Here is a great video from The British Museum looking at early Anglo-Saxon swords. I had never heard of the little rings attached to the swords before and what they might represent. I also like the idea of the rune added to the sword (it doesn’t take much research to […]
Having got back my first miniature in metal (the little doggy from my previous post – available here) I thought I’d quickly break out my paints and add him to my miniatures display cabinet. So… without further ado…. Mr Snuffles is one of the ‚community dogs‘ in Highstone and its […]
I have been rather silent here for… erm…. ages. This is because I have been a little distracted from painting… by sculpting. I didn’t realise I could actually sculpt. On a whim I tried to sculpt a little doggy… This is how it turned out. After posting it on FB, […]

Here are the first inhabitants of my fantasy town (provisonally named ‚Highstone‘). The beginnings of the city watch. Sgt Darnan (a 90s Citadel halbardier) and his slavering friend, Nibbler (A Citadel ‚Mordheim‘ dog). Stats for Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes. Rolan Harnan – age 35. Comes from a long […]

I have already made some sketches of my town… but today came across this site: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator – a nice way to generate quick medieval fantasy cities. […]
