Unlike Burning Sands which was about the heros and what they did, I am minded to make WFB about the place and how that place changes over time.
Or maybe a bit of both.
My initial thoughts are of Emperor Karl Franz I being oathbound to offer some land to a minor noble for some unknown service, however unwilling to grant anything of substantial value the Emperor grants a piece of gods forsaken land in the eastern reaches of Stirland, specifically in Sylvania.
Undeterred the noble to whom this land is granted rallies some troops from the neighbouring provinces of Ostermark and Talabecland and heads off into Stirland to claim his land.
The first few games will be of getting there and exploring the locality and then setting up residence, this will likely be in the ‘best’ of the villages in the area granted to him which will no doubt fall far short from anything regarded as Empirical.Essentially it will be ran as a sort of mini campaign, some skirmishes, finding villages, choosing the best, clearing the surrounding areas of chaos and building up fortifications.
Hopefully we will see the area grow and prosper and the forces of Albrecht Von Halven turn the gods forsaken area into a thriving town as he burns away the forces of chaos and evil.Though as I write it I am not sure now!
😛

14/12/2020 at 21:32 #148285MensnParticipantGreat looking army, fantastic paint job. This is a cool project, keep us updated, please.
14/12/2020 at 22:01 #148288Mr. AverageParticipantMike, if you can dig out an old back issue of Dragon Magazine, look up an article called “Fighting for Keeps.” It matches your plan almost identically but was written for Battlesystem. Could be adapted very easily. Something tells me I might be giving you information you already have, that’s how close to the mark you are.
14/12/2020 at 22:14 #148289Mr. AverageParticipantIt’s issue 127 by the way. WAY back there. But as I recall it was just around the same time as 3rd Ed. WFB.

FB can be so demoralising sometimes.
Anyway, back to working on my watchtower that will be a regular site of battle!
15/12/2020 at 16:02 #148319Mr. AverageParticipantDefinitely look up Dragon Issue 127, “Fighting for Keeps.” You might think that copies of hard to find vintage back issues of ephemera like Dragon Magazine circulate in PDF format, you might very well think that, but of course I couldn’t possibly comment.
The thing I like most about 3rd Edition is how mysterious it all still was. It was before the Super Kill Guy syndrome and it was really more of an appendix to the WFRP system, much like Battlesystem was to AD&D. And the freedom to cook up your own forces from bottom to top including arms and armor felt so liberating compared to the “Pay To Win” model that was to follow.
15/12/2020 at 17:13 #148323MikeKeymaster15/12/2020 at 17:21 #148324Mr. AverageParticipanto All I mean is if you look up the article it leads to about a bazillion PDF copies is how I found the issue number. I happen to have the actual issue from when if first came out back in the 80s come to find out – that glossy magazine print holds up remarkably well and it’s one of the few bits of documentary evidence from before Hurricane Katrina. It may be available in library magazine files, many of which have been digitized in recent years. The state of Ohio for example has an extensive digital magazine archive. I should imagine something similar is to be found in the UK.
15/12/2020 at 17:33 #148325Mr. AverageParticipantLikewise ease your conscience thus, for about $7 US.
15/12/2020 at 18:38 #148326MikeKeymaster15/12/2020 at 18:53 #148327Mr. AverageParticipantIt’s $6.25 plus $4 shipping. I guess sterling isn’t holding its value like it used to! Damned intercontinental trade. Where’s Adam Smith when you need him?!
15/12/2020 at 18:55 #148328MikeKeymaster15/12/2020 at 18:58 #148329Mr. AverageParticipantGood god man. Would you consider my mailing you a photocopy “Piracy?” Because those postal rates sure amount to as much!
15/12/2020 at 19:00 #148330MikeKeymaster16/12/2020 at 11:34 #148350Angel BarracksModerator16/12/2020 at 13:28 #148356Mr. AverageParticipantThats where the system started going slightly off the rails for me. I have that one as well but I found it fairly complex and a challenge to figure out. Not sure the alternative though so good luck! I might be giving it short shrift.
16/12/2020 at 13:33 #148359Angel BarracksModerator18/12/2020 at 10:42 #148480Angel BarracksModerator18/12/2020 at 12:15 #148484Steve JohnsonParticipantThat’s looking good already Michael:)
21/12/2020 at 18:04 #148621Angel BarracksModerator21/12/2020 at 19:00 #148622Darkest Star GamesParticipantReally does look quite good. What’s the chain for?
"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I'm pretty sure I can do it..."
21/12/2020 at 19:02 #148623MikeKeymaster21/12/2020 at 19:18 #148624Mr. AverageParticipantReminds me of the time I was stopped for carrying a pocket knife.
”What’s this for, sir?”
”I don’t know, cutting stuff?”
The officer was not amused but as I’d broken no law he let me pass.
23/12/2020 at 10:09 #148678Angel BarracksModerator23/12/2020 at 13:33 #148687Angel BarracksModerator23/12/2020 at 14:21 #148689Darkest Star GamesParticipantVery nice sir. The finished product looks quite good. I really think the ground you did makes it a much better piece than it would have been without any sort of base.
"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I'm pretty sure I can do it..."
23/12/2020 at 15:00 #148692Geof DowntonParticipantFantastic! Just decrepit enough to be real, and so much more believable than the isolated keeps that are far too common.
One who puts on his armour should not boast like one who takes it off.

Just a question: is Pendraken 13mm base to eye or base to top of head?
We get slapped around, but we have a good time!

I think it was a 28mm scaled figure that someone remixed for 10mm.It is great as I could not find a Warhammer looking 10mm army leader anywhere.
Then I found this, DL and printed and painted and bam, within a few hours from nothing to a painted model ready to go.It was not a bad sculpt/print either, hair details, forehead ridges etc.
Very Pleased.05/01/2021 at 19:23 #149110Angel BarracksModerator12/01/2021 at 09:57 #149354Angel BarracksModerator3d printing has enabled me to get some WFB flavoured models that are not out there in 10/12mm.
However sometimes you just need to go old school.
I want some flagellants for my army and commissioned my regular sculptor who does my 15mm to do me some.Here is a quick photo before I send them off to the casters to be moulded.
