Wars of Beleriand 

The Silmarillion Wargame. 

Or is it the Silmarillion board game?


Anyway, tweaking and testing continues, but it's done in all its essentials and then some. Been trying out some different chrome-ish bits lately to spice up combat, but it's really just cosmetics and theme at this point and could be wholly abandoned without any significant effects on the whole.


The pic above here...One planned map edit is to take that Northward kink out of the Narog near Nan-Tathren. Should dip South. There WAS a reason earlier for it to kink North that way, but I can't remember what it was...something in the text, I think.

And here below:
This is a HIGHLY unusual and rare occurrence: a Silmaril laying unclaimed out in the open just outside Eithel Sirion.
Many heroes and villains died terrible deaths to make this possible...

"Elkton Bridgehead"

14" x 12"
watercolor on paper


This title is a misnomer. The term "bridgehead" implies strategic significance and that's just simply untrue in this case. :)
