3D Printed Battlefields off to Victorius 2024

Victorius 2024

This August the Nunawading Wargames Association is hosting their reinvented, reinvigorated tabletop wargames show Victorius. Hosted at the Box Hill Town Hall (in Melbourne, Australia) this event promises to be huge. There will be tournaments, trade stands, and loads of demonstration games covering wargames of all varieties. If you’ve never been to a wargaming convention we strongly suggest you check it out, its a fantastic way to meet other hobbyists, try out new games and to add to your collection.

We were asked if we would like to join in and have put together these 3D printed battlefields for the event from our King and Country range.

The Country Village

Our first of the 3D printed battlefields is the Country Village. This setup is great for just about any historical or fantasy wargame. Featuring the large Norman Church as the centerpiece, there are two homesteads. One contains a barn, walled fields a couple of outbuildings and the Longhouse for which the farming family would live in. The other homestead contains three cottages and 2 stone barns for livestock to live out the winter months. Separating them all is the iconic bocage, providing light cover and obstacles to line-of-sight. Each homestead and the church provides strategic objectives for troops to occupy and control, perfect for games like Flames of War, Saga, Napoleonics, Glory is Fleeting, The Baron’s War, Age of Sigmar and many others.

Welcome to Kingstown

The other of our 3D printed battlefields has been dubbed Kingstown and has enough structures to fill out a detailed gaming table. Around the central “square” sit the large conjoined buildings of fleabottom slums, Stonestreet bakers, Blackrock barracks, Kings Stables, The Stone Fort and Keep, and the Square Keep. Filling out the rest of the board is the Stone Manor, Hollyhock Cottages, and plenty of stone fences and bocage to denote property boundaries. This example of 3D printed battlefields will make for exciting and tense urban games, as you create dead-ends and traps between buildings and occupy them to provide fields of fire. This battlefield is excellent for games like Mordheim, Age of Sigmar, Frostgrave, Flames of War, Saga, Napoleonics, and The Baron’s War.

What’s Next?

There are of course many more models from the range you could add but these will give you a great collection you can interchange between games to create different 3D printed battlefields. You could add more farmland to the village with Haystacks, Chicken Huts, and Pig Pen. Whilst you can add fortifications and the King’s Quarters to Kingstown, or flesh out the slums with a variety of Shanties.
