Elbows' new Fantasy Thread

[Elbows]

Thanks!

Played a couple games of Merciless today (my in progress Mordheim replacement).  Absolute riot.  Two three-player games and I managed to win neither (as usual).

Thats a beautiful board!

Fantastic looking table indeed.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Brilliant looking table mate!

[Elbows]

Thanks.  It's all my old scratch-built Mordheim stuff that's been sitting in a bin since...2014?  I built the table to play Mordheim and then my buddy made it so miserable to play that I stashed it all and never bothered again.  Now I've decided that I wanted to use the terrain, so I wrote a quick and fun (violent) game for it, and it's been a blast.

Welcome, and enjoy your stay.  Check out time is 1030 hours, and the breakfast is Continental but not comped unless you're pre-booked your stay with our app.

Finally knocked out the third (my least favourite) of the Chaos Warriors from the Khagra's box.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great work mate! I can not get over how well you manage to make me like a style of figure I was not originally a fan of.

[Elbows]

You and me both.  I was hesitant to even buy them, but I wanted just a couple Chaos Warriors and this box had only three.   I'd still prefer them about 15% "less" of everything.  Even the ones here I've chopped/trimmed off excess dangly bits, spikes, etc.  Thematically they fit together in my head as a warband; my warband is more or less a few Chaos warriors who have recruited a Beastman tribe to fight for/with them (more in line with old school Chaos from the 90's).

I have a few human cultists, a human mage, three Chaos warriors, a minotaur, a few beastmen and a bunch of ungors.  So I can make/alter my warband as my games progress.

I like your chaos warriors, but I love those ungors. Most excellent colouring in, the naturalistic colours are the shizzle.

[Rusty Cyborg]

Love the table with your old Mordheim scenery and the miniatures in this thread are gorgeous!

[Elbows]

Some 3D printed Beastmen I knocked out.  Didn't turn out great, but I needed some to do pictures later for inclusion in some games.  Will use these guys in my Merciless warbands and for dungeon crawling.

[Elbows]

Got in several games of Merciless on Christmas day, though I only snapped a few pics.  My buddy has assembled a Frostgrave Barbarian/Viking themed warband and I ran my Chaos Warriors + Beastmen group.





I also started the first three figures of an "opfor" or loaner warband for Merciless - using a box of Frostgrave Knights and Fireforge soldiers I received in a Secret Santa exchange.  I'm going to be looking for decals to do the shields in the future - but haven't found a suitable source.



Because these guys will inevitably serve double duty in the dungeon crawl, I've continued the same basing theme. 

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great stuff as always mate. I particularly like the idea of the Fireforge Northmen with different heads like that.
