More Pictures of the Merchant House

The last pictures, this time around, of the massive Merchant House from Tabletop-World.

The attic is filled with goods and delicious treats!

The attic was very fun to do, and all the warepiles really add to the atmosphere of the house! My favourite part of painting the warepiles, was painting the fruit and lettuce in particular! It took ages though, but hopefully we will have use of these for other things in our RPG sessions.
The warepiles are from Tabletop World, Tabletop-Art, Fenryll and Ristul’s creations – now sold and cast by Annie from Bad Squiddo!

The office of the rich merchant.

This is the office of the rich merchant! I used some of my favourite furniture I painted recently, including the cozy chair from the Mantic Terrain Crate – Wizard Study, the desk and large cupboard from Zealot Miniatures, chest from HQ-resin, and two small cupboards from Tabletop-World. The one with the shield is an old one and came exclusively from their old discontinued Blacksmith. The candelabra is from Thomarillion, and I really like this one, because it can stand reasonably well on its own!

I have so many exciting things to show, and hopefully I will have more time soon to show off more of my recent projects! Including my Dungeons and Dragons miniature (I am making a monster menagerie!!)

I have a ton of pictures on my Instagram profile! So check it out and follow my page for more goodies! :)

More Pictures of the Merchant House

I thought it would be fun to create a children’s room in the Merchant House, so I found a bunch of bits I have had lying around since beginning of time (or the hobby, hehe) This is the 3rd floor of the house

I used a few helmets from the old Bretonnia Knights including a dragon’s head and a unicorn, which I HAD to paint as a rainbow unicorn!

The merchant’s daughter walking around in her own room at her father’s shop.

The companies used were Malifaux (old metal orphanage basing kit, which is AWESOME!) Retro Kids room accessories from HQresin, Fenryll, Tabletop-world, Games Workshop, Zealot Miniatures and Thomarillion.

I painted all the toys a little bit creepy aswell, since I need them for Blinsky’s Toy shop from our Curse of Strahd campaign (Dungeons and dragons) I also painted Blinsky with his pet monkey Piccolo :)

The room next to the daughter’s room is a storage room with another balcony to watch over the city!

Next up is pictures of the attic and the office on the 2nd floor!

Tabletop World: Merchant’s House

Update: Pledge Manager is LIVE and if you missed the Dunkeldorf Kickstarter, Late Pledges/Pre-orders are up now until mid June!

After a long time working on the Dunkeldorf Kickstarter, which was a huge success and far better than we anticipated, I have had some time to work on my big Merchant House which I used to enter Tabletop World’s annual painting competition.

I entered last year with the “Alluring Sisters (Witchcraft Coven)” which, to my big surprise, won first place in the single building category!

And I’m very proud to announce that once again, my entry into the competition, The Merchant Family, won 1st place again!
I was stunned when I received the news and very, very happy, as this project is the biggest I have done so far!

Top view of the large building! All the window shutters and doors are fully functional!

This by far the biggest building I have ever worked on!
All the exterior and all the interior of the 4 floor buildings!
And I was lucky to receive a helping hand from my husband, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to make it in time!
Everything, except the Dunkeldorf Miniatures and some of the office furniture was painted specifically for this project!
I felt that the warepiles I had in my collection didn’t match the standard I wanted for this house, so I ended up painting a lot of warepiles. I actually ended up painting more than was needed for this project. Let’s just say I won’t be making anymore warepiles for quite a while!!

I have another bunch of pictures from the Merchant House, I will be showing off in another update, so stay tuned! :-D

Standing Stones Diorama!

A little while ago my husband and I started making small terrain pieces to add a little flair to a forest scene, and this is one of the results.

Standing Stones

The base is made of thick plasticard with milliput on top, layered with a bit of modelling sand and some mud effects! The Rune Standing Stones are from Tabletop-Art.

Afterwards we added some tufts from MiniNatur and some model trees. The one to the left is from 4Ground. It’s a simple terrain piece but it looks really good on a game board, especially if you add miniatures! :)

A few close-ups:

Chaos Shrine & Altar

I recently made a pretty cool conversion piece to use as a Chaos Shrine in Warhammer. It started out with two columns from Fenryll, the gargoyles and skull wall from Games Workshop, the top piece from a chaos chariot (I think), some styrofoam for the bottom, a chaos symbol in the bottom and a bunch of candles on top.

I quickly painted it afterwards and decided that the piece also needed an altar – So I used a Fenryll altar and added candles from Tabletop-Art, a book from Ristul’s and some more chaos symbols.
