A community for all kinds of fantasy miniature wargaming. All sorts of fantasy wargames are welcome here, especially smaller or miniature agnostic ones, since games like Warhammer Fantasy, KoW etc. already have their own communities (Of course those are also allowed and welcomed here).

Examples are games like Dragon Rampant, Warlords of Erehwon, Frostgrave and others.

Preferred content includes painted minis, kitbashed minis, terrain, AARs, homebrew rules or even questions related to fantasy wargaming.

A WIP of my new flagbearer. The eagle needs some work but otherwise i am pretty happy with it.

Some heavily armored men at arms/knights for my human WoE army.

I am thinking about expanding my RPG fantasy setting into running wargames in it as well. What I am looking for is a game in which several players play the commanders of different units in the same army, each commanding hundreds or a few thousand soldiers.

I want to start with a fairly mundane baseline of medieval combat and then perhaps later gradually add small numbers of special units with unique magic abilities to it. But it should work without any magic elements as well.

I've started looking at DBA as a rules system, as it is looking relatively compact and simple to play. Would that be a decent pick for someone completely new and running a campaign for others, or are there other games that might be better recommendations for that purpose?

A 3D printed Vampire (Its a Skeleton originally, but i use him as a Vampire, lol) that will become a champion of my undead force. I orignally wanted to give him steel coloured armour, but i thought a vain bloodsucker could use a more colourful variant.

The armor itself was painted with a mix of violet and silver and some of the details, like the rose petal shaped fibula were done with a bit of red, white, bright skin colour and the aforementioned metallic violet.

Exactly what it say in the title. These are Warlord Landsknechte, mixed with a few Perry helmets to make them a bit diverse.

I am unhappy about the priming which messed up, but i think i can live with it.

I'm going to be putting him to use as an attack Squig in 40k, but originally he was designed to get his bum poked by some Night Goblins.

I made some archer stakes out of a 5mm pine staff and carved them with an exacto knife. They are looking quite good and they are cheap too, so i will probably make some more.

I did some banners, headbands and sashes to add some colour and life to my human force.

My finished stone troll for Warlords of Erehwon and Dragon Rampant.

A WIP of my "Reichsritter".

12
 
 

Heavily armoured Reichsritter made by Perry for my Custom WoE/DR army lists. The army itself is based on the late medieval/early modern HRE and contains a German folklore and mythological touch.

The Perry Men at Arms set is really great to work with, allows extreme customization (And gives a lot of bits to work with the other sets) and i can only recommend it.

My nearly finished Reaper Bones Cave Troll. I will use him as a neutral monster or ally for Warlords of Erehwon or Dragon Rampant.

Storming the Walls (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Marder to c/fantasywargaming
 
 

I started to make modular pieces for a city/castle wall from styrofoam bricks. So far im really happy about the looks and they are extremely cheap too (ca. 3 Euro material costs for a wall segment)

Size difference (lemmy.world)

A comparison of my new human infantry and my Giant Skeleton.

Archers and Soldiers armed with pole-arms i painted recently. They will form the core of my late-medieval/renaissance HRE inspired human army.

Green Knight WIP (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Marder to c/fantasywargaming
 
 

3d printed Green Knight mini for an arthurian themed Warlords of Erehwon warband. Sill needs some more details and highlights, but overall i am very happy with the paintjob.

Undead Cavalry (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Marder to c/fantasywargaming
 
 

Finished the bases of my undead cavalry. The painting needs a bit of improvement, but i like them so far.

19
 
 

I finally finished my bat base with a lot of 3d printed boney bits. I think it is looking pretty great and i can finally seal it.

20
 
 

Exactly what the title says. I bought some new basing bits on Etsy and added them to the base of the skelly giant.

Tomb Terrain (lemmy.world)

Tomb terrain piece made by Reaper. Was a fun build, especially the painting of the patina for the bronze parts. I added a bit of ivy, which i have not entirely finished since i photographed it though.
