Work In Progress 15th Century Italian Soldiers

-

Somewhat planned painting palette

Lately been in a rut planning and even starting the painting process for my medieval 15th century Italian soldiers. I will say what makes this project more easier is focusing on a section of italy. Basically Northern Italy (Milan, Venice, Genoa, Verona) Central Italy (Florance, Pisa, Umbria, Perugia, Lucca) and Southern Italy (Naples, Sicily, Calabria). I also own 13th century knights that can also represent italy so the painting is easier since there are better example than the pieces for the 15th century. 

Though as I think about this chances are I'll be focusing on the early 15th century of Italy before the Italian Wars to avoid Milan, Venice and any other armies. So mostly mercenaries that have their own color palette.

Early 15th century Italian Soldiers
 

While the benefits are I don't have to overly detail my 1/72 minis. It doesn't give anyone an idea which italian-state they belong too other than what they dress in. What's also important about this too is the addtional armor that comes into this period like the brigandine.

There also are two Knights included that have a surcoat that could represent a Player Character or leader for wargaming purposes. Though I think the latter is what I will use for my Solo RPGs. If you wanna know where I got my figures be sure to check Ebay and this review from Plastic Soldier Review and look for these figures.

I don't regret buying this
 

Honestly not much else to go over with this upcoming project. I just don't wanna mess these figures up because they all look wonderful. Also to give an update as well to what I've been up to behind the scenes. I won't forget the Actual Play that I have coming soon to this blog. As always  stay tuned!

Axebane's Deck Of Many Dungeons

A Gamemaster's Ultimate Toolkit I feel like it's hard not to convince a new or experienced Dungeon Master to solve constraints of life. Especially for the drawer that gets exhausted to draw a dungeon or wilderness map. So the solution? A Deck of Many Dungeons The great benefit having these cards are to create plenty of dungeons that are suitable for one-shots to campaigns. Additionally the solo player benefits to reduce game prep. This review of the product is short to encourage folks to buy this if this interests you. My First Dungeon Laid Out   Rules And Tables for Quest Items and NPCs The dungeon starts with a Ace card that gives you a quest table to get an idea of running the game. The rest follows by pulling cards from the deck and rolling tables for sounds, contents, monsters and treasure found throughout. Of course, you can fill the dungeon as you wish and use your fantasy rpg of choice.  Once you fill in the unconnected dungeon with no corridor with an empty space. th...

How To Enjoy The Cleric Class

The 50 Faith Build Class I wanted to start a 'How To' series focused on the classic D&D classes that have a long history from OD&D to the present day. I have no experience with modern editions of D&D so I can't share my input of the classes we still have today. So I'll be providing examples and discussions with this series. so without further ado let's start with the Cleric! When it comes to classic RPGs and today's video games. The White Mage, Healer, Paladins and eventually any character that performs healing and buffs can act as a support character. In OD&D and later on AD&D the cleric was born to fulfill the role of a healer, undead hunter and additional utility spells. The Cleric was the very first healer before OD&D's Greyhawk supplement introduced the Paladin. Which allowed a Fighter to essentially perform healing while having military proficiency. However, the cleric still provides most of the divine magic which doesn't ge...

15th Century Wargaming

The 15th Century & Delaying Lazy Projects When It comes to wargaming I try to go on the web and learn which system works best that is both engaging yet simple at the same time, whether or not It's historical wargaming. I played a few times with a friend of mine using By This Axe and it was very simple and fun. While by "default" it is ideal for historical war games. There are appendixes like running theater of the mind or playing fantasy battles with 1:5 or 1:20 scales options available.     Front Cover of By This Axe   I mostly know Fantasy because I've watched Lord of The Rings, Conan, Salomon Kane, Red Sonja and other media and literature to feel more at home playing. As for Historical well that is where most of that falls flat on my face. So I went ahead and found another system that focuses more on smaller battles and mostly fantasy. This game was called Songs Of Blade And Heroes .  But I played it a few times and didn't enjoy it because it was "to...
