Watch this space for sneak peeks at some of the new scenery and models, and feel free to ask any questions as well!

Is it true Dinas Ffordd be renamed Gralburg in honor of its mightiest hero?

Alright, alright!

SWEET!!! Hey look, shoreline tiles for VillageWorks, just like you gave...me...the heads-up about... Before I wrestled with Photshop... to create shoreline tiles... (I promise I'll listen next time...)

Trust me, Sharkycharger, there's quite a few more shoreline tiles than the ones shown, too!

Thats pretty cool. I might pick this one up if there are a significant number of new models. Not a lot of wow factor there, but lots of utility. Cool.

I like mine better!!!

A partial list of what you’ll get in DF1:

New Masterboard tiles: Shore and water tiles to make any size river, stream or lake. Islands and rapids too!

New hill system: Simple, sturdy pieces to make any valley, slope, hilltop or canyon. Innovative lock-together design, so even the highest hills are tough enough for metal figures to fight on.

New standees: More than 20 characters and critters of various sizes.

New models: Two new rooftops for VillageWorks buildings, a gibbet for meting out final justice to wrongdoers, flavor items, a giant wagon, and more. Plus SECRET things that we can’t tell you about yet!

Players’ Book: An introduction to the city of Dinas Ffordd and the world of Arcraetia, including D&D character creation. Maps!

DM’s Book: The complete adventure, plus background material on history, money, magic, languages, etc. More maps!

Illustration Book: Beautiful full-page pictures to bring the adventure to life for players.

And of course, everything is compatible with both VillageWorks and future WorldWorks sets.

Excellent! Hmmmm, not into the role play, but I can see D-Day invasions, Gaslight and Blood & Swash pirates, even 28mm Vietnam gaming with the Marines landing, Riverine combat, etc., etc. With all the new WWG stuff coming out with optional non-grided, may I ask if this will apply here as well? I tend to ignore it pretty well anyway if not. With just recently getting into the Vietnam era gaming, this mixed with Skull Cove might just be a good setting for that era RPG that is out there. And of course we can see the Stargate folks on there as well. Great stuff.

The next preview is here!

This one's a static model, but I do have some ideas on how to make it functional as a kitbash down the road...

That looks really cool.

Here's a nice close-up of the Ferry:

Is it? Could it be? A moose? No...must be a burro.

Nifty, but looks like a tedious build. I hate fiddly bits.

I did something similar years back with balsa and twine.
