New prepainted Floors & Walls!

Hi to everyone

Today we are presenting a new system of floors and walls, made in resin, and prepainted.
This system allows the creation of corridors and rooms of various shapes and dimensions.The walls do not need any support to keep upright and be combined to form corridors and rooms, big and small.

(Miniatures by Zealot Miniatures)
The use of (male) pins on the whole side of the walls allow them to be safely positioned and interlocked with other pieces for great results.

All pieces are already prepainted and ready to be placed on the gaming table.
Floors and walls alike are printed on both sides.
The Floors have a side with a classical stone flooring, and another with a sewer canals. They have also 2 smaller floor pieces which allow to create various kind of sewer shapes.

All is prepainted and ready to play.
In the next article we will discuss a bit more about the purchasable articles and kits and their prices.

Until next.

Update 19 – Forgotten Halls – New Modular Floor design

Hi to everyone!

It’s time to present our new and final design for our Forgotten Halls Modular Floors.
The version you are familiar with is the following.

You probably thought “it’s cool, but it doesn’t look finished”.
Indeed, you were right.
We can now unveil the last design of our floors.
It changes fully aspect and becomes even more dynamic.

Now the design is similar to sewer channels, whereas before it was completely empty.
The dynamical inserts become much more important, and by swapping their positions on the floor, a thousand different combinations open up!

The images show in detail most of the possibilities.
But let’s come back to our dynamic inserts for our floors:
As of now you can see and taste the ones with a cobblestone effect … but imagine what could be on the other side …
Indeed, with our “Forgotten Halls” system, you will be able to get from the beginning 3 new effects of floor design!
1 – sewers.
2 – stone floors
3 – … we can’t reveal this one yet!
But we assure you that you will be amazed by it!

This is all for now.
Until next,

Lorenzo & David.

Kickstarter Zealot Miniatures & Manorhouse Workshop Terrain # 2

Hi to everyone!

We are now continuing to present the new miniatures of Zealot’s Miniatures Kickstarter on our terrain kits.
After showing them on our 3D Bases, we are now presenting them on our Forgotten Halls walls.
We are also using this occasion to show you our definitive version of our dynamic floors.
But we will speak about them in our next article.

Those Zealot Miniatures, like we said in our first article, remember us of the old-school design of the 80’s, but with quite a modern touch.
The following 10 miniatures (pictures taken from the Kickstarter page) indeed remind us a bit about the HeroQuest heroes.

So a dungeon is a perfect set-up to make them shine in their whole splendor.

Of course, an image is worth more than a thousand words, so give you more images to look at and share to you the link where you will be able to follow the last days of the Zealot Miniatures Kickstarter.

Cheers from Lorenzo & David.

Kickstarter Zealot Miniatures & Manorhouse Workshop Terrain!

Hi to everyone,

As promised, we are now showing you an article dedicated to the collaboration with another company we hold dear.
We are talking about the excellent pieces of Zealot Miniatures.
We did receive last week a package from the UK and inside were 8 gorgeous miniatures, cast in resin.
David and I were impressed by the quality of the product, even though this is nothing new, coming from Zealot.
In the past, we already did a collaboration with them showing their spectacular dungeons goodies of their first Kickstarter (Twisted Catacombs), teaming them up with our rooms of our “Forgotten Halls” project.

Let’s get more into specifics: those 8 miniatures Zealot send us are related to a new Kickstarter, already under way, about fantasy miniatures for dungeons.
Unlike their precedent 2 Kickstarters, the stamps are not made by computer digitally but by hand, by the sculptor “Boris Woloszyn”.
Well … let’s just say that looking at those miniatures brought me back to the 80’s, but with a way more clean and modern look, which definitively catches the eye.
Even the production options the Kickstarter gives you is a wink to the past: you can choose the miniatures to be cast in White Metal (classic but old-style), in standard Resin, or Premium Resin (last-generation resin very resistant and still quite flexible).

As soon as we received the miniatures we couldn’t resist and thus placed them on one of our “3D Bases”.
The overall result is just great, they do fit perfectly!
We are sure Zealot’s new Kickstarter will be yet another success.

To know more about it go directly on the Kickstarter page of Zealot Miniatures.

Cheers from Lorenzo & David

Here we go again!

Hi to everyone.
It’s been nearly a year I didn’t publish anything or give any news.
I must admit 2017 and a good part of 2018 was quite harsh, and I can say, even dramatic, for me.
I don’t want however to bore you with tedious explanations.
Now, we’re at the start of October and I can say that these last 2 years are behind me, with a somewhat positive outcome.
I am not speaking of the overall’s company outcome, but the health one.
I never lost my positive thinking, which allowed me in the past to overcome many difficulties.
So to happy thinking and to excellent surgeons it is!
In this year of silence even the work helped me a lot.
It allowed me to go forward and project a lot of cool stuff we will publish in the future.
Keep your mind busy is the best of medicines, I can assure you.
The next medicine is keep in contact with people.
And indeed the first article we will write again is dedicated to a long-time collaboration which has been going on for years now.
Big thanks to all of you who follow my blog, and to all who were close to me in this last difficult period.

Until next, Lorenzo.

Update 18 – Forgotten Halls – New accessories shown at Essen!

Hi to everyone.

Back from Essen, where David presented in a first sneak peak some of the accessories which will be added as Stretch Goals in our next Forgotten Hall KS campaign.
Not everyone could be there however, so we’ve decided to show you what it was about. 🙂

What you will see will allow you to increase tenfold the possibilities and potentialities of your dungeons, buildings, castles, and towers created with our product!!!

We are talking about Stone Stairs.
Now you are surely thinking “but didn’t MHW already showed those in the box Eerie Silence ?”
In a way we did, but the one we’re unveiling now is much more narrow, allowing you to use them even in corridors without blocking the way!
Of course, those new stairs will still allow 25mm wide base miniatures to be put on the steps, without any issue!

This is a simple idea, but with enormous potential.
With a bigger stair, you can go up and down, but if put inside a corridor, you have no choice but to use the stairs.
Here with the more narrow stairs, you can decide if to use the stairs, or proceed forward.
Imagine your soldiers invading a castle and fighting on a corridor, some of them trying to fend off the enemy soldiers coming down from above (from the stairs) while the rest just continue on the side, towards the door at the end of the corridor, where the throne room and the opposing ruler with his king guards awaits.

There are countless uses for this new piece, and we’re sure you’ll find a lot on your own!
More narrow and sleek pieces make up also for an even more beautiful scene.

Of course, to complete the piece, you will need also some new floors and new balustrades.

You can go further …
Just combine big and small stairs, for amazing results!
Here the big stairs are used to create huge pathways while the smaller ones are used to move inside the corridors!

All the best. Lorenzo

Forgotten Halls and NoLands Comics at Essen!

We kept this a bit under wrap for weeks, but Manorhouse Workshop will be at the Essen Fair (26 October to 29 October)!

We will be presenting our Forgotten Halls project, so that you can see first hand our prototype and also some new exciting pieces that will be unveiled only at Essen!

To illustrate the contents perfectly, nothing’s better than a quick
video, which shows the huge amount of pieces contained in both boxes.

That’s right, all in all, the number of pieces of Beyond the Door &
Eerie Silence number 299!
This is without counting quite a good number of pins to connect safely
and perfectly all our pieces.

For this fair, we will be teaming up with another great company, the NoLands Comics
The NoLands Comics / Manorhouse Workshop booth will be 6J118 in Hall 6.

NoLands Comics is a company present at all major fairs, with their own lines of amazing Fantasy Comics and Roleplaying material.

For Essen, they’re also presenting their first brand new board game, called Total Party Kill!
The creator is none other than my own collaborator (David Destefanis), and he will be there to represent both companies.

Total Party Kill is a fast paced and merciless game, where 2 to 4 players build and level up their parties of Heroes, recruit Mercenaries, use Spells and Artifacts to fight and gain the upper hand on the other players, to explore and conquer dangerous Territories infested with Monsters.

Total Party Kill comes with 4 different faction decks, based on the NoLands comic world, and has a total of 200 cards (+ tokens). All cards can be used in various ways, from generating resources to be played normally on table.

See you at Essen!
