Koyote in Mordheim (And some WHQ)

[Major_Gilbear]

The whole thread is fantastic! 

If I may ask, did anything ever come of the Dark Elf warband? I'm curious as you don't see many of those about.

I played a few games with them.  I never did paint them. They sat on my shelf for years. A couple of months ago I gave them to a friend.

One of our WHQ players plays a Chaos Warrior. Since it would be odd to for the likes of wood elves and dwarves to tolerate a Chaos Warrior in their ranks, the running joke is that he’s just a “Warrior”.

Sure, he’s a taciturn, hulking, killing machine, who prays to odd gods, but you know, that’s just how those barbaric Northerners are. Nothing to get too worked up about. No need to get the Witch Hunters involved. Nope, nothing to see here. Nu-uh.

With this in mind I built a Chaos Warrior who doesn’t appear to be too ‘Chaos-EE’.

I did something similar when I played WHQ with a group. I had the Chaos Warrior player use a bearded barbarian model, and while he and I knew he was a Chaos Warrior, the other players did not!

Next up will be a Kislevite Shaman. Since GW didn’t create a specific WHQ shaman model, I’m going to use the OOP GW Amber Wizard (minus its ridiculous moose antler backpack).

The model is made from GW’s so-called Finecast material (aka Crapcast, aka Swiss Cheese Cast, aka the physical embodiment of GW’s utter contempt for its customers), so I used greenstuff and epoxy sculpt to rebuild and patch its hair, right ear, mustache,boots, cape, parts of its arms, and the teeth on head of its staff).

WHQ Kislevite Shamans have to pick a spirit familiar, so I added a raven (+1 move & +1 initiative) to the base.

My WHQ Kislevite Shaman is ready to go dungeon diving.



Or to serve as a spellcaster hired sword in Mordheim.

It’s a drag that you had to put so much effort in to correct the defects in the casting, but the final result you achieved on that figure is excellent! I’m enjoying seeing each of the figures in this thread.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great work mate! 👍

[Freddy]

I just went through this thread, awesome conversions and painting!

[Koyote]

More WHQ.  This time a Bretonnian Knight and a Wizard.

[Major_Gilbear]

Mmm, lovely! 

[Pattus Magnus]

Those look great! I especially like the effects you achieved on the cloth.

[Metternich]

The knight in particular is exceptionally well painted.

[Koyote]

I finished the last of my Kislevites.




Next up are some new Tainted (heroes) for my Carnival of Chaos.



And then it’s time to put some paint on my long neglected Estalian (counts-as Tilean) Don Quixote themed warband.

The warband will be centered on the Don Quixote and Sancho models that I painted many years ago.  It incorporates the Wargames Atlantic Conquistador models as well as some fun minis from other model lines.

[Pattus Magnus]

Those are excellent! The Don Quixote inspired figures especially. I’m looking forward to seeing them painted.
