Finished the barrow… scruffy clumps of grass for the mound, did try my usual flowers, but in the slope it looked weird, so it’s not quite as good soil as anywhere else, but a bit better than the marsh. Speaking of, the dead grass I used on the marsh is mixed in a bit, especially at the stone tops. Interior skulls from the GW skulls set. Interior bones picked out of the Krautcover Grimdark mix.

So a barrow had to happen… Of course, me being me and not wanting to have a sizeable bit of unplayable terrain, I wanted an interior…

Kitbashing the 1986 GW Skeleton Horde with the modern Oathmark skeleton infantry. I just know the format here is going to kill those pictures and I sure as hell won’t have the word count, so please check the blog if you’re interested…

Well, after a meh month finished with some crappy hot weather, finally finished the last tiles for the map. These are mainly coastal tiles with beaches or villages. I did another curve just to allow for more twisty rivers and I had a final tile… after some thought, canvassing on LAF and some very good suggestions I decided to go with a lost world plateau just for fun.

No group shot, there’s too many of them now… 😂

Next batch… the four remaining wave 1 tiles and then wave 2 is the first big batch of coastal tiles and the lakes.

More tiles… so I caved and after a very positive job interview I ordered a few more. I didn’t get the job which is a whole different story, but after that knock back, back to the grind… the inevitable mountains, including 2 river sources, another full forest tile, another moor tile and 3 marsh tiles, including another 2 river sources and a marsh estuary - which is a clue to what else is coming up.

Well, a job interview in town allowed for a mooch about town. Firstly, thank gods for Mock The Week as I wouldn’t have known WHSmiths has changed its name. TGJones is the name of a shoe shop ffs.

Anyway, thought I’d just check out Wargames Illustrated, see if there was a freebie and instead we have a new GW part work. Skaven warlock and rat ogres, I can find a use for them I think. Certainly at £31 less than the store value for the rat ogres. by @anevilgiraffe

Next batch - mainly woods. The group shots are very useful as it gives me a better idea of how it’s coming together. Case in point, I changed two tiles, adding two new river pieces, one as marshland and a fork going in the opposite direction. Much more practical than a hill tile and another walled farm tile. But I’ve got such an itch to do more. I’ve loved this project.
Just a couple of villages to do now. Need to attack the edges with some sandpaper though, some are very snug - looks like there are little knobs from the 3D supports that will need seeing to…

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).

Oathmark Goblins - a mashup of the Goblin Infantry and the Goblin Slaves sprues. Took an age with the green stuff, but the fur especially came out nicely, but was very laborious, so cloth mantles for the majority.

Five Leagues needs 14 melee, 3 missile and 3 different leader types. I’ve more than enough, in fact enough to run 3x 6 figured infantry units for Dragon Rampant. Job done.

Well, that’s all 50 pretty much done.
16 river tiles, including a manor, 2 villages, 2 woodland and 3 river bends.

34 lowland tiles, including a town, a manor, a henge, a ruin, 2 farms, 2 villages, 5 marshes (including a monastery), 4 isolated barns/cottages, and sundry woods, hills, moors and fields.

If I had the cash, I’d get more tiles as I’ve really enjoyed making these. Mountains and coasts may yet happen.
