Amijp's Mordheim Stuff

[amijp]

Well I'm using bows as they are cheaper, but also offer some manouverabiliaty (I've mispelled that terribly...but you get the point) So I think with my corssbows laying down some heavy fire, the bowmen will be able to sneak around, and get into better firing positions

[amijp]

Ok, so this plog is alive again, which is ironic, because up next is;

ZOMBIES!



I'll explain the size of the warband...

A while ago, I posted a question on the Mordheim Discussion forum, asking whether an all Zombie Undead warband would do well in a campaign, and, after a lot of discussion, with the help of a few other users, I decidied that for every zombie bought, you get TWO models, a sort of buy one, get one free. But a hero only gets 0.5 exp for killing a zombie, sounds fair right?

So I made 20 zombies for my brother, and I even had a go at sculpting hair on a few, so here they are;



And the hair...



What do you think?

[amijp]

Actually, it's quite difficult to see the hair..ah well, heres the rest of them;







I tried to model most of them without weapons, because they are described as using their teeth and nails as weapons in the rulebook, plus, it gives them a sort of Dawn of the Dead look.

And heres my fave, the most determined zombie of the bunch;

[amijp]

And heres my first dreg;

[amijp]

And now for my Possessed cult brethren, these guys are inspired by Ash's brethren, but mine will look a bit diff, I still need to sculpt boots for them, and give them proper face masks/bandana things;

Spears



Archers



I still need to do the heroes, and a few more brethren, I plan on having a Possessed warband that actually looks like a cult, so a lot of brethren, heres a link to my (rather contreversal) warband roster http://warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=190761

[amijp]

And the last thing for today, my Reiklanders test model, just finished this morning





It was my first time of painting over a white undercoat, think it turned out ok, not perfect, but I like it

What do you think? Leave me some C + C, so i can improve my skills

Cheers guys

[amijp]

Euch...I hate looking at pics of my painted stuff, because the red is shaded/highlited much better than the pics show...but meh, comments?

[spetswalshe]

Nice. Did you sculpt that Reikbeard? I'd love some close ups on those Zombs when they're painted.

[amijp]

No, the head for that guy is from the plastic Empire Pistoliers, I love the new Empire heads, I've used a few of them on my guys Yeah, I'll get the zombies paitned soonish, first on my list is to finish the Reiklanders, and then straight to the Undead

[Nordic]

Love the Reiklander champion!
The Possessed cultists are high elf bodies and wood elf heads right? they look awesome anyways!

[amijp]

Yeah, thats right, although I can't take credit for the idea, Ash's cultists are what inspired me

[amijp]

Ok, so now for another small update, the other archers is finished





I'm a tad unhappy with his moustache, but thats about it...



Now thats this henchmen group done. The two guys have slightly different colour schemes, but I still think they look uniformed,

What do you guys think? Any thought/comments, C+C welcomed as always

[amijp]

Come on...nobody has any thoughts?

[Asp]

nice I like your cultists - though how will they be different?

a possessed cult with no heroes is not viable - maybe your group will allow you to have some generric cultist heroes if you go down to 0-1 possesesed

alternatively, we play with the possessed as the leader and 0-2 wizards

I don't know anything about mordhiem, but I do like your models. The reikland warband is my favorite of yours I think, each figure looks as though it has had a lot of thought put into the pose. Your painting is very good as well, it's a nice scheme well done. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the warband done.

[Gargobot]

Did I miss something? Looks like your starting a whole Mordheim campaign just with your own warbands.
Archers look great, very striking (good work with the white undercoat).

The two guys have slightly different colour schemes, but I still think they look uniformed

Yup, think so too. How did you do the beard on the first one? Looks like a very natural blonde, if I try blonde I always end up with some kind of whitish blonde.

[bob_the_small]

Great painting! Keep working on em!

[amijp]

Thanks guys, I posted my stuff on here solely for feedback, so I'm gratefull for the comments ...ok, now for answers;

Ash: I'm glad you like them, and I promise they'll be slightly different from your Brethren, its funny you mentioned them, as I was woring on them last night. I'll post a few pics soon. And I have more possessed guys still in the wings, a possessed, magister and a few more brethren, pics soon.

Gargobot: Well the beard was a bit of touch and go, it was bestial brown for the basecoat, I mixed a bit of golden yellow into bestial brown for the first highlight, then added a bit of bleached bone into the mix, and dry brushed that on. For the final highlight, I carefully painted on bleached bone on to the hair, just on the most visible pieces of hair. Hope that makes sense.

[Asp]

amijp: they don't _have_ to be different, I'm glad that you are using these ideas.

I was just curious

[Nordic]

the reiklanders look very very good! very clean style. i like it =)
