About the Project
I recently printed a few slums buildings and I immediately thought of the shades. I generally make enough terrain to fill a 6x4 , but how would it go if properly focused on a 2x2 or 3x3 fantasy city street scene. Then I recalled an old Osprey game called Kobolds and Cobblestones. I reckon it's time to have a good nose through my fantasy prints and have a look at Knucklebones miniatures again.

The New Big House
I sourced a new centerpiece building and after a week or so of printing I am pleased to present the new Big House
The inside of this building has lots of space for playability, you could probably run a whole game in it. I am planning to add a little bit of furniture .
More buildings...
With the advent of The Guards of Traitors’ Toll, I realised everything I was making for this game would pretty much fit into Traitors Toll as well. Then I saw the preview of the buildings they were releasing, lovely, but ‘ow much!
For the princely sum of £11 I picked up some slightly whimsical medieval town house STL files
As I was painting a bunch of these buildings I had a rummage through my unpainted terrain boxes and found some medieval fantasy bits and bobs, stuff I could experiment with colour schemes on. Even found a windmill. Not really city appropriate, but while I am painting…why not?
I decided to move the ‘big house’ ,as I call it, out of this project and into my drowned earth project instead. Instead I plan to build a couple of other centre piece buildings . I am also looking at a couple of shops potentially
Made a little more progress on the town houses. I also found a range of slum houses that fit perfectly between the town houses and the ‘Shades Shacks’.
Just a wash and drybrushing to go
Finally completed the first townhouse, just nine more to go!
Rogues Gallery
I’m not convinced my miniature painting skills are worth showcasing like this as I am more of an army painter really. But here goes …
A couple of Frostgrave kitbashes and someone running late for a date from Eureka miniatures 
A thief from Otherworld, might repaint this, a Frostgrave Merc and a leaning ruffian from Eureka Still some work to do on basing. I definitely need to give the ruffian something to lean on! Very tempted to strip the paint off of the thief and use a colour card for a paint scheme to work to. It’s a really nice mini and I don’t think I have done it justice.
A couple more Frostgrave ladies with an Oathmark elf
An Otherworld courtesan flanked by a couple of Frostgrave warrior women.
An Oathmark kitbash, a crazy old man from Otherworld and a Frostgrave archer 
A couple of Otherworld miniatures and a resin print, love the old biddy with the rolling pin
A trio of Eureka shades dwellers, who won't look out of place in Silver Bayonet either
Two Frostgrave kitbashes flanking a Zenit miniatures orphan.
More miniatures from Eureka 
Various matriarchal figures from Otherworld The Big House
The makers of the slum set added a new building to the range. A bit of a town hall of sorts , it’s only after I printed the first piece that I realised how big this thing was going to be.
I had two Bambu labs P1Ps going flat out for just over a week.Still have no idea where I am going to store it.
Painting Update
Started slapping some contrast paints on the assorted miniatures, painting them with a view to looking like denizens of Ankh-Morpork. Lobbed in some half painted Frostgrave minis too.
What's in a name?
Given this name generator clocks in at 33 pages I decided a pdf would be better than showing all the details in project.
The first table creates a list of which name tables to roll on . It can give titles, nicknames, first names and surnames.
There are 199 male and female first names, 100 title and 100 nicknames and 800 surnames to go at , so there’s not much risk of two of your gangers having the same name.
Miniatures phase 1
Having avoided printing any miniatures for the time being. I set about priming and drybrushing the metal miniatures I have accumulated.
