Blood of Heroes is a set of miniature wargame rules for refighting battles in any fantasy setting. They will be released later this year, but first we will be doing playtest games at Cold Wars in March. So now, we're building a battle table to refight the Battle of Five Armies from The Hobbit (the book version!).
Not just any table, but a massive, custom-built table with the Lonely Mountain and the entire battlefield laid out in its majestic glory! And you can follow that momentous project right here. Every few days we will be posting new updates and photos (lots and lots of photos!), starting with the bare insulation board we're using for the base (and this is where we are now) and progressing all the way to the finished table, ready to be packed off and hauled to Lancaster.
So if you will be at Cold Wars, and you like what you see, the games are in the PEL, so pre-register or sign up when you get to the con. If not (or if so) feel free to leave comments on this blog and let us know what you think. We may also be posting some info about the rules themselves and some shots of the hundreds (and hundreds) of 15mm figures we'll be using.
Even if you won't be at Cold Wars, and you're not interested in fantasy gaming - but you are a crazy terrain whore like us - you may enjoy watching the table take shape. We're going to try a number of new techniques, and we're looking to make this the best table we've built.
