Koyote in Mordheim (And some WHQ)

[Koyote]

Eleven down, one to go!

Petyr and Roman are two more fierce fighters from the northern steppes of Kislev.  While not related by blood, the two Cossacks are brothers in spirit and nigh inseparable.  Cross one, and you will have two enemies for life.

[Ogrob]

Lovely painting there, as always.

Captain Yuri's regiment of Kossars was decimated in a border war against a scheming baron of Ostland. Disillusioned by his experience fighting against Kislev's Empire "allies," Yuri resigned his commission.

After trying his hand at carpentry, farming, and shoe making, Yuri came to the conclusion that the only thing he is really good at is fighting and leading men in battle. So, with some reluctance, Yuri has once again taken up sword and pistol.   He now commands a small warband of mercenaries that call themselves, to their captain's chagrin, Yuri's Raiders.





The model is Black Chapel Miniatures' Altreich Engineer. The model comes with two pistols, a huge, multi-barreled pistol and a more traditional pistol. As you can see, I chose the latter.

The only conversion work was to remove the long handgun from his back and replace it with a (ridiculously massive) sheathed scimitar.  The model is metal and the handgun is not a separate piece, so it took quite a bit of work to remove it. Ugh!





And now that I've finished painting my starting warband, it's time for a group shot.

Amazing stuff!  Like the ruined tower, too.

[Bloggard]

great character all 'round.

[Koyote]

Thanks guys.

I'm working on a Kislev crossbowman to serve as my first new recruit, a third Streltsi.

And I think it's time to finally put some paint on my Wyrdstone markers.

[Elk101]

Nice markers.

[Samsonov]

This is really inspirational stuff. Very characterful.

[von Lucky]

Lovely painting, as usual. Very characterful.

[Andym]

Brilliant project! I've just caught up with this, somehow I missed it. Great painting and terrain alround!

[Koyote]

I've added some new treasure and wyrdstone markers to my collection.  During the process, transferred the bits from my old markers onto Renedra 25mm cobblestone bases.

The purple bits were made by a Spanish company, Tiny Tales Studio.

[white knight]

Brilliant thread!

[Koyote]

I finished painting my 3rd Streltsi.  This fellow won't be part of my starting warband.  I hope to have enough gold crowns to add him after my first (or second) game.





The rules for Kislevite warbands was first published in Town Cryer Issue 16.  In this first version of the rules, Kislevites didn't have access to crossbows, which is odd, because the Mordheim Kislevite miniatures sold by GW at the time included models armed with crossbows.  If you look at the cover of Town Cryer 16, you'll see one of them. 

GW republished the Kislevite warband rules in 2002 Mordheim Annual.  This version includes crossbows as an option for Streltsi.  Better late than never.

Cracking work! Especially those markers! I do love it when pieces like that tell a wee story!

[Tungdil]

Terrific brushwork on this crossbow man. This whole thread is great.
