(198X) Factbook serialization, part 1

I figure a good way of kicking myself in the ass on the factbook is "serializing" it here. Not quite the whole thing, since this is only lore entries and illustrations (the main part, but not the w...

(Firelock Fantasy) Confederate Arms

A progression of infantry equipment over nearly two centuries.

If I did a black powder Firelock wargame, I'd divide factional rosters into smaller era-subsets. Think Medieval 2: Total War; d...

(Reupload) Gate Guard Sketch

Apparently I am developing schizophrenia because I swore this uploaded last month as usual.

Here's a pen sketch I did on gate guard in July during AT. Little hairy working straight from pen ...

(198X) Short-Timer

A little something to tide you over while I'm away doing tank gunnery. This piece has been posted for a little while, but I figured I'd discuss it in some detail.

The depicted man is a "shor...

(198X) Factbook entries, pt. 2

More from the factbook. These are without illustrations for now; that's been on the backburner in favor of writing. (Not quite three-quarters done and it's already more than a hundred pages of entr...

(198X) Hi-Lo Mix

A brief interlude from writing factbook entries.

You may be wondering where I've been this month--well, 85 pages into the factbook, and something like two-thirds done with the text (illustrat...

(WIP) Federal factbook header

While it's raining here, I've been working on art for the factbook: visual headers for each faction capturing some essential moment in life in a "photographic" format. Here, John Federalman walks d...

Pen tests and photography

May has been a pretty productive month for me thus far. Lots of new factbook entries and some more illustrations for them, mostly. For the time being I'm holding off on showing you those; my scanne...

(198X Update) 0.9.5 and Rygo/Santi books

The man-machines of the New Rygolic Host and the nuclear knights of the Atom Barons of Santagria are now ready for play in Firelock 198X.

(198X) Factbook entries

I've mentioned a few times before that one of the things I want to bundle alongside the army books, for 1.0, is a CIA World Atlas-style publication full of lore entries: a sort of catchall for anyt...

(Firelock Fantasy) Dip Pens, continued

More fun with a dip pen. I'm getting a little better at these; for starters, I stopped spilling blobs of ink off the nib onto nearly-finished pieces. Compared to the first lupar I drew last month, ...

(Firelock Fantasy) Dip Pen Dogface

Trying out a dip pen for the first time with my usual subject matter.

Using an extra fine tip on a random Speedball pen I picked up from Michael's earlier today. No real idea what I'm doing* ...

(198X) Tenant Officers

The last scenario unit for the Santagrines: just before the book is out.

With all of the major writing, art assets, and structural work already done on the next two army books I figured I'd e...

(WIP) World Map

"All of Oid by force of arms..."

Blank work in progress. If you've been hanging around on Discord you may well know that I'm busy writing a sort of CIA World Atlas-style setting factbook to g...

(198X) Santagrine Scenario Units

Yet more release bonuses, this time for the Santagrines.

You may notice there are only two here (compared to the three for Feds and Lupes): I haven't quite settled on the third yet, truthfull...

(198X) Federal Scenario Unit Standees

Standees for the prior-posted Federal scenario units (armed citizens, private security, and the civilian Veldjen). In case you missed those, 2025-03-07 08:12:34 +0000 UTC View Post

(198X) Corpses and Husks

Replacements for the TTS module's placeholder corpse and vehicle/aircraft husk tokens. These are used as markers for dead units, serving a mainly aesthetic purpose with the occasional mechanical im...

(198X) Federal Scenario Units

Some more release bonuses, this time for the Feds.

No standees for these--haven't gotten to them yet, but I figured I'd post the inkwork for the time being.

(N.B. -- miswrote HEAT in th...

(Firelock Fantasy) Santagrine Grenadier

The Army of the Commonwealth, while composed of hardened veterans and professionals, was by the time of the Secession an antiquated force; still reliant on a core of armored pikemen and heavy caval...

(WIP) Rygo standees

New Rygolic Host standees pre-scanning.

Not everything is ready for direct scanning and coloring. Some vehicles (e.g. the Candor and X-Ray) are presented in pieces, to be digitally reassemble...

(198X) Lupar Scenario Units

Here's some that I don't intend to post in advance; if you're not here, they'll be a surprise inclusion come 1.0.

As you may already know, the New Rygolic Host's army book includes three "bon...

(198X) Santagrine Vehicle Standees

All the armor, support vehicles, and towed guns of the Atom Barons of Santagria. Aircraft to follow.

(198X) Santagrine Infantry Standees

All the dismounted troops of the Atom Barons of Santagria. Vehicles and aircraft to follow.

(198X) Full-Color Splashes

Every factional army book in Firelock 198X has splash art pages interspersed throughout--around four or five per book, complementing the text-based supplementary lore pages and minor illustrations ...

(WIP) Painting Guide Guys

All of the four army books will include, as an appendix, a painting guide depicting some of their forces in full color and advising on small details. The intent is to aid in painting kitbashed mini...
