Warmaster: City & Ruins Work in Progress

This is primarily what my 3d printer has been doing for the last few months. Printing a small walled city for Warmaster.

This entire project came about when I was looking at some 25mm field walls I'd bought a couple decades ago. Some were resin from a company call Armorcraft (iirc) and some were from Pegasus (I think you can still purchase these). The Pegasus ones were pre-painted. I use these mostly for skirmish games, but also as a quick way to setup dungeon rooms when playing D&D. At the time, I was thinking they might work as an old city wall for Epic games since there wasn't anything about them that defined their scale.

Fast forward to a few months ago. I was looking for themed terrain for my Warmaster Skaven army and found some ruins I could 3d print. Along with those, the modeller had made some non-ruined houses. I started printing, found more stl files that would work, printed more. Then I remembered my 25mm field walls and the idea that they'd work well as city walls. The scope kept increasing, I kept printing. Printed and assembled guard towers for the wall, and walk-ways for the walls (not pictured since they aren't painted yet). I'm about 1/2 way done with painting and about 90% done with printing. At some point I need to call it and move on to other things.

Editorial: It's going to be Epic!

I went back and forth on what I should document first, and ultimately decided to display my Epic Projects.

Roughly 2 1/2 years ago, I decided to paint up some GamesWorkshop Epic miniatures. I had collected these a long time ago for a fraction of the price they currently sell for. Epic scale is roughly 6mm scale (read: really tiny), and the miniatures themselves are beautifully detailed.

After a few purchases to update the armies, and a year and a half later, I'd painted roughly 18,000 points worth of Epic. I painted 3 "armies", each to roughly 6,000 points. That works out to about 1,000 points per month. To give you some idea of what the above numbers mean; Epic is typically played at the 2-3 thousand point level (although I've seen games of over 10,000 points), so I have enough to miniatures to field 3-5 games worth (both sides!).
