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.

New Vampire for Undead Warband

Hi, folks. I just finished a new Vampire for my Undead Warband. I haven't named him, yet. Any suggestions? This is a GW Mordheim Vampire I picked up at the Game Room in Toledo, Ohio, a while back. He is pictured standing in a ruin my son, Stephen, made a while ago.


 This guy was fun to paint. I generally suck at painting faces but I'm almost happy with his. We're going to continue with our current campaign, but we're also starting a new campaign with different warbands. That's why I painted up a new vamp. I'm hoping to be posting pics of my sons' new warbands soon. Stephen has some excellent Dwarf Treasure Hunters, Mark is making a nice Chaos Possessed warband, and Bob is making a Beastman warband. So more pics on the way soon. Thanks for looking.

Undead Warband for Mordheim

Hi, folks. I've been doing a little painting and touch-ups on some old minis I've had sitting around for a while. Washes, rebasing, all that kind of stuff while waiting for various terrain pieces to dry. You know the drill. :)

After reading a lot of posts and articles, primarily at Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum and Mordheimer, I decided to go with a mostly living Undead Warband.

Valkar's Legion 499 gc
Valkar The Red - Vampire - Sword, Mace
Eli Morte - Necromancer - Sword, Bow, Club
Larion - Dreg - Mace, Sword
Brother Darylion - Dreg - Axe, Mace, Bow
Other Brother Darylion - Dreg - Spear, Bow
Ghouls x 4 Names: Stench, Dread, Hungry, and Badness. (each in a separate Henchman group to increase chance of rolling The Lad's Got Talent)
Dire Wolf x 1 (Named Goggie) Wanted something fast, besides I likes me some doggies.

All of the pics are taken with my new GameCraft Minis Modular Gothic Ruin as a backdrop. Article about the ruin can be seen here.

Valkar the Red  - Vampire

I think he's an old Reaper mini. I painted him a long time ago. Just added a black Future/Magic wash today and rebased him. I still need to add a sword to the model.

Eli Morte - Necromancer
WHFB players may recognize this guy. My son Bob painted him a long time ago. Today I rebased and gave him a black Future/Magic wash.

Dregs: Larion, Brother Darylion and Other Brother Darylion
 The Darylions (Left and right) are GW Mordheim Dregs. Larion (center) is a HorrorQuest Vampire Thrall. All have been rebased, washed and Larion had a club added which was cut off one of the Ghouls. Larion, Brother Darylion and Other Brother Darylion is a lame reference to the old Bob Newhart sitcom. "I'm Larry. This is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl".

Ghouls: Stench, Dread, Hungry, and Badness. In no particular order. They're interchangeable. :)

These are slightly converted Heroscape Ghouls. I wanted to alter their poses. Arms cut off, bodies cut in half, clubs appropriated. It were horrible. :) A couple of them are based on some "pigskin" scrapbook specialty paper meant to represent an American football's surface. I like it for cobblestone.

Dire Wolf:

An old GW plastic Vampire Counts Dire Wolf. He got the reno treatment: wash, drybrush, rebase. He's named "Goggie" because that's the way my son John used to say "Doggie". :)
Well, that's it for now. Thanks for looking. C&C welcome.
