Hello fellows! Happy new year to everybody :D
Here is the starting of my first painting commission here on LAF. It is a Mordheim Marienburg warband for Admiral Benbow painted with a classic marienburger style with some hired swords.
First, I have to beg your pardon for the pics quality: as always in this period I have not a good photo setting. I'll add better pics as soon as possible. For the moment I finished these two bad guys:























hope you like it guys! :)
C&C always welcome.

cheers
Faber

Great stuff Faber. Lucky Admiral Benbow. Nothing wrong with the photos either.

Is the Admiral basing these himself ?  I actually really like them as they are. Looks like they are in some ruins :D

OH BABY; COOL STUFF!,,,there, that about says it all. Well maybe a word or two more. They really look TERRIFIC, colorful without getting gaudy...I tend to go gaudy/cartoonish myself...& nicely based. VERY WELL DONE...the Good Admiral is a lucky Guy!

thanks mate! :) too kind about the pics...I really need to improve this side of the hobby.
And, yes: I forgot to say that the Admiral is going to paint the base himself :)

eheh! thanks DeafNala! :) I'm happy you like them. Bases are done by the Admiral himself, only the pj is mine :)

They look great, Faber!

And he is - indeed! Very nice painting from Faber's talented hands, and I'm really looking forward gaming with my new warband. The miniatures are already based and will be painted and decorated by myself to keep my collection consistent.

Some recent "Song of Blades and Heroes"-games and the wonderful Witchtown thread by the Prof himself enthused me to get back into proper Fantasy again after some years of strictly historical gaming - well, with some VSF included, and, err, some Old West. And Full Thrust, of course. Fictional colonial games as well ... Hhm, were there some historical games at all? Anyway, glad to be back!

That's great stuff!

I've always liked the Marienburg spiffy colours; can't wait for the rest of the band.

And since I've never seen the Ogre Bodyguard up close (yet :D ) I have to ask; is that a Halfling in his backpack? lol
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I should let you know that the original ogre has some very large, square theeth protruding from his lower lip looking quite ugly. I didn't like them and cut them away.

Great job!  IIRC the Ogre has a halfling and a giant rat in his back pack.  Which makes him one of my faves!

Keep up the great work Faber!

many thanks guys! ;)
actually this is one of the best ogre ever sculpted in GW world. It's just perfect for Mordheim! It was very funny to paint it following the Admiral's instruction. I have spent a lot of time in chosing the right skin colour and painting the face was a real joy :D

thanks Ale! :) I'm happy you like it.
(Today I'm going to be in Taverna! Come on mate, I'll see you there? :D)
