Project Startup

A wargames project set in the medieval period, during the 12th/13th centuries, this post outlines the concept and what figures I'll most likely be using.

For this project, I'll use my 18C imaginary nation of the Kingdom of Wittenberg and wind the time frame back to 13th century.  The concept will be based around knight-errant Johann de Thedmers arriving in the Duchy of Wittenberg and getting involved in local goings-on (conflict between barons, outlaws in the forest, questing and so on...)

Wargame figures will sourced from :

  • Triguard Miniatures - 40mm medieval range
  • Suitable 40mm medieval figures from 3D print services
  • Sash & Sabre 40mm Dark Ages range (saxons, vikings, normans)
