In a few hours I will go to Florence, Italy with my parents on a short city trip. This means I won’t be blogging till monday since I’ll be too busy visiting the leaning tower of Pisa and all sorts of other cultural goodness. Anyhow, I am definately looking forward to the trip.

For my warband, I have some updates planned, but I haven’t had the time to write any proper posts yet. School seems to be getting the best of me lately :S.

Okay, I’m off to bed. See you in a few days, guys!

So this is where the fun begins, I actually started putting together my warband! I’ve included a few pictures of two Gor models I’ve been working on.

I figured Beastmen mostly live in the woods so I wanted to give them forest related bases. I’m not sure about my Warbands Chaos affiliation and which God they worship yet. I am thinking of either Nurgle or Slaanesh. This will also dictate my painting colour scheme so it’s something I have to decide on soon. Perhaps you can help me out here since I’m somewhat new to the whole world of Warhammer / tabletop wargaming.

Dear visitors,

Last weekend our group (except Koen), met up and worked on our Warbands. First off, my apologies for the quasi bad pictures, I am still finding out how the camera works best and I made some pretty decent pictures while some lack enough light (playing at night doesn’t help).
Vince made some great progress on his Beastmen. he has made some great bases and a very good looking Shaman.

Jerodar finished painting his warboss (Grimgor model),
Jerodars Big Boss
and I finally (semi-)finished my Questing with Great Weapon on foot.

Furthermore, Jerodar and I played a ‘campaign’ battle. This is our first campaign and is more a lot of random battles so we can learn the rules better. Check the Standing Stone Bar for the Battle report!

So why play Mordheim anyway?

Unlike the great loremaster Artinam, I have never played Warhammer before.
So what got me to play this game? Why would you, our dear reader, play it?

What attracted me the most was the fact that you take your characters with you to the next game.
Why would you pour your soul into making these great miniatures when they are just gonna be Soldier #163? In Mordheim, every single model will be a character of itself, even the grunts (well, most of the time). For example, my goblin warrior “Lucky” Skystabbah, earned his name by recklessly jumping down a 5 inch tower. And he didn’t just survive, he managed to make a lunging strike at the black skaven standing below, finishing him in one blow! Now these things motivate you to put just that much more effort into your miniatures, because what would you rather be painting? Soldier#163 or “Lucky” Skystabbah?

Hello, and welcome to our blog!

Mordheim is a strategic tabletop game developed by Games Workshop.

Recently we, a group of old time friends have (re)discovered it. We’ve started out by making a few cardboard buildings, an using some miniatures from Warhammer Fantasy.

Soon after we created our Warbands and started constructing terrain from various materials, we’ve set a goal for our ‘project’: to use as little as money as necessary while still trying to create some decent Mordheim terrain. In my opinion we pretty much succeeded in doing so.

This blog will soon be filled with more information on our warbands, the scenery we created and the campaign(s) we are going to run.  So stay tuned for updates!
