Black Thorn Keep & Tower of Sorrows

Hello friends!
Welcome to a new month and brand new theme that we haven't visited before: The Dark Kin Elves. This month's release will be the outpost of Black Thorn Keep and the Tower of Sorrows.

I've had a pretty productive start and have made good headway with the main building and Tower. I've still got a lot to do, with the interior and additional details to finish off the buildings.
We will also continue to make some new minis to go with the terrain! I hope to be able to sho...

Temple Guardians

Hello friends!
Final release for February! The Temple Guardians are here to trim and cut the gardens of the temple with their swords and spears!

The Guardians pack has been added to the February library.

As we close off another month, I have already begun to get the concepts for the Dark Elves outpost. I should have something up by the end of the week!

I'm looking at the release schedule and it appears we are nearing the end of the current season! So, for this month, I ...

More temples added!

Hello folks!
as well come to the end of a unfortunately short month, we have just added the next instalment of temples, including the main complex. 

There is plenty of space to add foliage and plants to the main complex so you could just go wild with it!

I'm working on some concepts for next month's Dark Elf terrain, and will hopefully have something to show pretty soon!
Thank you all for another great month. Have a fantastic rest of the week, everyone!

Common Houses release!

Hello friends!
Just to let you know that this month's theme has begun to be sent out. We begin with the common houses, but we're not done yet! 

Next on the list will be the smaller temples, finishing off with the final main temple.

I will let you all know when we start sending out the temples

Thanks!

Welcome to the Garden Temples of Amytis

Hello friends!
Happy belated welcome to a brand new month with a brand new theme!

We're heading to the ancient Middle-Lands of Ur, or more specifically the Garden Temples of Amytis - an Oasis in the middle of this hospitable land.

Our theme for this month will be inspired by the ancient monuments from the middle-east and the surrounding areas.

We have the central Temple surrounded by towers and engineered waterways feeding the foliage. I have incorporated small trough...

Almost there!

Hello folks!
We're almost done with the Necropolis release. I will be running over about 2 days or so but the main mausoleum is almost done. But for now, the smaller mausoleums have been sent out!

Apologies for the late releases this month, we'll hopefully be back to normal next month!

Thanks

Necropolis part 1 released!

Hello friends!
I've finally been able to start sending this month's pack out. The first part includes gravestones, tombs, and sarcophaguses.

You will need to use paper clips as hinges for the tomb doors.

We still have the mausoleums, walls, and undead still to come, so it's going to be a hectic finish to the month!

I'll let everyone know when the next part has been sent out.

The invites should arrive to you by the end of today if not sooner. However, if you haven't...

Necropolis update!

Hello friends!

Apologies for the delay with the update!
I'm just about to begin texturing the terrain now and hope to begin shipping them all by the weekend! It's a pretty big set, but I thought you folks might need a few bits to fill up a necropolis-themed board or setting!

I will let you know when I begin sending out the invites, but it should be later in the week!

Thank you for your patience

New Year, new theme!

Happy New Year folks!
I hope everyone has recovered from their festivities! I've been working on blocking out the walls for the Necropolis. This month there will be modular walls and gateways, a few crypt coffins, gravestones, mausoleums, big and small! But also this month, I will be working on minis that will hopefully become a regular part of the releases each month - each linking to the month's theme!

I've been working on improving textures, so hopefully after a few test prints w...

Barrow-graves have been added to December

Hi folks!
I hope your festivities are going well (or soon to be!). I just have a little addition this week - barrows that may or may not contain treasured artefacts, or if you're unlucky a deathly spectre! 

I'll be in and out of the office for the next couple of weeks, but I hope to stay in touch as much as I can or is needed!

Have a great week, everyone!

Ruins of the Watchtower of Al-Karak Aldir

Hello friends!

I have finally been able to send out the set for the Watchtower Ruins!
You will find two versions - One with, and one without the hill. The one without the hill is a bit smaller, as it does not have the walkway around the tower.

MMF invites should have been sent out by now, but DTRPG invites are a bit delayed as the files are still uploading.

I have also sliced the set for 400, 300, and 200mm build plates. I don't think there's a big enough printer to hav...

Artist's Choice - The Ruined Watchtower of Al-Karak Adil

Hello friends!
I can't believe it's now December and an end to another great year here at Dark Realms - Thank you all for your support this year!

This month I'd like to introduce you to The Ruined Watchtower of Al-Karak Adil.
A hilltop outpost on the border of Arkenfel. Sitting on the Eastern fringes it looked out towards the lands of the Mumaluk Sultans and their Corsair allies.
Of course, you may have other uses for this centrepiece model!

I've still got a few more d...

Elven Update!

Hello folks!
thank you all for your patience. It's been a really challenging month as I've been out of the office and also working on something that's not really my strong point!

I'm happy with bricks, stone, and timber, but when it comes to organic modelling I'm always filled with doubts. That's what has unfortunately helped slowed me down as I have been continuously test printing my ideas.

I happy to say that I've got my head round what I need to do (mostly) and will be dro...

Return to the Woodland Realm

Greeting, friends!
My apologies for the late update for this month's theme. I have been working on a new set of trees, but needed to run test prints to see if my ideas for the canopy worked. I wanted to have a more "branchy" look to the canopy but I understand this could prove a challenge for FDM printers.

Suffice to say that the resin version came out well (pictured) but the FDM version needs a bit more tweaking and the leaves a bit bigger than the original.

The rendered lea...

New Buildings released!

Hey everyone!
It's been a really busy couple of weeks again as I worked on completed the final buildings for this month. I had a test print of the first two buildings done and will hopefully try to paint them up at some point in my downtime.

I'm going to gather the walkways from the buildings and have them as a separate download and add a couple of raised walkways and dead ends to round out the pack.

Next month we are heading into the forest and visiting the realm of the Wo...

Welcome to Mudifjord!

Hello folks!

Welcome to a new month and a (kind of) return to lake town! This month I'm working on an expansion to the current set of lake town models, but have developed more for our own world!

I had a really fun time working on this one, as I thought something that was missing from the previous releases was an under floor access for the boat docks. 

Now that I've got a proof of concept for the update, I can now go ahead and work on the rest  of this month's mod...

FINALLY! The main citadel has be released!

Hello folks!

Thank you all for your patience, but it's finally done! It has been a big challenge with the size of the thing and having things at different levels.

Unfortunately, due to the time it took to make this, I wasn't able to add rooms and passageways into the base itself. I'm going to work on the inner wall and try to get that done before we start on next month's project.

Thank you everyone for your support this month!

Ivory Citadel WIP

Hello folks!
I've spent the day finishing the Tower and walkway that is attached to the Hall, and had some time finalising the layout of the citadel. I'll be focussed on working this section next week, with the aim of having the Middle Wall done by the end of the month! Phew!

Suffice to say this has turned to be a mega-month of a release! It's looking to be 2022's version of Castle Dracul in scale!

Time to recharge my brain... Goodnight, all!

Part 1 released! Hall WiP

Hello friends!
I just wanted to post a quickie message to say that the smaller buildings have been released and invites sent out.
I'm also making good headway with the hall with the towers, inner walls and gate left to do - Check out the pics!

Right, now for the final push to get this done!

Inner Wall and Citadel WiP

Hello friends!
It's been a bit hectic here as I try to cram in so much as I work on the citadel!
I began to work on elements that would make up the wall and the citadel itself, that I thought perhaps making complete buildings would be better! So, although unplanned, this month's pack will include some buildings that you will be able to use to fill out the space in front of the inner wall.

I will be releasing these buildings first and invites should be sent out tomorrow. For the ...

Siege Defender's Trebuchet

Hey folks!

Just one last addition to August's Outer Wall release. No tower is complete in it's defence from pesky Orcs until you have these Trebuchets that are designed to fit onto the tall towers of your wall!

I'll be working on the block out for the Inner wall and Citadel this weekend. Hopefully we'll have something to show early next week!

Thank you all for the support last month! 

I'm going to take a quick break and respond to my email in my inbox! But I'll be...

Outer Wall release!

Hey folks!

The Outer Wall has been released! Please check your email for the invites from MMF or DTRPG.

If you have not yet received an invite, please let me know and I'll chase it up!

Thanks!

Arkenfel's Ivory Citadel: The First Wall

Hello friends!
It's finally here (almost!) I have completed the texturing and clean up. It's taken such a long time as I wanted to try to make the parts modular, but also try to figure a way to make it (kind of) storage friendly. The set up you see above can easily fill up a 2m board edge, but you can remove some of the wall sections for normal size tables! There is a straight wall version, too!

I need to run over the parts to make sure they fit onto the 200mm print plate, and do fin...

WIP Update

Hello folks!

Apologies for the late update. I've been busily working my way thought the texturing process of the walls. I just wanted to show an update and it's near completion! 

I hope to have the walls and gate done and released over this weekend. There will be 2 versions, a straight wall and a curved version. It will be modular so you can add extra sections to cover the length of your board as you wish. 

I'll be making another post when the invites are sent out....

Walls of the Ivory City blockout

Hello friends!
It's taken a while, but thank you for your patience. I've finally figured out how I wanted to design the first wall of the Ivory City. I wanted to make them Modular so that you can have them fit your board and keep out them pesky Orcs.

This first release will be focused on the wall and if possible war machines to fit onto the towers. The final look and feel will fit in with Arkenfel and there are opportunities for you to use existing Arkenfel terrain to play skirmish b...

Last models have been released for July!

Hello friends!

I have just uploaded the tiles for this month's theme to MMF and DTRPG. You should now be able to get shop 6 and the tiles from your respective library.

We've had a great month this month and I'm very happy how Vladistov has developed. Suffice to say I think we may have ruined versions of the new terrain at some point in the future!

Next month we are heading back to Arkenfel and its capital city. I'm still figuring out how to do the winding streets that lead ...

New Shops released!

Hello friends!

Just a quick update to let you know 2 more shops have been released this month! 

Hopefully invites should have been sent out!

Thanks!

First Vladistov buildings released!

Hello friends!

Thank you for your patience! I wanted to check the test prints first using the updated Fat Dragon Games Cura Profile with the new models to see how well they have come out.

I am happy to announce that the prints looked great as well as it looks like less infill was needed. I will post up the test prints soon, just need to give it an undercoat so that the details will show (used white PLA). 

In each pack you will find 3 versions -
Normal interior,

New Look Vladistov!

Hello folks! 

Welcome to a new month and the start of a new season! We're starting off with a new Vladistov expansion. I've developed the look of Vladistov a little, but we've still got the steep pitched roof and big stonework. 

Also for this month I would lie to try something new; I'm aiming for smaller buildings but for anyone wishing for a more versatile interior play, I will be doing a set of tiles that you can use to build up a bigger interior space. These will be d...
