Anno Domini 1666
Introduction
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:
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
- I want to do these very nice miniatures justice and will try to paint them to a higher standard then I usually do.
- As historically accurate as possible.
- Try out new techniques such as zenithal priming and glazing
