I still remember thinking I would never be able to stage such a scenario, but I tried nevertheless. The Ziggurat itself was modeled using wooden toy blocks, but figures were a problem (plastic 1/72 Atlantic Romans served as Dwarves and Orcs), and I only had a handful of trees to model the surrounding forest.
30 years later, things have changed. I now have enough trees to fill my gaming table twice, several 1000s of miniatures for all sorts of periods, and I even have a nice model for the Ziggurat. The model was built on commission during the 90s by a talented guy who also frequented the local gaming shop. When he announeced he would take commissions for buildings and scenery, I knew exactly what I wanted! The Ziggurat of Doom!
Here some photos I took yesterday:
I have used the Ziggurat for several games over the years, most notably our pulp King Kong game, but also for some generic fantasy games.
King Kong game, 2007 |
Te Wapen game, probably 1995 |
A very imposing presence, lovely building!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is a bit hard to store though ...
DeleteIt looks amazing. That sort of structure would be a lot of fun to play with too, since it's got the nice flat surfaces and the different levels. Beauty.
ReplyDeleteMatthew,
DeleteThanks! It has been a while since I used it in a game, but one of the next games will exactly be the WFB1 scenario. I am cleaning up my Oldhammer Orcs&Goblins exactly for that purpose.
