Ishoo Ninty-Ate: Italian Village House

It often seems like all fantasy wargames take place in Northern Europe, what with Warhammer's Empire and Bretonnia being set there, but there's really no reason Souther Europe shouldn't get a look in. Italy is popular with WW2 gamers, and played host to a whole lot of fascinating medieval happenings (and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet - which would make an awesome Mordhiem campaign!), and fortunately for all concerned, making an italian style house is so easy even a hippo could do it! Cue Grot!

And there you have it hippo fans! You can quite easily modernise this for WW2 or modern scenarios by adding some signs and posters to the outside, and maybe some down-pipes and guttering.

Come back next ishoo to witness the greatness of Trollkin Huts, and don't forget to enter the TFH Annual Terraing Compometition which ends in less than a month!

World War Two For Hippos: Ishoo Sixty-For Bee: Pretty Pictures of Normandy Beaches

Well, it took a little while, but here they are! Pictures of all four sections of the Normandy Beach set. Some members of the USMC have agreed to pose for the photos to give them scale, although they are at present not painted. That's a job for another day...

Ishoo Sixty-For: World War Two For Hippos - Normandy Beaches

If you are going to play the Normandy Campaign, chances are you will eventually get the itch to refight the D Day landings. Which is understandable. And epic. You'll need beaches. Lots of beaches. Big beaches. But do not lose heart!  A beach is not an insurmountable obstacle! Let Drill Sergeatn Cleetus P. Grot III explain.

And there you have it Hippo fans! It's not really very hard to build a single beach module - you'll probably want at least four of these so you can set them up next to each other as a four-foot long beach front to fight over.
Pretty pictures are now available of the whole set.
Anyway, that's about it for the World War Two for Hippos fortnight. I'm working on Chaos conversions right now, but we have not seen the last of Oufsette Des Frite - the other parts of town will be built in future!
