Mark's Dark Elf Warband

Hi, folks. This is Mark's Dark Elf Warband for our ongoing Mordheim campaign.
Highborn - Captain. He got a new sword from a chaos warrior sprue.
Beast Master - Hero
Reaper Mini - Mark painted his gems with Tamiya clear for a little extra kick.
Fellblade - Hero
I love these old GW Witch Elves.
Fellblade - Hero
Sorcerer - Hero
Another Reaper Mini. Mark put a lot of work into this one. He's getting pretty good.
Corsair - Henchman
Old GW Mini - I think Mark did an especially good job on the axe.
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for looking.

Mordheim Undead Warband Ghoul Hero

Pic above: Ghoul Hero vs. Middenheim Youngblood. Bets on the outcome?

Hi, folks. I just finished a new Ghoul Hero for my Undead Warband for Mordheim. I had been using some Heroscape Ghouls for my warband's Ghouls. They're pretty nice sculpts with a decent pre-paint. However, once I got one of them promoted with a "The Lad's Got Talent" roll, I wanted a fancier model to show his new status. I had seen on the interwebs where someone used the new Ghoul King from the GW Terrorgheist kit for a Ghoul Hero, and so a quick trip to e-bay netted me the Ghoul King bits for my new Ghoul Hero.

The Ghoul King model was intended to be mounted on a Zombie Dragon, so his feet aren't correctly positioned for standing. I drilled into his right foot, and pinned him onto a small brick from the Hirst Arts Small Brick Mold. I glued a piece of pigskin scrapbook paper to the base to simulate cobblestone, and then glued the brick and the model onto the base.

I gave him a simple drybrush paintjob with GW Knarloc Green, Snot Green and Scorpion Green for the skin. Then Mechrite Red for the loincloth with a Blazing Orange highlight. Then Bleached Bone for the skulls, bones and talons. A little mechrite red and sunburst yellow for the eyes, mechrite red for the tongue. Then white craft paint for the teeth. When everything was dry, then a quick wash of Devlan Mud for the skulls, bones, and talons. Then a Badab Black wash for everything else.

I like the way he came out. It's a very nice sculpt. Here's a couple more pics.


Thanks for looking. I hope to have another update soon with my new Middeheim Warband.

A few converted Dregs for my Undead Warband for Mordheim


Hi, again. A few more pics to finish out updating the warbands. These are some Dregs I made to replace my old metal GW Dregs. I had seen where someone used plastic GW Flagellants for Dregs in the past. I thought that was a great idea and decided to copy it. I don't remember where I saw it or who did it, though. Sorry. I bought a few plastic flagellants off e-bay and replaced their flails with different weapons. Dar got a great sword from the Empire Militia sprue, Zar got a militia sword and a club from a Sargeant Major Miniatures weapons pack I bought a while ago, and Lar got a militia sword and mace, and a head swap from a bag of Wargames Factory Saxon heads I had. I painted them mostly black and red to match their Vampire master.


For Mordheim I prefer plastic models to metals for ease of conversion. And these were very easy. I know, you're thinking what great names, too. :) Thanks for looking.

Well, there's Mark's Chaos Possessed Warband. He actually did some work on the bases tonight, and I'll try to update with some new pics tomorrow. I think he's done a very nice job and is getting good at painting. Thanks for looking.

Stephen's Dwarf Treasure Hunter Warband for Mordheim

Hi folks. Here's some pics of my son Stephen's Dwarf Treasure Hunter Warband, The Mordheim Pickers. (Tongue in cheek reference to the History Channel show, "American Pickers", about a couple of guys who search for junk treasure.)
Pics below show Brundi, the Noble and Leader.
 I think he did a great job on the shield in the pic below.
Pics below are the Engineer, Ivan

A couple of Slayers below

Firebeard, a Thunderer Hero


Some Henchmen below


 I really like the arrows through the shield. Time for a new one, I think.

Last one below is the Halfling Cook, Emeril. It says"Bam" on his helmet. :)

That's all of them. They need some work on the bases but I think he did really well with the paintjobs. Thanks for looking.

Warband Pics


Pics above: Mark's Chaos Possessed vs. Bob's Beastmen

Hi, everyone. I finally got around to posting pics of our second warbands. In our first campaign, which is still ongoing, we started with Marks' Reiklanders, Stephens' Skaven, Bob's Marienbergers, and my Witch Hunters. We played 9 games each with them and retired them for a while. I don't have many pics of them because most of them were unpainted.

We started a second campaign using Mark's Chaos Possessed, Stephen's Dwarf Treasure Hunters, Bob's Beastmen, and my Undead. A lot more of them are painted and so I'm putting up some pics of the second wave of warbands today. Hopefully we can get in a few games today, and maybe some tomorrow, too. We've played nine games each with the second set of warbands, too. So we may start alternating using an old warband against a new one for more variety.  More pics-second wave warbands.
