Koyote Posted November 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 It's time for my Kislevites to add a bear to their warband. The model is an OOP bear, made by Red Box Games. The original sculpt's claws are either obscured by its fur or missing altogether, so I made my own. The GS claws on the mini's right paw look shorter than the others, but that's because they are curled under a bit too much and none of the camera angles fully captured them. The dense terrain of a Mordheim table can make it difficult to properly place models on large bases, so I took advantage of bear's upright pose and mounted it on 25mm square. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koyote Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I finally got around to putting some paint on the chests. And, since one of this month's campaign scenarios is Cry of the Banshee... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koyote Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 In addition to my other umpteen-zillion hobby projects, I really want to create a dwarf warband for a skirmish game. If not for Mordheim, then for Frostgrave, or possibly Rangers of Shadows Deep. Regardless of the game system, I want it to include a human wizard and a halfling thief. Yes. I know. Very unoriginal. But the heart wants what the heart wants. 🙂 The halfling is Stonehave Miniatures' Halfling Apprentice. The wizard was made from the GW Battlemage kit. I shamelessly stole the idea for the conversion from someone else on the interwebs. The pipes come from the old GW Dwarf Thunderers/Quarellers kit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 You might want to check out the Oathmark Dwarves, thirty plastic minis for £25 GBP is a heckuva deal. They’re also a lot less “cartoonish” than the typical Warhammer Dwarfs from Citadel Miniatures and not nearly as expensive as their LotR sets. (I’d love to get a Frostgrave game going here in Portland... But just don’t have the free time to organize anything.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Poor brave Natasha died during my last game. She was torn apart by Witch Hunters' hounds. To make maters worse, three of my heroes went out-of-action and I rolled abysmally low with my 2 exploration dice, so I ended up with only one treasure (wyrdstone). I didn't have enough gc to pay the upkeep for my my hired swords and hire a new Youth, so I sold my rabbits foot, a lantern, and both of my Streltsis' bows (they never hit anything anyway). This gave me enough gold to keep both hired swords and hire a new Youth, Gregor. My replacement Youth is an actual Kislev Youth model from the long OOP Mordheim Kislev warband set. The Kislev weapon sprue didn't give me what I wanted, so I equipped him with a hammer from the Frostgrave Barbarian plastic set and a mace that I cobbled together from a bit from a GW Bretonnian men-at-arms kit. The dwarf is another OOP GW model. I had at one time planned to incorporate the model into my Kislev warband as a hire sword, but I don't think this will happen this time around. The model has been primered and sitting on my painting table for ages. I got tired of it starring at me with those tiny, judgmental eyes, so I slapped some paint on the little bugger and moved it to my display case. Now I have room on my painting table for another unpainted model that I can neglect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 What began as me painting a few models to serve as unusual antagonists for a Mordheim campaign's final game ended up as full blown Carnival of Chaos warband. You'll never see a brighter or cleaner cult of Nurgle worshipers. 😉 Carnival Master & (counts-as) Nurglings Brutes Plaguebearer & Tainted Ones Brethren WIP Plague Cart The first Plaguebearer that I painted turned out pretty good. It is much more in line with what one thinks of when one imagines a daemon of Nurgle, but it just didn't fit in with the rest of the warband. It's too dark and dirty, so the Carnival Master summoned one a bit less far gone and then sent it to the carnival's make-up artist for a makeover. 🙂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PourSpelur Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Consistently blown away by your stuff. The love for forgotten, flawed and just plain odd models really shows. The highest compliment I can give is when I see one of your painted models and say to myself, "oh, that's a neat sculpt", then I scroll down to the unpainted version and notice you've twisted the arm, built a new lower face, removed a cowboy hat, turned a shield upside-down...etc. The fact I don't see how much work went into it is what makes em so good. Keep churning that gold out and raising the bar! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
