At (very) long last, the High Elf House & Tower is now available for download for home printing! Bring a little bit of Ulthuan to your tabletop....
£ Based on the architecture of high elf buildings from Ulthuan in the lost Warhammer world, this house is an elegant multilevel mansion suitable for gaming terrain and RPG players.
The front of the house has a flight of simple stone steps up to the interior.....
£ ... while the back of the house has this picturesque balcony on the second level, with a simple stone bench beneath it - for composing poetry or whatever groovy thing those high elves do in their free time?!
£ The tower joins on to the house on the second level, by means of an ornate bridge, but also extends up to a third level for secret wizarding stuff.
£ I just had to share this pretty pic, of the finished and painted house posed on my waterfall board (modelled after the old Dark Omen videogame), against a suitably Ulthuan-like vista of sparkling mountains.
Surely the perfect weekend getaway for magical heavyweights like Teclis, here!
£ A close-up of the front steps and door, and the ornate windows and runic script. The steps have smooth tops but textured stone sides, and lead naturally up into that massive double door - which is also duplicated on the inside.
The model has been designed to hide the join lines between floors as much as possible, and the interior is completely playable.
£ With the roof (and tower's 3rd floor) removed, you can see the interior details. A carved spiral staircase leads up into the upper level's mezzanine floor, which opens out to the tower's bridge on one side and the rear balcony on the other.
The tower just has simple trapdoors between floors, but I guess you could print another spiral staircase if you think high elves are too good for pull down ladders?!
£ With the second level removed, you can see the living quarters of the lower level. No windows here - just that enormous door!
£ A close-up of the rear 'meditation space' beneath the balcony. Elven runes are carved into the bench and stone flooring.
Please note that the printed model is not textured on the walls - this was a stone effect spray I added later!
The High Elf House & Tower is available for download today!
