AW is a licensed trader for "HirstArts" producers of high quality stone and resin moldings from which we make kits as well as finished buildings, Inns, Watchtowers, Temples, Keeps, Castles and mighty fortresses for Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, Dragons, Vampires, Tomb-Kings and all other sections of the undead community.

Antenociti's Workshop is based in Shropshire, one of England's most beautiful and unspoiled counties. Surrounded by Iron-age hill forts such as Caer Gurion, ancient Roman fortress cities such as Viriconium and based in the medieval town of Shrewsbury, we can't help but being drawn to making beautiful and interesting scenery....

The Workshop has been producing commercial and non-commercial scenery for over 20 years and has extensive experience with a wide range of modeling materials and a huge variety of designs for many types of wargame.

A question of scale.
With many models for gaming and display there is a degree of non-scale 'condensing' that is inevitable. An average house made to exactly the same scale as a figure standing alongside would dwarf it. The 'art' is to reduce the overall bulk of the building while maintaining a credible 'look'. How far this process is taken depends on what you want the model for.

What are the models made of?
A wide variety of traditional and modern materials is used to get the optimum appearance and strength. The basic material used for supporting walls is either wood, Herculite Stone, "Fome-Cor" board, plastic or Resin. Metal is used occasionally for hinges and axles and in sheet form for some very specialised projects.

Landscaping materials include a very wide variety of natural products from the United Kingdom, Europe and India including Sisal, sticks from various shrubs and trees, Moss, lichens, cork, pumice stone, horse hair, fruit stones, wood chips & barks and many others.

How strong or fragile are the models?
We design most things to be robust enough for sensible wargaming. For example, structures are well braced and delicate elements either reinforced with stronger woods or carefully positioned to be protected by another part of the model. So if your model accidentally gets knocked it should be OK.

What sort of prices do you charge?
It depends on what you want made. Most pieces involve many hours of painstaking craftsmanship so cannot realistically be cheap in price. The amount of detail is what governs the price of a model, far more than the scale or overall size. I'm always happy to discuss a project you might have in mind and give you an estimate of cost.

What about delivery?
For overseas customers secure packaging and carriage will need to be arranged, which will be charged at cost. UK customers may often be able to save this cost by arranging to collect their model.
