I thought that I would see out the year with some new shots of one of the last caverns that I recently made. I have dressed it up a bit with some furniture and some models.
My children came to visit over the holiday and we discussed D&D, as my son still plays quite regularly, we talked about the virtual world of D&D where the whole experience is in the players mind compared with the Board Game that Quest is.
Where D&D doesn't need the board, furniture or even actual models, he uses Dowe Egberts coffee jar lids with the character name slipped inside, I think that Quest flourishes because of the extra visuals that help bring it to life. The careful, exciting, verbal description of a setting or monster will always win over physical models for me, but I love the whole activity of problem solving and creating those models for their own sake and for play in Warhammer Quest.
So while I may go back to playing more D&D in the future, I have rolled up some characters, I have loads of inspiration and plans for what is to come for our Warhammer Quest games next year. Should be good fun.

More Old Pictures
Old Pictures
I am in the process of replacing loads of pictures over on Warseer that seem to have recently disappeared, so I am going to plonk them all here in one big post so that I can dip into them and add them when I need to.
This post will change as there are some 30/40 pictures missing and I don't like the idea of blanks being displayed rather than photo's that I have already taken the trouble to take.

The Windy Wharfe: Roof and Surrounds
I am still working away on the Windy Wharfe although it is making my head hurt a little. I have remodeled the roof and begun to think about where to place doors and how to build and position the windows. I am thinking that round windows may be the way to go, but those are very fiddly.
I have been making tiles for the outside of the Inn as well, but these are being made from cereal packet, doubled over to give more thickness!! Its all I have. So the floor tiles on the exterior need to go on first then I can seal the model with PVAconcrete and then we have the painting to consider!

I still have an awful lot to do on this project. I think the next time that I post about it will be when it is nearly finished. I have to clad the roof interior, put the stone work or wood on gable ends, put a chimney on, make the windows and then paint the whole thing.
The main thing is I feel much more happy about the general design and look of the Wharfe. And as a result am far more likely to continue working on it.

A Very Old Adventure
I have had too add these pictures to the blog as they have disappeared from my Warseer Blog and I need to repost them. I don't think they have appeared here before they are from a very early game. All these characters actually died during the summer 2014.
Also very poor pictures from my old phone, sorry.
