In 2018 Wargamer Games Studio launched a Kickstarter for Anno Domini 1666. Essentially this is a skirmish and espionage game played on a board. It’s a largely historical game set in Vienna with some fantasy elements added in the expansions.

During the Kickstarter I took the all-in pledge. Once the pledge manager came online an even bigger all-pledge became available and off course I bought it. Then I waited. For a year and a half. And then… it arrived:

Introduction

The game contains the following factions:

  • Represented by the Royal Musketeers, including d’Artagnan, Portos, Aramis and Athos.
  • Poland
  • The Ottoman Empire
  • The Broken Cross (an evil sect)
  • Spain
  • Cossacks
  • Monster hunters
  • Monsters
  • Magical beings (eg. a succubus)
  • “The locals.” These are tugs, thieves, guards and other inhabitants of Vienna.
  • The Cardinals Guard (from Cardinal de Richelieu)
  • The werewolf

I don’t know how many miniatures there are in total, but I suspect close to a hundred.

Project goals

  1. I want to do these very nice miniatures justice and will try to paint them to a higher standard then I usually do.
  2. As historically accurate as possible.
  3. Try out new techniques such as zenithal priming and glazing
