Currently there are three sets of Vlätkrig Fantasy Paper Minis being actively worked on at various states of development, the Eotnas Helawort, The Rangers of Hölavej and 'The Raven Coven'.
This is something of a companion set to the Vackreth Deorghast, consisting of large wooden magical contructs, or zoomorphic Ents / Treant type creatures, based on traditional British / European 'game', or animals that are hunted for sport. Inspired by the Ents of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, the anglo-saxon herbals and Robert Holdstocks Mythago Wood.
As with the Vackreth Deorghast, some proceeds from the sale of set will go to an animal welfare charity.
The set will contain 6 individual Eotnas Helawört:
Eotnas Helawört will also contain a sheet of Clochán an Aifir inspired hexagonal béton-brut scatter terrain.
Stage: Ideas and Sketches
A Mid/Low level, over-burdened adventuring party featuring members of Gnörf, Köbling, Haemogoblin and Gáldaethra, and perhaps some new types (probably Orcneas or Dökkálfar ), all with elements of uniform costume or accoutrements. Inspired by Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring as the eponymous company leave Lothlórien , as a mythological mirror to world war one trench warfare, along with Terry Pratchett's The Watch (Guard Guards et. al.), Gary Chalk and Joe Dever's Order of the Kai from the Lone Wolf Series and various 1980's Dungeon Adventurer Starter Set miniatures.
A 'druidic' / nordic magical cult, featuring Gnörf, Köbling, Haemogoblin and Gáldaethra members. Themed magic-user types that can be added to the other sets as an additional 'character class' or as a wizard for a warband / army. There will be 13 figures, probably one male and female of each, and in the case of the Galdethra, two female, which leaves five others which might be new creatures (probably Orcneas or Dökkálfar ). Inspired in part by the pseudo-historical Witch Cult of Margaret Murray and its fakelore derivatives, and contemporary historical understanding of Norse magic (seiðr), especially Neil Price's The Viking Way.
Stage: Ideas
Also loose ideas for ranged weapons sets for the Gnorf, Kobling, Haemogoblin and Galdaethra sets...
Meanwhile the current sets are still to be expanded.
