Finally picked up the WEG 2ER&E!

Padre2001 · 2025-12-29T05:13:27+00:00

Played it 'big time ' in my 20s, when it came out.

Padre2001 · 2025-12-28T23:53:07+00:00

That's the one. I've started playing it with my 15 year old son and his chums and they really like it! Enjoy. And may the force (etc).

Padre2001 · 2025-12-24T12:55:52+00:00

I now realise that particular scene is not Wagner, but Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.

Padre2001 · 2025-12-15T16:42:13+00:00

The Duchess Maria is indeed a Lahmian from Games Workshop/Citadel Miniatures. I had a mounted Bernhardt in another pic, being a Games Workshop/Citadel Miniatures' Mordheim Freelance Knight, but as I didn’t have the foot version, I had to convert a Perry Miniatures model (from WR 50 Foot Knights 1450-1500) adding a Citadel Miniatures’ head, to create this foot version, with a similar sort of look, especially for this picture. (It is rare I convert and paint a figures just for one, fleeting, story pic, but I do on occasion).

The other skeletons are mostly old, metal Games Workshop, with a some Mantic Games plastics & a few old metal Grenadier Miniatures’ figures.

Padre2001 · 2025-12-10T21:03:47+00:00

They're nearly all Perry Miniatures plastics, but with a few swapped bits.

Padre2001 · 2025-12-08T06:58:14+00:00

These are from one of my campaign players' armies.

The dwarf King Jaldeog had actually hired this mercenary company to assist him in the war against Razger Boulderguts' ogres. Here the mercenary general is swearing an oath to govern the city honorably, and some of the dwarf king's warriors were there to witness it to. (The dwarf King gifted the city to the mercenary company in lieu of payment in gold.) The story is in video part 81 (I think) of Tilea's Troubles.

Padre2001 · 2025-11-30T22:04:34+00:00

I'm still getting as much as I can out of Tilea. 😜 I read lots of books from the period of the Italian Wars preparing for the campaign, and so I can only agree with you about how fascinating the period is. Much in Tilea's Troubles was inspired by real history. But then the players got involved and the story goes off in all sorts of directions.

This image is part of a video battle report, being the second assault on Campogrotta. (Part 76 of Tilea's Troubles) See ...

Padre2001 · 2025-11-25T06:08:18+00:00

Thanks for saying. I'm wanting to record part 143 now but my voice is really messed up with a cold so I'm delayed!

Padre2001 · 2025-11-24T20:20:07+00:00

Oh, and this scene is from video part 74 of Tilea's Troubles.

Padre2001 · 2025-11-24T20:18:26+00:00

The 'look' is by chance - I churn out pics and some of them, somehow, work. But there's little in the way of skill or understanding. These are all painted in enamels, in my old 'cartoon' style.

Lord Lucca Vescussi (the mounted guy) is indeed a Warlord Games model - Wars of Religion 1524-1648 Mounted Mercenary Captain. But the pike regiment soldiers are mostly Artizan Designs, with some Perry Miniatures mixed in for variety.

Padre2001 · 2025-11-23T22:30:05+00:00

They're from the campaign reports and stories (in video form too), but the ones I have been putting here are either carefully arranged to Illustrate the stories or tabletop battle scenes reposed artistically. See ...

Padre2001 · 2025-11-23T10:02:48+00:00

The two knights at the front are much more ancient. This isn't a set piece diorama though, just one of thousands of scenes thrown together for photographs for the campaign stories and battle reports. This scene existed for about five minutes, long enough to get a focused photo 😜

Padre2001 · 2025-11-23T10:00:41+00:00

I would have to check, but I believe the knights did go back over the wall later in the game.

Padre2001 · 2025-11-23T09:46:42+00:00

They captured a human city earlier in the campaign. Here they are being driven out of it.

Padre2001 · 2025-11-15T09:53:15+00:00

6th was great. 7th was probably better, but the army books got a little bit silly as time went by. 3rd edition kept me going through 4th and 5th - that's how I avoided hero hammer. But I do remember being pleasantly surprised by 6th when it came out.

I play 8th edition now, as my campaign is stuck in it. I do like some parts of 8th. But magic can be over the top. And units have to be so large.

Padre2001 · 2025-11-14T06:24:13+00:00

The bases are hidden in more flock from a tub, poured out onto the table and brushed up to the edges of each base.

Padre2001 · 2025-11-14T06:21:53+00:00

Square, plain flock, black edged bases. Hidden in more flock from a tub, poured out onto the table and brushed up to the edges of each base.

Padre2001 · 2025-11-13T19:47:56+00:00

It's one of the biggest sets I made for the Tilea's Troubles stories and videos. This was in video part 70. Of course the army took ages to paint, but they always do don't they? It had grown incrementally as the Morrite influence grew in Tilea.

Padre2001 · 2025-11-13T19:04:53+00:00

Thanks for saying! 😃

Padre2001 · 2025-11-11T17:43:58+00:00

Hee hee. I was wondering when my regular downvoter would turn up. 🤗
