Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers.

Nearly there!

The final stretch looms - the next update should be the final piece. Here's a little taster to whet the old appetite as I need to spend a couple of evenings building a world for D&D (if anyone's interested in that I can talk about it here - I'm basically turning the Heptarchy into a fantasy world).

Here's the sculpted tree in position on the undercoated vignette base.



As of tonight, all the miniatures are in place, the base is painted. All that remains is some landscaping, grass and other textures and the project is done.

The next one isn't going to be a vignette but rather a unit of sorts. As part of my prep I dug out some of my old Cryx to think about colour schemes:

So, that's me entering radio silence til the weekend - unless anyone wants to know about the world I'm making. 

Ttfn!

    1. It is, isn't it? Probably my favourite part of RPGs.

  3. Heptarchy. Useful to know that. The vignette base looks well, so far.

    1. Thanks; I'm quite happy with it. One of the joys of having a good fund of dark ages knowledge is that you're never short of fantasy worlds at short notice.

  4. Looks like its all coming together on the vignette. I like the colors on the Cryx interested to see what the next project is going to be.

    1. I more or less finished it tonight. Just two more little jobs to do and then get the final photos. Rather pleased with this one.

  5. Looking forward to hearing more about this project - and I confess, I had to look up what a "Heptarchy" is.
