Next batch, marsh, moors and a couple of bits to make up numbers in the batch. Points of interest - my own little Isle of Ely, standing stones, ruins and an isolated moor hall/farm. Last pic is everything so far…

River tiles done. A bit of shine still, and some touch ups needed, but I love how a good matt varnish makes it. The eagle eyed will notice the town has grown a dock area, which should double for river or coast (when that inevitably happens).

If I had the cash I would. They were great fun.

Well, that’s all 50 pretty much done.
Rough breakdown on insta or the blog.

Tile progress and some magnetic banners. Details on the blog or Instagram as usual as the word count here is a mare.

And a woodland village tile, not sure how to do the grass yet, and contemplating extending the wooded sides down the side with my finger. An original Mighty Empires village tile with an extra street from Irregular. They match quite nicely.

I needed a change… so my homemade Mighty Empires lite to act as a Five Leagues campaign map. I’m basing the tiles on what terrain I have so will be river, village/farm, plains and forest initially. Fluff and details on the blog as always.

Being unemployed is getting the back log sorted. Ok, so not very movie accurate, but the one that is available is part of a pack and I’m not buying half a dozen minis for just one, so a trip to Etsy and a more buff looking mountainy goat for Black Phillip…

Another dive into the leadpile, a cockatrice from Bifrost Minis (via Warbases). Lovely little mini.

After Baldrick, I was quite taken with the idea of a load of servants and dogsbodies accompanying any of the fantasy Renaissance adventurers.

An original Citadel Dwarf from 1986, dug up from my childhood collection, dipped for an excessive amount of time (I forgot) and repainted - ironically exactly as he was but hopefully a bit better than 13 year old me.

some bridge additions to the river I’d previously made, which of course would mean failing to match the colour of the water and I’d end up doing them all again, again. More detail on the blog anevilgiraffe.blogspot.com/2025/11/buil...

But didn’t he say Zelenskyy was a dictator because the Ukrainian constitution doesn’t allow elections at at time of war?

A quick WIP of the latest Hammer homage. The greenstuff is well past its best, but quite pleased with them.

Balls - forgot this place doesn’t like landscape pictures… sigh

Butcher, baker and candlestick maker… after last months butcher, I have to complete the rhyme and throw in a classic bit of wordplay as well…

Some new recruits for The Silver Bayonet - a coachman (by the fact he has a blunderbuss)… some leg surgery to reduce the height of the Black Scorpion minis…

Some new recruits for The Silver Bayonet - a replacement sailor as the Perry one has an odd head. Some minor leg surgery to reduce the height.

More market stalls - a mix of scratch made and 3D bits again. Fruit & Veg got an upgrade, butchers and tailors. A random water trough as well…

More pics on Insta or the blog…

Wallpaper again - but a decent result. Well I committed at any rate. This was an Easter project, posting now though.

More on the blog and instagram.

Anyhoo, this is Seriano Pietra Wallpaper, from here:

Finished Market Hall - well pretty much finished. Anything else will just be furniture and not bolted down.

Windows added (badly). And a chest to fill some dead space.

Market stalls - a mix of scratch made, 3D bits and Crooked Dice chests and Oshiro plates & bowls. Fruit & Veg, cheese monger (with the most common cheese of the 17th century - Cheshire), pamphleteer and pottery.

Some scatter - tents from Renedra and various trade goods from Ainsty. There were a lot of single wool/cotton(?) bundles and the L shaped stack, so I stuck five of the singles into the square stack for ease.

For what it’s worth I miss the Fimir. Really dark fluff. As original a race as GW could manage. I guess the bean counters nixed that when they realised the money was with kids.
