About the Project
Empire of the Dead is one of those games I've always liked the look of but never gave it a chance. So I picked up the rules and a couple of factions. I just need some scenery

Adding pavement
I felt something was missing and it's pavement. I have some home made dungeon tiles that I think work OK as a bade for my building to sit on. They just needed painting.
Hartolia brick building
After watching the channel at the weekend I was introduced to Hartolia. Now I have an fdm printer I found a great victorian looking set of buildings. I had to scale it up slightly to fit my models.
I loved painting these brick walls. Much better than mdf for the texture. Lots of leather brown and orange with buff sandstone and the odd grey brick and green wash. I have a lot of these to print I think.
Repainting my warehouse
I've had this sarissa warehouse for some time and has been used in many different games. This was a good excuse to repaint it slightly and give it a fresh look.Architectural Inspiration
Watson fothergill operated as an architect in late Victorian Nottingham and is responsible for some of the cities most impressive buildings. Its an interesting combination of red brick sand stone and dark wood. If I ever do Frostgrave I’d probably paint my fantasy city up in similar colours. For my Victorian project it made sense to go with this look which is so striking in the local area. So my buildings will follow this colour palette.
Having a go
Empire of the dead is a steampunk skirmish game that leans towards the gothic horror side of victoriana. I've done victorian science fiction on mars but I fancied a bit of a pea supper gothic game. I got the rules and two factions. The first I painted was the Bedlam brotherhood. An odd mix of characters who may have broken free from the famous asylum.
I painted these up in an afternoon. I never spend too long painting minis. As long as they are table ready I'm happy
