In my head I’m going to get everything painted then I can justify buying Blackstone Fortress.

Good job, Dimrill. As you have declared it 'done' you are now free to order more.

Hello! long time no post. Long time nerd observers may recall said I was going have a go at making a drystone wall from scratch. Well, that then escalated a bit:

Top work, Kissyfur!

What did you use for building up the terrain?

Author:  MrChris [ Thu May 21, 2020 10:21 ]
Post subject:  Re: Tabletop wargaming - nerdlinging to the max...

Thanks chaps!

The tree on the hill was made from scratch – wire armature, greenstuff, wire wool, flock etc.

The two similar coloured ones were “stock” trees that I put a bit of wire wool and flock on because they were utterly shit things that came in a bag of 50 from China. The firs are what they are – they are ridiculously uniform but not really sure what I can do with them. If they’re good enough for the model railway sorts…. however I think you normally see them used in large numbers together.

The terrain base is foamex (sort of a cross between extruded polystyrene and plastic - really sturdy but easy to cut), and then the hills and hummocks are extruded polystyrene carved into shapes with some polyfilla to smooth the contours.

Well there's the Hasbro label on it. They acquired MB back in 1984, and MB were the rights holders. However someone's already pointed out the ESRB logo which means game of electric of some sort. Maybe rules?! is whol gaim electric?! 10 days!

Hope it’s the physical game rather than mobile or summat.

I just ordered Blackstone Fortress!

I’m knee deep in painting ghosts!

I’ll show some pics of them at some point.

Oh and I’ve made my own wet palette (why haven’t I done this before?!)

Oh and I’m part way through building a train layout for my dad with scratch built scenery.

I don't begrudge them the crowdfunding, but it's too expensive and not different enough from the OG copy I have already. Also unpainted the minis aren't as good due to the lack of different colours, IMO (same for the furniture). It was always easy to tell the orks and goblins from the Chaos WarriorsTM.

The female heroes are a nice step forward, though.

Note that it's also available in Canada: I'd you want to pay $135US for shipping!

They're also after one meeellion dolllarrr to fund it. Which results in a need for 6,666 backers at the mythic tier.

Apart from the heroes, I really dislike the minis too.

If anyone has a ratty original copy and wants some decent minis for it, Zealot has you covered.

Looks like they'll get it, though. It's already on $880,000.
