The Pertwee Farmhouse

 The farmhouse belonging to Johannes and Hansine Pertwee is the largest of the farms in Heiligsheld.


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.

Now the farmhouse is home to the Pertwee’s and Uli the Dwarf who is their hired helped.

The farm is surrounded by fields of crops and grazing land for the sheep.

Despite being from other parts and being new to the village, the locals have for the most part taken them in as their own, though a few whisper about the night of the werewolf attack and comment on how Johannes survived but the werewolves bodies were never found, only the bodies of the previous owners, burnt in the barn fire.

Still what would a village be without some idle gossip eh.

This is my third attempt at scratch-building one of Warhammer Townscape buildings and I am quite pleased with this.

It is of course based on the townscape Farmhouse.
But the astute may notice a few differences, the major one being the placement of the main doors.
They are on the other side in my version.

Why?
Well sort of an accident, I have Terror of the Lichemaster and in there is a floorplan of the farmhouse which I was looking at whilst I made the shell.
On that floorplan the doors are as I made them here, so I just copied the floorplan rather than copy the card model.







It was a sort of accident, but at the same time I preferred this layout as it gives me a sort of porch / entry area in which to add bits and bobs. Had the door been on the other side, I feel this would have been harder.

So yeah here it is with added set dressing.
Big thanks to “Slaves to Darkness”, an oldhammer forum member who gifted me the farming implements you see dotted around.

    1. Cheers, it sure a heck took a while but when I have a table full of such terrain and stuff I am sure the effect will be worth it!

  2. At first it looks like a normal farmhouse, but after reading the story I get an eerie feeling from it. Who knows what goes on behind these closed doors.
