About time I show some of my first models I painted for my warband…ever!
I already learned tons of stuff that’s probably obvious to all the veteran Warhammer players around here, but for people just starting out it’s all still strange and new. That’s why I decided to share some of the stuff I learned.
But first, let’s show of some of my work!
Don’t forget to click the picture for a full size image.




Still work in progress, gotta do alot more details on the armour (what a bloody nice model this is by the way; Grimgor Ironhide) and got to finish up the shields and base on the bottom.
Still I’m very happy how his armour turned out. I decided to keep his armour a bit shinier compared to most Orcs, since he is the boss and all and gets the best and latest loot.
Off course the Boss needs to boss around a bit, so I also started painting on the Big ‘Uns, Forgot and Agok:








Basically at the same stage as the boss, got a nice layer of paint on them with some washes, but still need to work out some details and the bases. I also got to figure something out to make the 2 more different from each other, since it was nearly impossible to put this model (Black Orc Warboss) into a different pose. And off course the obvious missing arm, which will b revealed soon(tm).
Thanks to Loek I got an awesome idea, since Forgot has gained stupidity because of a battle wound, I will put an axe imbedded in his skull! That should explain those loose bolts in his puny orc brain. I’m also going to clip one of his helmet horns, also a wound from that battle.
Now what did I learn from all this painting and (minor) sculpting? I’ll tell ya after the break.

A thick grey fog rolls through the trees. It is a silent night, not even the sound of the usual critters can be heard. After several hours of an unnatural silence a cloaked figure appears on the edge of the hill, his face completely hidden beneath his cowl. Behind him, the silhouette of something that appears to be a wagon, slowly gets into sight. This wagon is being pulled by several individuals that slowly move forward. They seem to walk as if they are having trouble controlling their limbs in an effective way. On the wagon appears to be only a single object.. A wooden coffin.
When the mysterious group arrives at the gates of Mordheim, they suddenly hold. Amongst the ruins a band of vile creatures appears.. The ghouls show up to meet their master.
The night belongs to the undead, and in Mordheim it is always night.

A couple of weeks ago when I was at Vince’s house he told me he and a couple of friends started creating and playing Mordheim. As a (retired) Warhammer collector this appealed to me quite a bit. I decided to do some research on Mordheim and its possible warbands. Coming across the undead warband I got even more excited and decided I’d join my friends in their quest for wyrdstone.
I ordered some undead models from the UK, and now almost 2 weeks later, my models arrived. When I opened my package I was a bit disappointed, the company I ordered from seemed to have made a mistake on my vampire model. Instead of the Konrad von Carstein model, I received the Vlad von Carstein model. A minor setback I will just have to deal with.
I will post some updates when I find the time to start assembling my models.

Jerodar posted an overview of his warband over at his Orcs & Goblins warband page.
Also Kewn wrote an introduction to his warband and also posted an overview of his Skaven warband.
Go on, have a look.

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.

I’ve been thinking of what to do with my
For most crafting related stuff I tend to just grab whatever I need and start painting / cutting / glueing / etc. until I either get bored or I end up liking the result.
Not for my warband. Some time ago I made some quick and dirty sketches of some conversion idea’s I’ve been having. Soon I’ll blog more on the actual miniatures themselves and how I’ve started converting them. The text in the images is in Dutch, but it’s just a basic description of what’s in the pictures. Here’s some snapshots of the sketches:





Here’s a bonus picture of a Minotaur I drew.

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?
