Campaign Map Part 6

Next batch - mostly woods. 

And so far:

These group shots are very useful as it gives me a better idea of how it’s coming together. Case in point, I changed two tiles, adding two new river pieces, one as marshland and a fork going in the opposite direction. Much more practical than a hill tile and another walled farm tile. But I’ve got such an itch to do more. I’ve loved this project.

Just a couple of villages to do now. Need to attack the edges with some sandpaper though, some are very snug - looks like there are little knobs from the 3D supports that will need seeing to…

 Next batch, marsh, moors and a couple of bits to make up numbers in the batch. Points of interest - my own little Isle of Ely, standing stones, ruins and an isolated moor hall/farm. Last pic is everything so far…

Campaign Map Part 4

 River tiles done. A bit of shine still, and some touch ups needed, but I love how a good matt varnish makes it. The eagle eyed will notice the town has grown a dock area, which should double for river or coast (when that inevitably happens).

Goblins

Oathmark Goblins - a mashup of the Goblin Infantry and the Goblin Slaves sprues. Took an age with the green stuff, but the fur especially came out nicely, but was very laborious, so cloth mantles for the majority.

Five Leagues needs 14 melee, 3 missile and 3 different leader types. I’ve more than enough, in fact enough to run 3x 6 figured infantry units for Dragon Rampant. Job done.

As well as the three leader types (no shields), I had a body left over so went for a shaman type, using bit from the GW skull sprue. Some feathers from the Chaos Death Parrot, but otherwise a few different shades of black.

These two are my favourites… love how they came out.

Campaign Map Part 3

 Well, that’s all 50 pretty much done.

16 river tiles, including a manor, 2 villages, 2 woodland and 3 river bends.

34 lowland tiles, including a town, a manor, a henge, a ruin, 2 farms, 2 villages, 5 marshes (including a monastery), 4 isolated barns/cottages, and sundry woods, hills, moors and fields.

If I had the cash, I’d get more tiles as I’ve really enjoyed making these. Mountains and coasts may yet happen.

Campaign Map Part 2

Progress so far:

A henge tile and some moor/hilly terrain tiles:

A manor house and a village on river tiles:

Ruins:

Farmland, including a village and a courtyard farm:

And forest/woodland tiles, including a village and some occasional fields:

I’ve some river tiles still being worked on, including marshland.

I’m currently at about 37 tiles done, with 13 to go. I need more river and another marsh (currently at 12 including 2 marshes). The plastic ME set had 48 tiles, 24 of which were river, but they don’t appear to have distinguished between wood and farm land. At the moment, not planning on doing mountains or coastal.

EDIT: Forgot to add… I added some steel washers I found in a drawer looking for some bits, as I realised I’d need a way to track the party on the map. I’ve made some banner markers with bits and added a small magnet at the base, just strong enough to keep them upright.
