Necropolis Board part 1

In October we started with our first board for Necropolis, and with an appropriate theme! – the Eternal Autumn configuration from the Necropolis rulebook. The configuration is such that it only requires 3 trees, which we considered too boring, so instead of one tree, we plan to build a cubic lime kiln and 2 streams.

The board is inspired by Hawthorne's story Ethan Brand, where several characters talk about the unforgivable sin (next to a lime kiln in the middle of an American pastoral idyll). Aesthetically, we're aiming for early fall with rural motifs, along with gnarled trees (ala Burton's Sleepy Hollow) and a few pumpkins.

For now, we are very far from any aesthetic choices because we have dealt with the basic structure of the board: the housing is made of pine glued boards for the floor and pine profiles for the sides. After we glued everything with Drvofix, the entire housing was finely sanded. The size of the Styrodur board that fits into the ho...

WE ATTENDED: AmuletD20 Grand Tournament 2025

In early October I had the opportunity to visit my neighbors from the Amuletd20 association. This time it wasn't an artsy Turnip28 event, but a huge tournament in AOS and Conquest games.

Besides the main event, there were tables playing Kings of War, as well as Warhammer: The Old World, where I came with my Chaos Dwarfs.

Unfortunately, I think TOW was the least represented with four players, but this little community was wonderful! Players helped each other with the rules and the games were very friendly. In addition to my choirs, there was also an army of High Elves at the event, as well as two armies of Brettons.

I spent my event fighting the noble knights of Brettonia, and I believe that my dwarves were helped by the atypical mobility obtained from the monsters (Wyverna, Lammasu and Bale Taurus) accompanied by the antithesis of HŽ (Iron Daemon) and a spell that increased the infantry's mobility.

Back to Basics Workshops in Medveščak Library

During October and November, we held our Back to Basics miniature painting workshops for the youngest at the Zagreb City Libraries.

The first set of three workshops was held in the Youth Department of the Medveščak Library on October 2, 9 and 11, 2025.

During the workshops, our youngest participants painted chibi figures from the UMS Agram line and made a castle from upcycled materials.

Gaslands - Tutorial II

In this article I will briefly describe how I painted another set of three cars for Gaslands. Same as last time, I started with a black undercoat.

As I decided to keep the colour of the vehicles matt black, I left it at that and proceeded to paint the windshields. Using much the same method I used for the yellow crew, I applied the chosen paint scheme. Unlike blue windshields with the yellow crew, here I decided to use the yellow/red combo.

I then added chrome.

In the end, I added metallic details such as guns etc.

It was time to add the decals. I first painted all the surfaces with gloss varnish. Then I added the decals and after they set properly, I covered everything with Ultra Matt Varnish..

And thus ended the painting process.

GASLANDS - tutorial

In this article I will briefly describe how I painted a set of three cars for Gaslands. I started with a black undercoat and then applied a silver (Leadbelcher) spray as the base color.

Then I used the Rust effect from Dirty Down. Once the effect was dry, I sprayed the cars with a clear matte varnish to protect the layer of rust (which is activated when exposed to moisture). After the spray dried, I applied the Scratches and Heavy Chipping effect from Ammo by Mig Jimenez with a brush. After about fifteen minutes of drying, I sprayed the cars in yellow and let it dry for about 15 minutes. I used a brush to apply water over the cars and used a stiff brush, wooden skewer and cotton swab to remove the excess paint that was activated due to the Scratches and Heavy Chipping effects.

Then came the painting. First I covered all the details that would not be yellow in black. Then I used blue to draw out the reflections on the glass. Added the metal details (engines ...
