time period, but I think it looks like it might be quite a bit after 1999. My planned campaign can be flexible anyway, it’s the location that’s more important.
Good news on the WHW front, that was what I expected of in honest, but didn’t want to take the the risk of loads of 3d printed stuff.
I love Rosemary & Co, been using them for years now, wasn’t surprised when I found out they made artist opus. They have started doing the drybrushes now as well, I just got 6 for £20 on Amazon and thought I’d give them a go. The ones I got are called FuuMuui, three sizes, two of each. The larger two are very good and compare well to Artist Opus/Rosemary, the smallest doesn’t hold shape as well, so I will likely restock my Artist opus one from Rosemary & Co.
You could call it the Forsaken Inn in a little nod to the terrain pieces being LOTR kits and your homebrew lore being that of an abandoned/forsaken town, making it a forsaken inn in the eyes of the Bretonnians who discovered it
Like that a lot, could just make it Forsake Inn, I’ll add it to the poll.
Journeys End Inn comes to mind. The Hanged Man from DA game. Giggling Marlin Inn-(Bar in Cabo Mexico). The Captains Quarters Inn. Maniacal Mermaid. I'll stop now since I am starting to annoy myself. Cheers!
😆 Some great ideas, thank you.
It’s so grimdark and beautiful! Amazing job!
Thank you 😊
Absolutely glorious, I would be so proud to have made that
Thank you very much 😊
One of the most inspiring projects I've seen on UA-cam! It looks like a World of Warcraft map in real life, and so conveniant to transport and store. Well done! :)
Thank you, that’s really kind 😊
Very impressive work! I'd love to see more terrain set in the Border Princes, it's such a classic idea for a WH campaign
Thank you 🙂. I’m going to be setting most my games there I think, so I think I’ll be doing more. It will be quite generic I think, old lore seems to suggest that the lands cover most types for swamp to almost desert in the south, wastelands and grasslands as well.
Inn Names
The Pig's Ear, The Hunchbacks Hovel, The Giggling Goose, The Cat Tail Inn (cat tails are a type of plant as well), The Squires Gauntlet, The Golden Lance, The Baffled Ram, The Blind Badger, The Stag & Steer, The Gallows ( also side not gallows where used historically to weigh goods so when not used for execution would be used for trade ) The Sable unicorn, The Broken Wheel, The Barons Goblet, The Thatched Fanny (fanny being a nickname for the name Francis and Francis meaning Frenchman or freeman so really its the thatched Frenchman or freeman so roughly translated the covered frenchman or the frenchman who is covered )
What an awesome list thank you.
My suggestion for the inn would be “The Prancing Pegasus”.
A nod to both Bretonnia & LOTR (since you used some of those kits). Great video, thanks
Great idea, and thank you.
Stunning job, looks wonderful!!
Thank you 😊
How about the "SLAUGHTERED PRINCE" for the pub?🍻
A great video (shared with other fellow nerds).
Reason for the pub name, as well as fitting into the Border Princes, but it was also the Inn in Stardust film, which has lots of classic fantasy elements.
I haven't played Mordheim YET either, but hoping it'll come back as it remains my favourite "never played" game & I am looking forward to the "new" Old World opportunities.
Really enjoyed your make, it'd fit in well with either Mordheim or your area.
Anyway, Slaughtered Prince.
Thank you Marcus, really glad you like it. Love the name as well, I’ll add it to the list for the poll. 🙂
Inn name suggestion: The Goblin's Armpit
For the Artis Opus drybrushes, you can pickup the actual brushes from Rosemary & Co without the branding and markup, since R&Co produce those brushes for AO ("model dry brush set").
Like that name, will add it to the poll.
I’m big fan of Rosemary & Co, been using them for years, I wasn’t surprised when I found out they made Artis Opus.
Love the painting system you have used and show off here. So simple but so effective and effective! Great work!
Thank you very much 🙂
This is exceptional work. Also, I too, am theming my Old World army in line with two Mordheim warbands. My buddy is setting our next campaign in Kemri, itself. Thank you for this inspiration.
Thank you, and that’s amazing, I’d love to see/hear more about it.
That looks absolutely amazing! I’ve always wanted to play Mordheim. Hopefully with the Old World coming out soon I’ll have a chance. If you are still accepting name recommendations for the inn, the inn for my 9 year old niece’s D&D campaign is The Grumpy Puppy. She got a good laugh out of it when she first heard it.
Thank you 😊
Love the name, I’ll definitely add it to the poll 🙂
Ahhhh, me nostalgia!! Simply fantastic! You've got me inspired to gear up and get all my old Warhammer armies pulled out of the closet and rebased. I feel so fortunate to also own one of the Warhammer Mighty Fortresses with extra wall sections. I really love what you do with terrain and the color schemes you use, you've got a keen eye for aesthetics!
Thank you Mike you’re very kind as always 😊
A lovely board, but for Mordheim, you want some open ruined buildings that your guys can occupy or shoot out of windows from. Only one or two of them should be closed in on all sides like the ones you have. Mordheim was designed to be played on a board full of husks of buildings with lots of levels and lots of walkways. You also want to make a few ruined walls that are actually ramps for multiple warriors to walk up - the rubble becomes a ramp and the gap becomes an opening to get around the wall.
I have played Mordheim with those walls and they end up being a bit of a pain for everyone if not used correctly. If you don't put gaps and breaks in them, then everyone gets stuck with their side of the wall and unable to deal with the other side of the wall. If you are "outside" the walls and climb a ladder onto the wall, your guy is basically dead, as there is no cover on them and usually only two directions to go from there, which will lead to areas of no cover on the wall. They are also going to be all by themselves as you can't get many people up a ladder at the same time. A rubble wall is a good fix for this.
I would also suggest making some buildings that widen the walls and add cover to them on the other side. Like a building that is built up against the walls and has an entrance at that level, as well as expanding the wall where the entrance is. If that makes sense?
Thank you.
I’m definitely going to be adding a ruined wall (I need that for siege games as well), as well as some lean to buildings, scatter terrain. Planning to maybe add a building or two that is under construction, as that might help with the levels, the whole point of the setting for my campaign is that it’s not ruined, it’s not Mordheim etc. I’ve been directed to Empire in Flames as well, as that’s obviously rules for wilderness, and a different kind of ‘Mordheim’ game.
great table!
But for Mordheim I would prefer more open buildings, like open Windows, two broken walls and more ladders and footbridges.
Maybe with 3d prints you can make it look like it is not finished and still building.
Then you both: a great stage for Bretonia and a broken city for Mordheim
BUT!!!
I am not strong enough to start a project like this, I am happy that all my mordheim miniatrues so far are painted . .
Just around 150 elves and board games minis to paint :(
So please take my words not critical - I am jalous of people like you who create great tables!
Thank you, some very good thoughts. I guess my motivation for this style was more based on the theme rather than how the game might play, I didn’t want it to look destroyed like Mordheim, but I like your idea of having some buildings ‘under construction’. I may have to add some, thank you.
Excellent work might see If I can do something similar. Black magic craft recently did something by using flexible caulking for roads on a roll up mat, which might make things easier to blend...? . Inn name - The Fisherman's Repos
Thank you, I’ll take a look for the Black Magic Craft video, sounds interesting, I like the name, will add it to the poll. 🙂
What you are describing is "Empire In Flames", which is Mordheim rules for the rest of the empire.
get yourself a copy, or burn off a PDF online. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you. Yep already been flicking through it, will be very helpful for games outside the town walls etc.
This is beautiful! What wallpaper did you use for the cobblestone roads (Name/Brand/Link)? I'm thinking of making a table for my local Warhammer store and the cobblestone look would work really nice with the recent release of the new Cities of Sigmar and could possibly kickstart some of us to play Mordheim at the store.
Thank you. Sadly I’ve owned that roll of wallpaper for years, my memory of where I purchased it and the packaging have long since vanished I’m afraid. I seem to remember there were many options back when I looked though, so I think a trip to a DIY store should see you covered.
Awesome video, great inspiration for my future board! I have been collecting various pieces over the last year and you gave great examples of buildings I can use.
Thank you 😊
Fantastic looking gaming table, Mordheim rules fit anywhere, wouldn't bother me where you set a campaign as long as we get to play. Nice fisherman's shack from left overs, bet that roof lets the rain in .. wonderfully miserable, perfect for the old world. Like that inn .. how about The Flying Hogfish .. yes, thats a Jabberwocky pun, great movie.
Look forward to your updates, scatter terrain barrels, crates, barricades, notice board, maybe even another piece of castle wall you could ruin and swap out for variety. I'm sure you'll think of lots of cool ideas.
Love Jabberwocky, wonderfully dark, very early Warhammer feel to it. I’ll add that name in the mix.
Scatter terrain is a great idea, definitely need some of that. I do want to add a ruined wall at some stage as well, will be very hand for siege games.
That’s a great job! I’m late to the party but recognised this from another UA-cam with Jordan Sorcery at Warhammer world. It’s really nice to see how you created such a striking and ambitious project.
Thank you 😊
This project is really impressive
I have a question regarding the Gorilla white glue, does it not shrink like oridnary wood glue does?
I want to make a board using rolls of grass glued to XPS foam, but I'm not certain as to what glue use. I don't want any warping
Thank you.
It will shrink a little, but I’ve not found it to be be so much that I’ve found it noticeable. I’ve not however done what you’re suggesting, but I’d imagine you’d be fine.
Great looking board, the only thing I'd suggest is some scatter terrain. Hay bales, boxes, barrels etc. Maybe a set of stocks? Easy compared to the work you've already put in
Thank you. Definitely planning some scatter terrain, I think it’s needed, and it would really add character. Love the idea of the stocks as well.
Perfect video for a lazy Saturday afternoon, while working on some terrain myself. Awesome looking table, so much effort, love that little fishing shack, oh and the name for the inn, how about the Rusty Hook? 👍🏻
Thank you, and glad you enjoyed the video as well. Like that name, will add it to the list for the poll.
Looks great! Truly envious, my only complaint would be the colour of the water, I think some more green/dirty water would fit the feeling of the rest better. And if I recall correctly, that dark blue is more reserved for oceans (in real life).
Thank you, and you’re probably right. It’s meant more as part of a small estuary off the Black Gulf, so should definitely be more murky.
very cool but there are so much better Fortresses so much cheaper I downloaded and printed a giant French palace and walls for about forty bucks total...I have a Mighty Fortress and it looks silly beside it comparatively....you can do a complete MordHeim town for pennies on the dollar. Investing in a Printer will pay for itself in no time.
Thanks Jeff.
Yes you’re correct, so many lovely printable options out there, and a FDM printer is on my shopping list to do some of the things you’ve suggested. The use of GW kits was very much deliberate, as I mentioned a bit in the video, I need it ‘Warhammer World Legal’, I’m planning some games at WHW with friends, and I don’t think GW would be too accepting of me waltzing in with boxes of 3d printed stuff. I will be doing some for future tables though, perhaps exploring deeper into the town.
Excellent board, you may find it a little open for mordheim, a bunch of carts and other things around the market would help. As would a couple of fountains or statues.
Along with this it might be cool to add some more remnants of a higher ground level, much like the chapel is placed on to add some dynamic verticality. Perhaps also in this regard some roof balconies on the houses. some ladders going from rooftop peak to rooftop peak too.
The flow of gameplay on this table also may play in a very divided way. In a siege scenario this isnt so much of an issue, but in a mordheim game, I suspect much of the outside space would be unused. Therefore being able to replace a wall section of the fortress wall with a broken one, (perhaps collapsed in to rubble in the middle) would allow the external space to move in to the internal through more than just the gate. An alternate option may be to create a sewer like entrance through the bottom of one of the side walls, with a big circular/arched grate (broken/openable?) sewer grate.
External space might also benifit from some farming details, a field or two, rows of tall corn that figures can fit between, with fences coming away from the fortress walls, this would also allow for some cover for aproaching forces in gameplay.
Regardless of all of my suggestions this is a really wonderful build. And as for the tavern, The Lady of the Lake Inn.
Thank you, some really excellent advice there as well.
I was definitely conscious of lack of the some of the vertically of the board, but also wanted to keep the ‘setting’ on theme, but you’ve definitely given me some ideas.
Fields are a great idea, and I’ve got plenty of those knocking about ready just to add. Also scatter terrain, I’m building a list of bits now. Another wall section to build as collapsed is already on my shopping list, but I also really like your sewer idea, and that should be very easy to add.
Thank you again.
As it is a new Bretonian town I feel the in should have a name that fits with them. How about “The Lady’s Favor “, as many knights would carry their beloved’s kerchief with them until they were together again.
I really like that, I’ll add that to the list for the poll.
I came across this by accident but now I am inspired to make an Inn and possibly a blacksmith building for my Cities of Sigmar army I had 2 lake town houses I didn’t know what to do with now I will work on a city of my own
I’m glad you’re inspired, those would definitely be perfect to accompany a Cities army.
Really nice video!
But how does the glue and texture paint hold up after the mat being rolled up a few times?
Would like to do something similar on a mat for WW2 bolt action.
I’ve not rolled it up tight to find out if I’m honest, I plan on only loosely rolling it enough to fit through my loft hatch, and occasionally pop in the car. It’s more an exercise in it not being on fixed boards, than being able to store it with my cloth or neoprene mats of that makes sense.
How do you store the mat? Does it roll up or does that bring the texture off?
Just considering these ideas for my own projects (because they look awesome) and as you mention, storage is always the first concern.
For this one I only very loosely roll it, and then store it in my loft on its end. And when I mean loosely, I mean not much more than back on itself. I’m lucky I have space, just not space for large boards. I think I could probably roll it tighter, but it’s not worth the risk.
I’ve used this method before just without the wallpaper on, so mud effect and airbrushed ink, that rolls up fine. In the next month or so I’m going to do a shorter tutorial on just a mat like that.
I wonder how much of the old citadel WHFB range they are going to bring back for the old world. Stuff like the inn and watchtower and such.
I really hope they do, I’d argue they need few suitable pieces of terrain available, AOS doesn’t have anything to ‘steal’ these days.
You should be really proud of that. Brilliant job! 👍 How about a tipple in the Ogres Nipple. :D
Thank you 😊, love the name too, I’ll add it to the poll.
Call it The Rats 'Ole or The Crown (obv) Sigmars Hammer..
Like them, will add them to the Poll, thank you.
Incredible work 🎉🎉🎉 congratulations on this. Absolutely stunning. For the inn, maybe a Bretonnian feel like “The Sword and Shield “, “The Wild Stallion “, or “The Lady’s Chalice” maybe? Great work 👏👏👏
Thank you very much 😊. Like those names, I’ll be adding them to the poll.
Very nicely done. I like the setup and the history you are giving to your town. As for the Inn I like "The Shield an Stain" as it shields the travelers from the weater and provides ample sustenance to all ;)
Thank you 🙂. Like the name, I’ll be adding that to the list for the poll.
22:00 Looks like birds pooed all over it! 😅
The board looks gorgeous btw. You could aso try painting white in between the leading on some of the windows then using Iyanden yellow to make it look like there is candle light inside!
Oooh I like that idea, may go back and give that a try.
The town looks great! The only thing I can think is maybe it needs a water well? Or a gallows....
Thank you. I might have to add a well, that would look good. It has a gallows, couldn’t resist that.
Hold on. If they wouldn't let you use 3rd party terrain, what about home made stuff?
I’d hope they’d be ok with that, I guess time will tell.
great video. In the last few month(and after alle the witchhunter models that where released for the AoS range i often thught about doing a Mortheim project too. Idea for the name of the Inn. The drunken minstrel
Thank you. I’ve been collecting those together as well, along with some other bits for conversions, video coming in a couple of weeks I predict. Love the name, I’ll add it to the poll.
I know I'm super late but my Warhammer Inn started at the Plott and Hook. If you're still looking for a name :D otherwise this build looks amazing.
Thank you 😊, and that’s a really great name too.
The inn: Dice roll Inn. Thinking of the series Rome, with Titus Pullo rolling dice.
Excellent one, thank you.
Wow that is one good looking table! Where did you get those Towers and walls? Are they not oop? Are there some printers making them?
Thank you. I got the castle on eBay, they’re on there quite often.
I never got that whole not allowed to bring stuff not belonging to GW to make the game better. So much bs.
Yeah it’s a shame, and made worse by how small and limited their terrain range is right now. But I also understand why.
Maybe a plank walkway at halfheight of the platform at the center tower
That’s a cool idea
The Inn of the Last Home.
The whole project looks amazing, excellent job!
Thank you, love the Dragonlance reference, I’ll add the name to the poll 🙂
This was so good dude - brilliant stuff, incredibly inspirational and what an active Ent to have made all that in such a short period of time - I hope to see some games on it soon! Damian
Cheers Damian. 😊
pretty sure active Ents can do more work than Huorns rofl
What a spectacular build, I bet that will be amazing to play on! Great work Stu, really inspiring stuff!
Thank you Jordan, we need to plan on that gaming day at WHW now.
The table looks very nice. I'm struck by the lack of chimneys though.
Thank you. Odd your the second person to mention the chimney’s in as many minutes, must admit it didn’t spring to mind at all, but now you’ve mentioned it, odd they’re not in the design (though I guess the design was copied from The Hobbit films, so not a GW thing).
The inn should be "The Dragon with the Flagon" in homage to the Court Jester
Like it, thank you. Will add it to the poll.
Maybe make a ruined wall section (where the extra black wall was) so that in games its easier to move into the town?
It’s a very good idea, one that enough people have mentioned that I think it might have to happen. I was planning on adding one for siege games anyway.
I reckon the pub should be the dancing donkey....
Thank you, I’ll add it to the list for the poll 🙂
Wow that is an amazing terrain setup!👍 So many interesting techniques to try; thanks for sharing the process. I am really intrigued by the mat. Portability but with that texture is really great. The pub? Well, a previous landlord had an expensive sign painted with a Black Swan. Many years have passed and the sign is very worn. Most patrons now just call it the Dirty Duck 😀.
Thank you Andy, love the name too, I’ll add that in the mix and the poll I think.
the mat looks amazing. can you make in the future more tutorials about mats?
Thank you. Yes I think I might, having done the mat for this, I’m tempted to do a 6x4 for my Old World Games that sort of matches.
This is great, would love to see the mordheim batreps on the channel too
Thank you 🙂
I don't know if it's too late but my favorite name for a fantasy tavern or inn has always been the drunken beaver
Not too late at all, like it, I’ll add it to the list for the poll.
The Inn should be called The Left Leg or The Jolly Rodger
Like it!
I'd call the in the Hanged Fish. Little nod to Mordheim
Very good, I’ll add it to the list for the poll 🙂
The Tavern should be called the "Just Swan Inn"
Like it, will add it to the poll 🙂
Superb work! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😊
amazing board I know i'm late but how about the Dew Drop Inn for a name
Thank you, and not late at all, the video has not been out for long, will continue to get names for the poll for a week or so.
😮 Me thinks it’s Time for you to stock up on your glue 😂😂
😆 Yeah I did get through a bit
Awesome build dude! What was the cobblestone wallpaper you used? It looks really effective.
Thank you 🙂. Someone else asked about the wallpaper, I’m afraid I bought it too many years ago to remover it’s name or even where I got it. I do remember there being lots of suitable stuff though.
@@MiniatureRealms ah no worries, many thanks for the super swift reply! Loving your channel bud.👍🏼
absolutely amazing board m8,,,u've done a grand job on it....i am interested on what paint u used on the inns roof as ive struggled with getting a decent hay/thatched roof effect.
Thank you 😊. The thatched roof is a zenithal base, drybrushed white, then Nazdreg yellow contrast, then some Model Color Iraqi sand after.
@@MiniatureRealms thanks for the reply,,,i'll hav a go with those colours , cheers
cool video, really nice terrain kitbashing going on
Thank you Frederik 🙂
Great tutorial! What speedpaint did you used in 25:28 ?
Thank you. I’m pretty sure it’s Palid Bone 🙂
Should the floor cobblestone be drybrushed? I'm just wondering if it would look more realistic or worse.
Came here from Jordan Sorcery's new video btw, that board looks amazing!
Thank you 😊. You could definitely drybrush it, the detail is quite shallow so I wanted to avoid it looking messy.
the inn should be called "the Friars Flatulence"
Brilliant, I’ll add it to the poll.
Great looking terrain, my self is in the progress of building a table. Pitty the buildings arent playble. I also started using the gondor kit to create a “wealthy” part of the town and then I will have to make some other buildings.
That’s a great idea using the Gondor terrain. I’m going to be leaning into the ‘Empire in Flames’ rules for the narrative here, so much of it is sneaking about in the town and it’s surroundings with the buildings inhabited rather than ruins, but I will add a couple that are playable.
I am magnetizing the terrain - partially to create multiple options and have a « flatter » packing. For the more medieval feeling I am looking for different options.
Sad that GW refuses to bring Mordheim back. It was such a great game.
They may do one day. The Specialist Design Studio is pretty small, but they do seem to be cycling through some old games, and if The Old World is a success then it’s more likely I guess. Old game is well lived though, not sure many would like that messes with, all the rules and supplements available free online, and a freedom to use any minis. I’d like to see a return though, it always drives community involvement like no old game can do on its own.
Check out frostgrave. It has Mordheim vibes and is a great game
@MiniatureRealms total war warhammer has sparked the community and has sold out GW supplies and is a massive success, only issue is scalpers and GW inability to meet supply demands.
Sometimes it is better for fans that companies not to touch their past glories in modern times because they would destroy them. You have tons of official and fan-made Mordheim material, plus a virtually inexhaustible source of Mordheim-themed miniatures... You could be playing Mordheim from today until you're 100 years old and the only one who would make those games original and fun would be you and your friends, not GW.
@turulero it’s certainly very true that there’s more than enough to sustain the game for a long time yet, a slight question about player base drifting away the older the game gets, but right now it’s is very healthy for an oop game.
A new version would bring many new players, and that’s one of the biggest positives. I guess that many would see that as a threat as well. Whatever happens in the future, what exists now will still exist, so those who want to continue as they are can. I’d be happy with either outcome.
looks great mate 🤩 might get some news on the old world tommorrow
Thanks mate 🙂, I’m looking forward to 14:00 to see what we get.
incredibly inspiring! the pigment powder and texture paint on the houses is such a nice touch. love it! :D an idea for the name of the inn could be "the merry mermaid"... :D
Thank you 😊, like the name, adding it to the list for the poll.
Great build! I was wondering, how does the mat roll up once you have the mud affect on it?
Thank you. I only roll it very lightly, almost just a quarter of its size, definitely wouldn’t roll it tight.
@@MiniatureRealms Good to know! Thanks for letting me know! Keep up the great work! :)
Last year I bought two Citadel Fortresses, and was surprised how little they went for on eBay. I strongly recommended buying two as you can make a castle four times the area, big enough for several buildings. If unassembled the towers of the first set should be corners, if a second set is bought I recommend you assemble them with doors on opposite sides so they sit between double length walls.
I’m definitely tempted to add more walls and towers, good tip on the towers.
@@MiniatureRealms Back in the day people bought one set to start but the word to those who knew was buy two. You can do so much more and have enough towers to make corner and side towers enough for many shapes of fortress.
The most useful is similar to what you have, and L shape wall sectioning off a portion of the 6'x4' for a siege assault battle. But you cant make that and have the basic square castle with the same towers.
Also look for the following
Tabletop Workshop Castle
ua-cam.com/video/UFEuVGPXFIw/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/vSyL4jH8pqU/v-deo.html
- You will need to extend the tower doors, keep them narrow for defence purposes but make them a tad taller. You will have plenty of spare doors to do this, chop two to make one.
Zvezda Medieval Castle/Stone Fortress
ua-cam.com/video/cdaQrSETBV8/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/_JEs3QAAVFY/v-deo.html
- Shop around, try to get the advanced castle if you can, it has extensions which are useful. It is listed as 1/72 scale, it isn't, only the doors are that scale. It is 28mm but needs new doors.
Zvezda also do wooden castles, a Russian d and a roman one, both also work for 28mm.
If you buy multiple sets you can easily make it modular for RPG's and you should ignore Wargames illustrated advice to glue it.
All these sets are available with a careful search, The Zvezda sets are more easily bought if you can plug into French or German ebay, I paid far less going there. Tabletop workshop sets are best available from the UK. I could say where but I don't know if I can post trade links.
I’d call the inn “the flopping fish”
Very good, I’ll add it to the poll 🙂
Love this work, it looks fantastic.
Thank you 😊
Epic and a credit to you my friend
Thank you 😊
top notch job, thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙂
Board looks amazing! Great video! We asked Warhammer World if we could bring our own terrain for Mordheim and they said no! 😢
Thank you.
Oh dear, that doesn’t sound good, was that recently?
@@MiniatureRealmslast year! They said only Official GW terrain
That’s fair enough I guess. They had no issues with this when I took them t thankfully, but I guess it’s made from GW kits.
The Fiddler’s Riddle Inn 🛌⚔️
Like it, I’ll add it to the list 🙂
Cool. Be great for D&D as well ...
That hadn’t occurred to me actually, great idea.
Turned out amazing mate!
Thanks mate 😊
Inn name. The Sleepy Prince
Thank you, I’ll add it to the poll.
Being at university and pretending not to be a nerd sound like a losing move XD
Yeah I’d do it differently now, but attitudes toward geek hobbies were a little different back in the late 90s.
@@MiniatureRealms Oh I see. Good that things got better. Got into Pathfinder through Uni :D
Looking good! Also, hooray! Tower toppers!
For the Inn name, how about:
The Bored Prince
The Lady's Room (because for the Lady!)
The Breton's Knee
The Sword & Board
The Prancing Lancer
The Flower & Dealy (fleur-de-lis)
The Drunkard Rampant
The Horse's Trough
The Steed in Need
Bed-for-a-Knight (known locally as 'the Bed')
The Damsel & Dress (which dress? Dis dress)
The Resting Knight (questing knight)
The Ale Knight
(Grail knight)
Ye olde Ale Grail
The Pint & Peasant
The Castle Walls (common local call to arms amongst off duty troops being 'man the walls!')
I'm sure there's probably more but that'll do to start!
Some of those are amazing, thank you. I’ll likely pick my favourite from that list and add it to a poll to choose the winner.
Would love to see a game on this
Thank you
Tavern name: Mini Realm Inn
Like it thank you, I’ll add it to the list 🙂
The Warp Stone Inn.
Like it, I’ll add it to the poll 🙂
All walled coastal towns need "somewhere you can go to buy your fish and watch a hanging at the same time." 🤣 Perfect complement to your town! Great work. I'm doing much the same using 3-D printed buildings behind Zvezda fortress ramparts and gates. You get a similar look at a greatly reduced price. I guess it's a shame I won't be able to compete in any official GW contests using competing components and minis... or not.
Thank you 🙂
I’m thinking of expanding the town on another table, for that I’ll use 3d printed stuff, there’s so much good stuff about.
Lovely work! Your shading with the airbrush is something I'll have to try on my upcoming terrainprojects. You might want to add some scatter terrain for breaking up line of sight and adding some cover, a slight issue I ran into when I finished my city board. A wall breach could also help open up the sides of the town for more playability. You could name the inn: 'The Realm of Stew' haha ^^ Nice work mate!
Thank you.
I agree on the scatter terrain, definitely something that’s needed, and a breached wall would be great for the reasons you’ve said, and siege games. Love the name, will add it to the poll.
The happy Puffin
Very good, I’ll add it to list for the poll 🙂
The Drunken Mule Inn
Like that, will add it to the poll 🙂
Ha! we might have bid on the same Chapel. If I lost it and it ended up here I can't be too upset.
Sorry 😬😅
@MiniatureRealms cheers, It went to a good home. Here's to hoping we both find that Fortified Manor one day.
@MikePawlak Hopefully they will bring it back and drive those crazy prices down. If only I hadn’t sold mine 🙄
Looks like a great project, and a lot of fun to build! Turned out amazingly well. Do they let you bring in scratch-built terrain to Warhammer World?
Thank you. I pretty they do, they certainly used to, it would be very odd to say no.
That looks proper cool. Has turned out really nice.
Regarding the return of the old world, it is going proper old school. Only vaguely remember the last time Brett’s had a BSB on foot!
Thanks mate.
The reveals today were very good, can wait until next year.
