The City of Altheim (Blacksmiths P4)

I really like the little grotesque on the corner of the rooftop.

The blacksmith shop is amazing.

Not a huge amount to report on recently, but I have made some progress on actually painting the main board:

Once I've got this finished I'll move on to the dock area, then I can lay down the resin water in the river/sewer and the dock itself.

The river is a real nice detail, gives some good character. Will the city have any nice dark dingy alleyways?

All the buildings will be modular and moveable, so the gaps between them that aren't facing the roads will effectively be alleyways.

That’s a fair sized piece of real estate. What is it, 8’ x 4’? Also, how wide’s your waterway?

Great project and execution, BTW.

Thanks! With the river front dock water it'll be just under 8'x4'. The roads are 4" wide and the drainage channel is nominally 2". I wanted it to act as a trench to allow some extra movement in Mordheim games to limit choke points on a heavy terrain board.

How many buildings is it up to now? 8?

Good idea and narrow enough to jump across. Ideal for those comedy moments when players unexpectedly fail initiative tests.

As german native speaker the empire fantasy names sound ever so funny.
My favorite so far ( from WHFRP ) is Manfred "Kugelschreiber" (Ballpen) .

That's my intention, I speak (almost) passable German, most of my names are purposefully awful transliterations into pidgin-German to emulate the comedy names from the original WFB/WFRP.

 

[Firstruleoffightclub]

You got it right

It seems there's a relationship with the AHQ character "Rutger von Bleistift" (Rutger of pencil). ^^

I like the Warhammer Armies section "The Empire", as the pseudo-German goes wild.
