Welcome to Marauder Moments - a chronicle of the Mortimer Street Marauders; the games we play, the rules we use, the figures we play with and the scenery they fight over. Hope you enjoy these pages and maybe call back to catch up with our escapades.

New scenics from Partizan

 A quick update to show off a few sample bits we picked up from Terrain Shed at Partizan. These are 6mm like all of our scenery used with the 10mm models. As hoped these really make our barren fields live especially in this game where there are so many vineyards serving the Abbey's wine producing monks - St Vincent of Saragossa would be proud I'm sure. 

Mini vines from the Terrain Shed. 

Here they are in situ near a walled manor farm.

Vine yards near the Abbey as Austrian troops redeploy in the back ground.

These are hedges masquerading as some kind of crop grown like this - no idea what though... possibly nuts?
Any ideas please tell me!

The enigmatic Terrain Shed...
No email, website, phone number or contact address, apparently they are on facebook. I'll look when I want some more if I can ever decide which product code to ask for based on the above!!!?
We also picked up some barrels, plinths for statues, wells, crates & sacks etc along with some walls. All of this will hopefully add to the aesthetic drama of these games. In time we want to get some wagons, civilians, field forges, ambulances, casualties, more livestock etc etc. I see no reason why 10mm can't have the detailed vignettes 28mm games have these days. If no one else is doing it we damn well will!

The next installment of Crossing the Edro is in the making so pop back soon.
Best wishes,

Jeremy

  1. It is always amazing how effective 6-10mm troops and scenery are on the table. In some ways more so than larger sizes and scales.

    1. Hi Stokes,
      I agree, you sacrifice some detail for the grand sweep instead. The troops can look very effective en masse as well, especially if you use BIG battalions like we do.

  2. Lovely terrain pieces Jeremy. They will look 'the business' on your expansive table filled with those well-painted 10s!

    1. Many thanks James, we're getting there, hopefully more fluffy bits to really add the detail which makes a table top "pop" and definitely more troops, lots more troops.
      Take care out there,
      Jeremy

    1. Hi Chasseur,
      yes it's those little extras which I enjoyed in 28mm which I see no reason to sacrifice in 10mm. Your granary is somewhat larger than ours though...
      Best wishes,
      Jeremy

    1. Every bit helps I think. Next up are some hay stacks before more troops to start to add a second line to the armies.
      Thanks for your support as usual Phil.
      Best wishes,
