PanzerKaput Goes To Barons’ War

About the Project
Set against a backdrop of a Civil War that lasted for two years, 1215-17, as a result of the issuing of Magna Carta. A civil war was the perfect opportunity for the leading nobles of the time to grab land and power while settling some old scores along the way. This vying for land and power hadn't stopped since the invasion of 1066 with only the strongest of kings being able to keep their nobles in check. Our narrative focuses on small groups of warriors brought together under a lord or baron to raid and steal or defend land and property. With the strong, wise, cunning and lucky aiming to rise out of this civil strife in a better position than when it started. The Barons' War skirmish game has been written to enable players to fight out tabletop battles against the backdrop of the First Barons’ War between rival Barons or rival factions who find themselves on either side of the conflict. The game is historically themed, the gameplay is fast-paced and tactical with plenty of narrative and where force building presents you with lots of options enabling two players to muster very different retinues. However, as intended, this is an alpha set of rules which does not include rules for siege warfare, although rules for fighting in buildings are included. Campaign rules are something that will be addressed at a later date and released online. Having grown out of the Barons’ War Kickstarter project, the intention is for this ruleset to develop into a system that could be used throughout the Medieval period. Starting with England from when the Western Roman Empire withdrew around 410 AD to 1485 AD when Richard III died at the Battle of Bosworth Field. This presents us with a huge span of history for gaming which can be broadly divided into Romano-British, Anglo-Saxon and Viking, Anglo-Norman, Angevin and Plantagenet. And that’s just when looking at it from Great Britain. With warriors of this period being pretty similar, it would be easy to use the profiles in this rulebook to play out tabletop battles in any setting. Over time we see these rules evolving with additional warriors, characters, abilities and scenarios being added starting with the Dark Ages, the Anarchy and the Crusades and shared to www.warhost.online, which has been set up to be the community website for the game.

New YouTube Video about the Complete Humerstane Village
I have uploaded a new video about the completely finished village of Humerstane, Wimentum by Warhost/Footsore for their The Barons’ War: A Medieval Skirmish Game.
Easy to build and lovely to paint, I am chuffed to bits with them and I hope you like them too.

The Village of Humerstane Finished
The village of HumerstaneHere is the whole completed village of Humerstane in if full glory, minus a couple of things. I am really impressed by these as they are so full of character and very nicely proportioned to 28mm. These are 3d designed and resin prints and really nicely detailed, quite subtly details too, with lots of interest to pick out and lovely and clean. Building wise it could be simpler as they have on the inside the directions, front/back and you just match them up, but really its child’s play.
Painting wise they are a dream. I just did a dark to light scheme and a lot of drybrushing to bring out the details and washes. These models take washes well as there is a subtle surface which is brought out but both techniques.
These are the Wimentum Village for Warhost‘s Barons’ War game but I can see these working for any early medieval, high medieval, right thought to the Jacobite Wars in the a8th century. Also I high these will be great for fantasy games like Burrows and Badgers, the Woods, etc and also for Star Wars too.
What do you think, what other periods or genre would you use them for?
New Video on Humerstane's Smithy, Barn and a Lookout Tree
I have finished the last parts of Warhost’s Wimentum Village, that being the Blacksmith’s Forge, the Lookout Post and Barn, plus some further accessories. I have to say that these 3D sculpts and resin prints are very nice indeed with a good level of detail on them and a nice, true size. I also think, though I am no expert, have the right fee of early to mid Medieval dwelling, as does the whole range, and will look so good on the table table in the middle of a Baron’s War battle. I have added a potters wheel and table too from Iron Gate Scenery as it looks so good and artisan.
But I also think these and the rest of the range will whole for other periods and games, games like The Woods and dare I say it Burrows and Badgers, (does that mean I get a golden button now? lol), but seriously they will fit nicely with them.
New Video on Humerstane's New Hovels
I’ve finished the hovels from Warhost’s Wimentum Village set and take a couple of better pictures of them in my Barons’ War setting. Well they look really good and I cannot wait to get them out on the table to play a game around.
They are simple to put together and look really effective. I’ve painted mine in the traditional colours of Essex buildings but these colours would of been common in the 13th century. What do you think?

The Village of Humerstane Expands Again
New Building for the Village of HumerstaneI’ve finished the hovels from Warhost’s Wimentum Village set and take a couple of better pictures of them in my Barons’ War setting. Well they look really good and I cannot wait to get them out on the table to play a game around.

New Video about St Mary's of Humerstane
I am starting on working through the beautiful buildings from the last Baron’s War 3 Kickstarter, the Wimentum Village and have finished the first part of the village set, the Church. I have loved working on this building and it has been real fun to build and paint. The Church is St Oswald’s in the game which is a lovely digitally sculpted early medieval church, which can be used for other periods and games, I think real up to the mid 18th century, Jacobites anyone.
It is a dream to build and paint, simple to build, no issues and very intuitive. Painting wise it takes washed and drybrushes very well. Its nicely details and it is quite large compared to other buildings as it is closer to true 28mm scale as are all the buildings in the set but that’s no problem as buildings do come in different sizes. I am looking forward to painting the rest of the village.
