Great blog you have. Good to see people who like miniatures and terrain.</p> <p>I have all sorts of terrain that I’ve been collecting for the past 3 years. My town is mainly composed of Ziterdes houses. You can see more of my stuff <a href="http://forge-quest.blogspot.com">here</a> and <a href="http://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/t6045-joao-s-random-workshop">here</a>. Everything (or nearly everything) is properly credited, so you can check who the manufacturers are.</p> <p>Ziterdes have relatively cheap terrain and they are super strong as opposed to other terrain, mainly resin. The downside is that you don’t get interiors. Also, some of their houses look too “boxy”.</p> <p><br/>I changed my idea of collecting terrain when I looked into what <a href="http://thestonecuttersguild.tumblr.com/tagged/dunbrough">Jeff, from Stonecutter’s Guild</a> was up to. All those houses you see there were made by him and look amazing. This made me want to build my own.</p> <p>The great advantage is  being able to create something unique that I want, instead of being dependent on what manufacturers come up with. In other words, you can create whatever you want.<br/>Sure, it takes time to make your own houses, but in the end they will represent your vision of what you want for your town.<br/><br/>Let me know what kind of terrain you’re planning in getting. Maybe I could get inspiration from your project. :)<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/><br/>Joao</p>http://joaosworld.tumblr.com/post/27323352684http://joaosworld.tumblr.com/post/27323352684Mon, 16 Jul 2012 09:30:00 +0000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m76dky2yhC1qf5j2co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A tribe of orclings storms out of their sacred temple</p>http://joaosworld.tumblr.com/post/27223931932http://joaosworld.tumblr.com/post/27223931932Sun, 15 Jul 2012 00:05:22 +0000orclingswargameswargamingminiatureswargame
