Hi all fellow witchfinders and godless others.
I have been making up some graveyard scenery with the help of lots of donations from members at my local gaming club and whilst searching about came across this...
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440008a&prodId=prod1290008a
I like the look of it but may be a bit to heavy on the skull motifs for those who like historical correctness...but I'm not too bothered after all its a game with werewolves and witches 
Also would like to make a plauge pit for my table....any idea guys where I could by tangled body parts etc to put in this? |

The benfit of both this and the house is they are easy to cut and adapt. Agred a lot of skulls but would be simple to card over some them. |

Got to agree they are a little heavy on the skull motif....but I don't mind that too much and often there is an option to add skull bits or not. In the arcane ruin set some of the skull are optional, or you can use the other option provided if you like...........skulls with horns. Oh I see what you mean. lol |

I find that most of the GW stuff is "moarskullz!" and lately seems to be "BIGmoarskullz!"; otherwise, it would look great. |

Hello Morsleib. We will be fielding most of the different types of common folk and vile abominations in the participation games at Hammerhead. We intend to offer a good introduction to the core rules so I hope the weather is OK and you can make it to join us for a game. |

Hi you all.
Yes all being well and good I'm going to Hammerhead....I'm looking forward to it  , so is my missus, this is one of the few miniture based games she enjoys, but have to let her win sometimes to avoid domestic friction..lol
Most certainly will come and see you chaps, be good to see you playing the game in person(s).
As regards tufts, I have used the army painter tufts. But I have to be careful no to go 'tuft crazy'. The tufts looked nice on my grave stones stuck tight along the point where the stone meets the ground, also on the lengths of wall- I have stuck where the stone work meets an upright wooden post.

Carsten, I have some of those gravestone sprues and they are very nice. I have used a few to put on some bases of larger models but I will be making some small area terrain with grave stones on.
I have got some ideas on how I will be making some floweres live/dead to go on some of the graves, using coloured sponge with clump folage.

Why not just look at the various "tufts" that are available? Army Painter do some meadow flowers and Antenocittis Workshop do lots of different ones. Ok, they cost around £3 a pack, but they are nice and colourful. They are mounted on some sticky plastic sheet and you just pull them off with tweezers or pliers. Just a little dab of superglue or pva on the base and place them on it. If you pop over to the Warlord site, there are lots of photos scattered about with them. The users even call themselves "The Tufty Club" because of them |

Hello everyone. I really like the blogs - very impressive terrain and figures. There are some great Witchfinder figures on Pijlie's Wargames Blog too http://pijlieblog.blogspot.com/
I found this link on TMP to Wargames Illustrated's website earlier today with some more very nice terrain http://www.wargamesillustrated.net/Default.aspx?tabid=221&art_id=2829
Are you still going to Hammerhead Sarge? We are going to put a simplified version of the Hangman Encounter on at the show. It would be great if you can join us for a while and see if the godly gamers of Newark can dispatch a few vile abominations  . |

Thanks chaps. Have never tried cardboard/printed buildings, nice idea.
I have posted the current grave yard picture on my blog if anyone is interested. I have made the graves modular so I'm not stuck with a set sized bit of terrain. Keep an eye out as I have nearly finished my chapel building and will post it up soon.
Next idea is to get hold of the bits to make my plauge pit
Cheers

Hello everyone,
My first post  : Warlord Games has a sprue of gravestones (and a Raven), if you are making a larger graveyard area.
http://store.warlordgames.com/gravestone-set-6240-p.asp
For crypt(s), you could go papermodelling (a bit heretical, but timesaving and cheap):

I've bought the crypt, but haven't assembled it yet. It looks good, though.

I tend to construct then paint but if there are a lot of areas that are visible but would be hard to get to then a sometimes build in modules, paint then final assembly.
With plastic terrain like this I use a similar process and finish with varnish and Matt/Dull coat for the added protection from being knocked around.
That manor house set is very nice and I am also tempted to get the small chappel to go with the grave yard. At the mo I also have the ruined rounnd wizards tower that is part painted and needs finishing and I have the old citadel plastic castle that needs painting.
Ref the blog, I am realy enjoying mine which I started a few months ago when I realised that I was posting stuff up on lots of dif forums and wanted to have something that I could collect all my stuff together. I would recomend giving it a go.

Thanks for the post, nice to take a look prior to any purchase...my local GW store showed me a made up one which looked really good.
I've just put together the fortified manor house set and tend to paint after construction as opposed to painting on sprues...is that how you tackle a larger model kit like this? or do you paint on sprues then build?
I under coat, paint, dry brush and then varnish with army painter dip...it gives a good hard finish which I then matt varnish when dry. Only done the fences and walls so far but happy with results. May be I ought sort out a blog too, be nice to refer to etc. |
