Carcosa District. City 3

As the year draws to a close I have been able to add some more buildings to the Carcosa District

Some wall sections, will add some more broken sections and doorways 

All the buildings have multiple points and ledges for walkways and ladders

Bridge with buildings on it

structures alternate to break up the LOS

Roof of central building can come off. The floor is wooden and the ceiling is painted as an Egyptian tomb with a stylised star filled night sky

A very crowded Carcosa District so far.

Lord Solar and his Court explore the Carcosa District 

The next build will be a specific Michael Hutter inspired piece and some ground level terrain pieces/Debris/obstructions

Carcosa District. City 2

i have been able to add a couple more buildings to the district and complete the last of the scatter terrain from the last time I started this project which were some walkways, although with the planned size of the final distract, I will need to add a lot more!

The Walkways were made from coffee stirrers, I added some rags to give some more depth and detail, these were made with tissue paper and superglue

Three more city base tiles so I can at least present my progress better!

This was the first building I made so set the style and measurements, all the other building levels match up so walkways can work 

Doorway added with coffee stirrers 

The ruined second floor was originally going to be bare stone but I decided to add a wooden floor which will help to break up the solid yellow

Completed building with the ruined section looking rotten and bruised similar to the Mausoleum 

Open sewer which could be used for access to lower levels or exit points for vermin. Multiple points to add walkways or hide characters 

Wooden flooring

Crooked tower.This was originally going to be one of the towers for the Silent Tower Scenario but I decided to make the towers more robust and to use this as another building. The multiple floors will make it a good hub for walkways

decayed doorway and wooden post supporting the next level

District so far

Next on the list will be some bridge buildings and wall sections

Carcosa District. The Haunted Houses Part 1

This is a small update on the Carcosa District Project with completion of the second building.
The building is a small test for the Haunted House Scenario, rather than a series of small ruined buildings i have decided on a series of kiosk shrines, this will fit in better with the wider district look and add more terrain and hideaways!

The broad top will allow it to be used for walkways, i might extend it further for the next ones to create pathways that can link up to the larger buildings on a second level

Carcosa District emerges 

Carcosa District. The Mausoleum Part 2

The House of Lord Solar

The Church of the Dead Sun was no more.Its brightest had led the way into the white wall that devoured the great city and died for their defiance. But not all had joined the procession and from that cabal Lord Solar remained.

As the end approached Lord Solar withdraw to the tomb he had long held prepared and called to him those servants and courtiers he would take with him. They filled the first chamber beneath the edifice and took the sacrament that would end their lives and bind them to him forever. Their spirits locked inside their bodies as they awaited his commands.

Deeper still lay the vault of Lord Solar and a Pale yellow sarcophagus inset with carnelian runes and wards. resplendent in his ceremonial robes of scarlet and yellow, he lay down and bound his spirit to his body that he might endure the cold and wake one day to take his place in the city.

With the building completed I started work on the skeletons, and also a backstory and reason for the scenario. I had a vision of a powerful sorcerer who had tried to survive the destruction, the mausoleum an ancient bunker, and his most loyal servants sat dead in obedient rows waiting to be summoned.

The Games Workshop skeletons had started last time I attempted Frostgrave so were all given new lower bases

I wanted my skeletons to be robed to fit the image of them as resurrected servants. Tissue paper was wrapped around them to make the robes and then wiped over with superglue which hardens it, you can also use drying time to shape it as well 

Skeletons rebased and first coat of Soft yellow added.

Bases completed 

To create the undead Sorcerer Lord Solar I used an old Games Workshop Wight and raised him up to make him more imposing and give the impression of him floating

Robes and cloak added with tissue paper and superglue

Completed Lord Solar

Completed skeletons, each of them bears a parchment nailed to them binding them to Lord Solar

Lord Solar and his court emerge from his Mausoleum 

Next on my list will be a couple more general buildings, some more bases and the Genie and bottle.
