Verrotwood

I decided that it would be fun to create a list of cult names that could randomly generated. I was aiming for slightly silly results. There are a million combos, I decided to repeat the second (now seen as the third) column as a prefix too,  thus giving you  100 million possibilities! just put an ‘of the’ betwixt the ‘noun’ and ‘adjective’ column and you are good to go.

I have to give credit here to Limburg from the Beasts of War discord community who has created a handy online version of this generator . He has also bought the game,so I look forward to his tabletop creations too.

I starting cobbling together bits and pieces I will need to make the terrain and accompanying miniatures. You only need 4 miniatures to make your warband, going by my previous behaviors I will probably end up making about 40.

Much as I am itching to get a brush on some miniatures, I decided to start on the terrain first. To push myself a little I am going to try and make a couple of resin ponds and fully scratch build a witch hovel

Once in a while a game will just jump out and bombard me with glorious opportunity, Verrotwood for me was the trigger for a storm of ideas circling in my head. I had wanted to make a set of grim fairytale style forest, I own Silver bayonet and have a few props I could use to make a table, but a fairly generic, non-spooky one. Then I acquired Forbidden Psalm and I had another reason to want some grimdark terrain, but not really a great impetus to start.

I had been mulling over a corrupted forest set and then I stumbled across Verrotwood on Wargame vault. The art style and great miniature photos grabbed me. Some of the minis were similar to some of my Frostgrave (with one eye on Dragon Rampant) cultist kit-bashes I had been throwing together.
