Mytharth characters.

Time for another visit to the fantasy world of Myarth. 

Vaan the Barbarian 

Vaan hails from the barbarian lands and is in the barbarian warband of the Sorceress of Eagle Mountain. I plan on using this figure in my Frostgrave games. The figure is a Barbarian Queen by Copplestone Miniatures. 

Invisas Univasitas

The largest city on the world of Mytharth is Lienad. One of the reasons this city holds so much power is the Invisas Univasitas - the Wizard University. Having so many spell casters on hand has stopped neighbouring cities and countries from attempting to sack the city. 

The Invisas Univasitas is Mytharth’s only wizard school and many of it’s members live on campus. The pointed wizard hat is a symbol of wizard office and only worn by wizards of the school. There is no standard style to the hat and they are as often as different as the wizards. 

Wizards don’t always get on and while bickering is common there are serious rivalries in the University.

Susliad the Pink is a senior wizard from Invisas univasitas. He is currently searching the magical ruins with his apprentice Harry Wotsazname looking for spells and riches. He is currently hiring mercenaries to assist his work in the ruins. Susliad the Pink is by Copplestone Castings. 

Dewin Glas the blue is a senior wizard from Invisas Univasitas. He is currently searching the magical ruins looking for spells and riches. He is currently looking to hire an apprentice and mercenaries to assist his work in the ruins. Dewin Glas has a long lasting rivalry with Susliad and will do anything to beat him. Dewin Glas is by Copplestone Castings. 

Marwoleth is a untrained wizard interested in necromancy. He has recently been recruited as apprentice by Skullator. They are headed to the magical ruins in search of loot. Marwoleth is by Copplestone Castings. 

Harry Wotsazname is a student at Invisas univasitas. He has been recruited by Susliad the pink as an apprentice. Harry Wotsazname is by Copplestone Castings. 

This gold chest is an objective for my fantasy games. It is made by Northstar games from the Frostgrave line.

It has taken a while to get these finished. Life has kept me busy. 

Stay healthy and safe out there. Thanks for reading. 

Mytharth

Hello and welcome back to my hobby blog. 

Now for something completely different.

During the dying weeks of 2019 I have been thinking more and more about a fantasy setting, which is weird as Fantasy has done nothing for me (hobbywise) for at least 3 decades. In some respects this may be my desire to paint figures in something other than the usual blacks, greys, drab green and browns that seem to be a staple in the post apocalyptic genre. 

The idea is to collect random fantasy figures and fit them into my own setting. I started by picking up the Frostgrave rulebook (as usual years late to the party) and strangely I enjoyed the fluff. Admittedly battling warbands in ancient ruins hell bent on grabbing as much loot as they can is very similar to some of the Post apocalyptic games I like. 

There was some debate scale wise. 15mm is far cheaper and is easier to store. 28mm offers a lot more variety figure wise and my current figure collection can be raided for all manner of critters. Deep in my figure store there lies some treasures from the late 80’s which I expect may need repainting but it will be nice to see them on the table again. 

The fantasy world is called “Mytharth”. I am not expecting this to be the usual Lord of the rings clone jaunt. Apart from Frostgrave, my main inspirations are Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, The age of Hyboria/Conan, Shriek and Mythology. Like Mattblackgod’s World this will be a whole world setting. I am resisting the temptation to start a blog purely for this but then Wild Galaxy and Blood & Fire use this blog too. Best keep it all in one place. 

Initially I will start by using figures already in my collection to make some Frostgrave warbands. I should try and get some terrain built for it too. Plus I may start looking into making a Wizard faction. Then I will be creating and inventing in my usual haphazard manner collecting figures that grab my imagination. 

Thanks for reading

Stay safe out there.
