Hello there!
Long time lurker, first time poster here...
I want to use this thread to post some pics: it'll be mostly Mordheim / Frostgrave related. However, I ordered the Rangers of Shadows Deep book and I'm starting to collect and finisch the pieces (Minis and Terrain) to give that ago. I'm exited for it! Since this topic will also be Mordheim (& WHFB) related, I opted to not post in the FG subforum.
My recent project is that I've been organising a small demo game of Frostgrave to try and see if I can get the Missus + family into it. She enjoys boardgames and unexpectedly liked the Kickstarter game "Village Attacks" a lot. That got me preparing for a round of FG to probe for interest. I want to run it with just 1 wizard, 1 close combat minion and 1ranged minion and only a couple of spells in order to keep it fun but not overwhelming. I took the opportunity to paint 3 new mini-warbands so that it shows some variation and choise in styles besides "just humans."
That makes a total of 5 "Mini-Warbands": Humans, Evil Humans, Goblins, Skaven, Undead (necro). I'm considering potential 6th (Beastmen), however finishung at least the first Column of FG Bestiary will be first. I have to say that I enjoy painting like this, because it gives so much variation to the mini's on my painting desk :)
I'm looking forward to your Comments, Critisism and Tips 'n Trics to improve :)
Finished yesterday: 2/3 of the Skaven

And an impression of how my part of Mordheim / Fellstad / ... looks like:

Happy Gaming :)

Oh, I like those! And your part city looks great too. Much better than I can do.
I particularly like the rusty weapons on the Skaven. More pictures please.
-
Welcome! No tips or criticism from me (there are far better painters on here for that) but I like the way you painted your figures, especially the Necromancer. I have that figure and have been considering a suitable colour scheme. Your choice of colours makes him stand out on the table without looking too busy, and focusses attention on his expression without losing the details of the sculpt. Good luck with the game!
-
The city is simply superb!
Lovely minis, I really dig those old school Skavens!
-
Brill :)
-
Fantastic work, very nice figures that look really clean.
-
Indeed. That's a pretty nice set up you have there. That should be a joy to play on/in. Love the style of your brushwork. Kind of bold but delicate too. The faces of the skaven particularly. Welldone. ;-)
-
An excellent first post & a great looking table
Am glad you decided to stop lurking & start posting :D
-
Yea6, great first post. I really like your painting, particularly the skaven. Thanks for sharing them.
-
Great looking table! Really brings back the memories of playing Mordheim. I currently aim for something similar but way less sophisticated. I especially like the verticality of your scenery!
The approach of building very low miniature count warbands to get people to play a few games crossed my mind many times and now I will probably do the same :)
-
Really enjoy the look of the table and the older Skaven. :)
-
Everything looks real good
-
Painting is great, I love the goblins and skaven especially! but that terrain set up is amazing! It must be a lot of fun to play games on that!
-
Lovely vibrant painting. Well done!
-
Thank you for all of the nice responses :)
Up next: another batch of FG/ RoSD- Bestiary entrys

I've finished this batch of Bestiary entrys:

These giant spiders from Northstar have been monstly done using GW Contrast paints and were done pretty quickly:
(https://i.imgur.com/KqXlvYb.jpg)
I'm currently working on Fireforge's zombies. I use these models to play around with the Contrast paints. I'm not happy yet... They still need highlighting of the skin, the cloaths and tough ups. I must say, that using Contract for the basic colours is really fast and rewarding.

Those came out well. Always liked that Argus sculpt. Who's the best doggie? You are! Yes, both of you! Good puppies! :)
-
Great work - those FF undead look great...might have to get some myself
:)
-
Thanks for your all the nice comments :)
I decided to start the RosD Warband, since the majority of the FG bestiary is not complete and I'm eager to play!
This is the Band that will liberate us from evil:

I started with the Raptor:

Followed by the first henchmen --> I have to say: I'm intrigued by this stage. I might so a minimalistic Warband like this once :)

I finished the next 4 Companions for Rangers of Shadows deep:

And a Frost Toad:

Upto the Conjurer, Ranger and Rogue
-
Great stuff. I particularly like the masked figure with bed roll, and your choice of colours is spot on.
-
Very good work indeed
-
Thank you all for the kind words :).
The Coinjurer's also ready...

Only the Rogue and Ranger left, then it's game time!
-
Ive been finishing some things from the "to-do" List as well made some new stuff.
EDIT: Sorry for the big pics, any tips in how to resize them?
The "Wizard and Apprentice" from Northstar will be for gaming with the kids:

Then I finished up some scenery for the RosD Bridge Scenario
(https://i.imgur.com/BGKyrbN.jpg)

As well as some "scatter scenery"
(https://i.imgur.com/0ysNIdZ.jpg)
I feel that after a year of prepping, I'm finally ready to play some Rangers of Shadows Deep :). I wanted to finish a couple of scenarios so I don't have to wait for months in between before I can play the next one. I have about everything I need for the first 2 Missions. Already looking forward to prepping the Burning Light Expantion.
I got the Dungeons and Lasers Kickstarter: Basic Dungeon with 3 rooms + Legacy & Normal Stretch Goals that will be perfect for the requirements of Burning Light.

I really like your painting style - the figures look great. The scenery is pretty good too - especially the camp. Can't wait to see these all in action.

I agree these are wonderful. What contrast paint did you use for the undead skin tones? It looks really good.
-
Lots of great work!

Time to post some latest additions:
An impression of how the "Dungeons & Lasers" Kickstarter will look. I'm really impressed with the quality of the parts

I quite like what you have done with the Dungeons and Lasers pieces. Looking forward to seeing the scatter pieces done to match. I also quite like the folk rabble villagers.
-
Great work Rudd. I like you’re painting style and scenery. I love those fireforge folk rabble and have some from the Kickstarter, I’ve made mine so each one has an undead counterpart using spare parts and the undead version.
Keep up the good work

That Dungeons and Lasers terrain does look really good. Filled out with Mantic Terrain Crate bits?
-
Thanks for the comments :). Yes those are from the Mantic terrain Crate: they go so well together!
-
Lovely dungeon!
-
Beautiful miniatures and terrain! Really want to get a 15mm ruined city going. The only kit I have seen is the Red Vector ruins.
-
Well I've been soing some stuff since the latest update.
Fisrt I built by TTCombat MDF Terrain. Very nice stuff to work with.
(https://i.imgur.com/62mm1pd.jpeg)
Then I finished my Dungeons and Lasers 2 Kickstarter including the Fantasy Interiour items. It took quite a while and took it out on my patience. However, I'm happy with the result. Good thung the D&L 3 kickstarters only rolls in next summer :D
The Hall of Heros

The Mines

So bringing the Basic Dungeon and the 3 Rooms from the kickstarter together:

It's a little more Cinematic with the interiour and some Dungeon foes!

I need a break from doing Scenery after all that...
Thats why I'm doing a Frostgrave Warband for a new projekt! I wanted it to be alle Frostgrave and all Plastic. I used all of the Current Kits with the Exception of the Gnolls (Obviously) and the new Demons: they have the cool armour, but they just dont have the feet for it and I wanted to avoid cutting and converting.
(https://i.imgur.com/p2kna4J.jpeg)
Im going for a uniform look with a white/red theme supported by warm browns and greys on this one. Paint on!
-
That is a lot of work finished and looking good!
-
They look great,well done :-*
-
Wow, You made a lot of stuff. Im jealous...
-
So impressive!
Know that you're not alone, I have an acquaintance that lost all patience trying to paint the D&L tiles. Bonus points for trying to do so while in the middle of a heat wave with temperatures over 40ºC.
