 JOHANNES PERTWEE 

Johannes Pertwee owns the largest farm in Heiligsheld.

He has both crops and livestock.
It sits down river from the village proper.

The farmhouse used to belong to the Wechsler family, however several years ago on a particularly foreboding Geheimnisnacht’s eve the farmhouse was attacked by some mutated ones who wore the skins of wolves.
As fate would have it, Johannes was staying with the family helping with the harvest in exchange for coin and lodging.

Johannes being a former soldier was lucky enough to survive the terrible ordeal.
Alas the 3 members of the Wechsler family were all killed in a terrible fire that consumed the barn in which they were hiding.

Johannes does not like to talk about that night much, he says he tried to flee and escape but the skinwalkers had damaged the cart and he was unable to escape.
He had no choice but to fight.

He lives there now with his wife and Uli the dwarf.

    Great stuff and a worthy Golden Gobbo ‘24 winner. Looking forwards to seeing Mrs Pertwee and the wee man at some point.

      Thank you!!

      I am going to start on the farm itself soon, based on the Townscape one, but I will be making it more like farms from WFRP, so with outbuildings and a wall and what not.
      It will be an ambitious model for my 3rd ever build, but I want to make it seem more 'real'.

      I also need to source a figure for his wyf.

      Good idea. You’d need somewhere to offer some protection to your family and stock on the wilder fringes. Reminds me of an old walled farmhouse I visited in Styria years ago. One smallish gate leading into a central courtyard. Stables and rooms for tools and supplies on the ground floor with the people living upstairs. Windows on the second floor only. Designed to deter raiders rather than as a proper strongpoint.

      That sounds cool.
      Any photos of it?

      Sadly not. However, with a bit of searching I found the website for the Bauern Technik Museum. Lots of photos there and while the main building itself is not the focus, there are some that will give you a good impression. It’s larger than I remember it and there are ground floor windows, albeit small ones.

Warm Ale and Mud

I am going to try a blog. I do have a website that shows my Warm Ale and Mud stuff: https://angelbarracks.co.uk/ However it does not have a comments section so I thought maybe I would give here a go and see how it pans out. So what is this Warm Ale and Mud all about? I am playing Warhammer Fantasy Battle 3rd edition and I am building the village of Heiligsheld and its surrounds. It is a homebrew village/locale set in Stirland . Once I have enough of the places modelled, buildings, scenery and the people that live there, I will begin to tell stories about the village. These will be played out as games and then published here. We will learn how the village got its name, why it is not on any Imperial maps, how Fraulein Pfiezel came to have what appears to the skull of a beastman on her door, why Otto Klept spends most of his time in the pillory, and much more. It will be almost like a collection of short stories about the village told and modelled in miniature form. The soldiers garriso...

  ERZATSOLDER The most versatile of all the imperial soldiers, the humble swordsman. They are led by Karl Raspe who is a distant relation of Count Halven. A veteran of campaigns in Tilea he thinks himself a bit fancy and cultured. He even claims to have visited Lustria and far off Cathay. He is proud of his moustache. The banner is carried by Adolphus and shows the crest of the Halven family who rule the village of Heiligsheld. This banner is significant as when taken into battle, holy relics are hung from it. They are the last remains of  Imre Jenz, the person from whom the village got its current name. He died in 2155 defending what is now an old ruined shrine off in the forest from followers of chaos. The unit has a couple of Martyn Hauer’s old mercenary lads in it, one of which has a brother in the Armbrustschutzen led by ‘Short’ Basil. At the rear is Heinrich the units musician. When roused his pipes let forth a terrible wailing that puts fear into friend and foe alike.
