Observations of the Fox

The Warhammer Fantasy RPG world, which is the same setting as "The Old World" for Warhammer is set in an equivalent era to the late Middle Ages and early Rennaisance...and my research indicates that Tulou were built from the 15th century onwards. So, by these two ideas, Tulou wouldn't be anachronistic in the setting. Similarly, even though there are plenty of other anachronisms in there already, this sort of building would probably be pretty mundane for the world. The catch now is working out how big the structure needs to be, and how many people would live in it. Traditionally, it looks like a couple of hundred people would live in a Tulou, and if this first illustration as anything to go by, there would be 30 to 40 rooms spread around the circle (36 in this case), at 3 storeys of habitation. So that's about 90-120 rooms (with a few people in each room). It was all very egalitarian, with similar sized rooms, and I'm figuring that people would work outside the bui...

It always begins with an idea. The idea was to make some terrain in preparation for the final arrival of the Cathayan miniatures in Warhammer. I posted a link to the video...but here it is again... I've been waiting 30 years for this...well actually I've been waiting for the Nippon miniatures because I wanted to have samurai and ninja running around the table fighting off against Skaven and Chaos cultists and anything else that might be found in the Warhammer Old World... I figure the Nippon might be further down the track, and might be a barely touched spin off like the Brettonian armies, the Kislevites, or the Tilean trade guilds. At least we're getting the Cathayans, and that's a great start. My wife wants a full army (because we've got a queen coming who can magically transform into a dragon, and military hot air balloons), I want a full army... so we'll need some terrain to display our models on and to work as signature pieces to add to a table for conducti...
