Peter Gifford's long awaited "Thoumont's Rare Tomes And Components" is finally here!!! I just want to say how proud I am of Peter for the incredible work he's done on this set, to Bob Cooper for helping him finish things up and get it out the door and to Scott Reid for squeezing in a Himmelveil street sample The time and consideration Peter took to force little details in there is all too apparent. This is a terrain set which represents everything WWG stands for and is a must have for anyone seeking a top of the line environment for their game setting

Nice work Gents!

Thoumont's Rare Tomes and Components

File Size = 28.6MB

Welcome, friend, to Thoumont's Rare Components and Tomes...a shop with a little bit of everything for the knowledgable and distinguished patron of the literary arts...and a few things that simply aren't sold anywhere else (perhaps for good reason). Located in the heart of Himmelveil's upscale mercantile district, Thoumont's is a sizable two-storey shop with room enough for Thoumont herself to maintain considerable storage, or even have her home upstairs.

Thoumont's is the second in our line of Himmelveil buildings, following after the Harbormaster. The shop itself is sizable (7" x 10" on the ground, nearly 9" by 12" at the roofline) and the upper storey sprawls outwards beyond the edges of the ground floor. The structure itself is amazingly textured in 300-dpi hi-resolution by WorldWorks newcommer Peter Gifford.

But it is when you step inside that you are truly amazed by what is in this set! The level of detail in the bookshelves, tables, countertops and crates is amazing! A wide variety of layouts are possible within the bounds of the structure's outer walls, and some of the details in the build have to be seen to be believed. The set includes:

* Walls and floors enough to build the two-storey structure of Thoumont's, with alternate walls to bring the bookstore to life (as either a relatively "normal" bookstore or a more fanciful "magic shop") or to generic it down to allow for other types of shops...including a raised floor entrance and a bay window!
* Alternate floors with dark designs patterned upon it, should Thoumont be a practioner of foul magics.
* Adjustable interior walls for varied layouts.
* The ceiling of the ground floor, and the ceiling under the roof are also FULLY TEXTURED!
* Crates (8 types), Tables, Bookcases, a massive Countertop layout, Stairs going up, a Trapdoor going down, and a standalone Woodstove and Chimney that can be placed anywhere within the building.
* Two styles of tiled roof...one that creates a simple peak, and another that has full gables on either side.
* A transparency option for all of the windows to allow a peek inside.
* A street sign.
* A preview of Streets of Himmelveil, provided courtesy of Scott Reid and designed so that Thoumont's will fit seamlessly into said streets upon release, custom-fit to the shop itself.
* As always, fully photographed instructions to take you through the build process.
* Last, but not least...Thoumont's is featured in the new WWG fantasy adventure module, Under the Veil by Will Belford.

So come on in...browse a book or two and explore Thoumont's Rare Components and Tomes today!

It great to see this released. Its a great looking set.

I'm already thinking up uses for this set!

Good to see a release before Christmas...now hopefully some others will follow prior as well.

This is a beautiful set. The textures are even nicer in real life. Great job guys!

A long time in the making, indeed, but one that I'm glad is out the door. I can't wait to hear what you guys think, what captures your imagination, and to see what uses you put Thoumonts to.

What are the grid options?

Me too! Now, for my next set ... hmmm, should be finished about 2011 ...!

1", 1.5" and gridless as per our usual standard

I posted about this over at DragonAvenue...maybe you guys could pop in and say hi:

The woodstove is a marvelous bit. I am considering how to modify it to form the firebox on a boiler. Come payday it is going to be mine.

The Auld Grump

Change some of the interior props here and there, and you would have Scrooge & Marley's place.

Either that or at a standing desk.

I like much the setting obtained by Peter for this set. Really it gives the sensation of being a building replete with mystery and magic with a dark atmosphere that invites to be to construct it for his beauty.Congratz for the release.Will be mine soon.

Denny, Peter & Bob

THis looks great and is exactly what I am looking forward to from Himmelveil (smaller sets, not too complicated, quick to build). I shall purchase and make both this and the Harbormaster set to give me a good start on my fantasy city.

Unfortunately, I maxed out on my Urban Grind purchase this month, so it'll have to wait till January for a download.

Very glad to see you're all excited by ol' Thoumont's folks!

Wow! Very impressive

How long does the build take? It doesn't seem like it would be too long.

well that one depends on your level of experience in building paper models. From what I see it would take me about 3-4 hours if that! But also keep in mind I build like a MAD MAN !!!!!! So I would guess for the average person 7-10 hours to build this bad boy

Me likey!

Me wanty!

Me havey!

Gratz on a great looking model!

All downloaded and coming out of the printer now.

Will make an excellent Mordheim building

Hmmm, so Thoumont's ties in with Under the Veil, eh?

The Auld Grump

Indeed...it's one of the scenes in the adventure.

Oh, now that's not fair - that's baiting, that is!

And here I am with enough to build already.
Oh well, I'll just have to put Under the Veil on the list as well, now.
