Battle in Orkness Harbour

 We fought the conclusion of our latest Beowulf adventure on table last night.  Pictures from the game are below.  Spoiler alert if any one cares to play the Seven Stones adventure.

Thigmund the Thee Therpent swims into the harbour for this full moon’s  sacrifice.


The sea serpent is a 3D print from MyMinifactory printed off by local gamer Jeremy.

The sea serpent and the town.


The town buildings and long ship are MDF kits from Sarissa Precision sold as a Viking Town set along with a dock.

Instead of the town’s sacrifice, the raft carries Alys with a torch and  a barrel of pitch and oil
Alys narrowly avoided becoming gravlaks and substituted the flaming barrel.

The serpent took its revenge with a couple of nasty tail attacks as Alys swims for shore.  Duncan the Old Ways spiritual leader comes to her aid and is killed in her stead.
The final action between the sea serpent and the adventuring party plus followers.  The figures are mostly Gripping Beast except for the four heroes on hexagonal bases. 
The four heroes are by Handiwork games, publishers of the Beowulf RPG, and 3D printed by Curt.

    1. Cheers Jonathan! I was pretty pleased with both the quality of the print and how it turned out.

  2. Oh dear! I almost wish I hadn't seen this! It is GREAt! I love the illusion that you can see the submerged portion of the monster through the water. I confess that curiosity, wonder, and envy led me to blow up the pictures until I could see the masterfully executed illusion of water splashing up. My hat is off!

    What is the sea itself, just a very well printed vinyl Matt or?? or..?

    Prince Valiant and friends are suddenly feeling very B grade!

    1. The printed figure is really nice. I used layered washes in the sea - pthalo green base with pthalo blue and then Payne’s gray washes.

      The sea mat is Curt’s. It is a commercial make, but couldn’t say who makes it.

  4. As others have said, the Sea Serpent is super, and the rest of the set up is just so visually appealing. Fantastic job!
