Today, I'm
going to present you my works on the unique building of this scenario. The
monastery of La Maisontaal. This picture comes from the rule book of WHFB 3rd
ed.and it’s the only picture of this monastery.
The most
economic and the fastest alternative to realize this monastery, it is to use the
card building of the Citadel Newspaper Spring 86. They are easily downloadable
on Web, advise, print the set of card board a second time in mode mirror, it’s
useful to dress walls inside the
building. I realized this building a few years ago and I find that the result
is honorable.
If you wish
something more detailed and if you have enough time, several other alternatives
offers to you. You can realize the building yourself as the pic from 3rd ed
rules book). Another option, you can buy a building in resin which looks like
in the monastery of La Maisontaal.
I chose
this last option which is the most expensive. I had to sell numerous chaps from
my lead pile to finance this purchase at Grand Manner. One It was necessary to
me to give an aspect in ruin to this building to integrate it into the
scenario, I also added a small dependence in ruin to in increase the general
aspect of destruction.
I realized
the columns of smoke by dressing a wire with clump. Once the volume was created,
it is necessary to wash the set with a mixture of water and PVA glue. The clump
is spongy and is going to absorb the mixture of glue. After 24 hours of drying,
the set becomes very solid. You can Airbrush it and/or Drybrush it.
To help
Bagrian and his monks to defend the monastery, I painted some survivors of the
village of Frugelhofen (ex Citadel from Foundry Miniatures range) accompanied
by two characters of the scenario of Terror of the Lichemaster. The brave Gim
Grundel and the Beautiful Riolta Snow, a modified Skarlok archer. For those who don’t know the RpG
scenario, this group arrives at the monastery by the river Vaswasser on boats
of fortunes. They are the last survivors of Frugelhofen after the attack of the
Lichemaster.
Next step... More troupe for the Lichemaster.

RépondreSupprimerGreat stuff Nico. How did you do the "Frugelhofen" lettering on the signpost held by the militia?
RépondreSupprimerHi Steeve :) Print on white sheet paper. I used Microsoft Excel ... font size 5 or 6.
SupprimerBye Nico
This monastery was a pleasure to play with, and the columns of smoke were great looking (although i'm not a huge fan of this kind of stuff usually). Damned elf indeed.
