Dark Age Village — Terrain and Villagers | 28 mm

Edit: If you're only interested in the villagers, you can find them available separately in my store!

Bring your tabletop village to life with five different houses, a small church, a fortified tower, villagers and an old oak tree. Created for my own Dark Age games, this collection provides a setting for village raids, skirmishes and battles with your 28 mm miniatures.

This project took me about a month to put together. It started with a simple goal: I wanted a village to go with my new Victrix Carolingian Franks! I’m an amateur hobbyist, and the collection isn’t perfect, but I’m pleased with the results and happy to share the models I made for my own gaming table.

All the money will go to buy books and boardgame (even some wargames) to my classroom, I'm a teacher in a low-income school district. Thank you!

The collection includes:

• Five houses in different architectural styles.
• A pigsty / pig shelter
• A fortified tower (castrum)
• An optional motte
• A small church.
• An old, leafless oak tree for the village centre.
• A selection of villagers, intended for resin printing
• Fortifications and Entrance Tower

The buildings draw inspiration from Frankish, Saxon and broader early medieval settings, with pronounced wood, stone and roofing textures that remain visible at gaming scale.

Printing information — please read

I print my terrain on a Bambu Lab FDM printer using tree supports. These models require supports, so please plan for support removal and some cleanup after printing. The photographs show examples of my own prints.

Resin printing is recommended for the villagers to capture their smaller details. Printer settings, orientation and support placement should be adjusted to your own setup.

The buildings are supplied in separate sections for printing and assembly: some with pegs (so you can place minis inside) other parts must be glued. Some part (with "reverse" tag in the name) should be print upside_down. You can use the tower with the included motte or place it on your own foam terrain.

This is a digital (obj) collection for 3D printing. No physical models are included.
