Koyote in Mordheim (And some WHQ)

[Pattus Magnus]

The new additions look fabulous! Beautiful smooth painting on everything.

[marianas_gamer]

Nicely painted.

Gorgeous duo! The fabric on Sophia's skirt and the pants of the ogre are absolute standouts - lovely smooth shading/highlighting. That conversion from her holding a dagger to a mace is also seamless, plus I just love how unlikely the idea of her hiding something like that behind her back is! Excellent!

The Men of La Mancha suffered their first defeat in a game against the savage Middenheimers.
…
On a more positive note, almost every hero and henchman group got an advance roll.  This produced a mixed bag of results, with the best outcome being a Lads Got Talent result, promoting a Marksman to a hero.

Unbeknownst to Don Alonso Quijano, his niece, Antonia, disguised herself as a marksman and joined the company of Estalian adventurers shortly before they boarded ship in Magritta. Her true identity was revealed when her fake beard was dislodged and lost during the Estalians’ flight from the Middenheimers.

Lacking the gold crowns to hire an armed escort and pay the fare to ship her back to Estalia, her uncle has reluctantly agreed to let her remain with his company. It must be said that even if Alonso did have the coin to send his niece home, Antonia’s skill with a crossbow would surely be missed.

Below is my new hero, Antonia, and my new model for Gines the Halfling Scout (and his pet chicken, Gallo). The model that I was using for Gines is great, but I think it’s more suited for my Pirate warband.

I ‘Kickstarted’ the Heresy Lab Order of the Flaming Lys – Citizens of the Old World warband. For years it sat unassembled on a shelf. My buddy showed interest in playing Bretonnians, so built him a Bret warband.

Some of the models aren’t armed exactly as they are in his starting list, but after his first game or two he can upgrade their weapons and armor to match the models.

I replaced the Ogre Bodyguard’s gut plate with a damaged Bretonnian shield bit. The new gut plate has a fleur de lis symbol on it, which can also be found on many of the resin models.

Last night we played a 3-way Treasure Hunt scenario -Marienburgers, Orcs, and Pirates fighting over 7 treasure markers. Assailed on two sides by the Orcs and Pirates, the beleaguered Marienburgers eventually fled, but not before taking out 2 pirate henchmen, and Orc henchman, and even a troll! The game ended in a draw between Orcs and Pirates due to time. Each warband escaped with 2 treasure markers and there were no permanent injuries or deaths.

.... does that man have a pig hammer?

[snitcythedog]

Impressive table.

.... does that man have a pig hammer?

I thought he was protesting pigs.   

[Koyote]

.... does that man have a pig hammer?

Yes. Yes he does.

My buddy who plays that warband is more of a gamer than hobbyist. When he added that henchman group to his Marienburger warband, he assembled it from what he had on hand -leftover Victrix historicals. The “pig hammer” is the top of a banner pole and the pig is supposed to be a boar.

From left to right are: Antonia, Gines (pronounced hee-nez), and Sophia.  Antonia is the Lads Got Talent hero for my Estalian warband. Gines is a Halfing Scout hired sword for the same warband.  Sophia is a Tilean Marksman hired sword for my Pirate warband.

The Sophia model was originally slated to be Antonia, but her jacket looks too much like a naval uniform, so I kit bashed a more suitable model for Antonia, and Sophia became the newest member of my Pirate crew.

Splendid work!

[Grumpy Gnome]

Brilliant work mate! 👍

[hubbabubba]

Excellent, nice paining, especially the face on Sophia,she's got real character.

Who makes the Sophia fig? I'm guessing it's a print?

[Citizen Sade]

Great additions.

Sophia's a Dunkeldorf miniature. They have an excellent range of mainly metal miniatures and terrain. It includes lots of pet animals and non-combatant types.

Yup, Sophia is the Claudia "Schwartz" Hinkel model from the Dunkeldorf model line.

Gines was built from the Wargames Atlantic Halfling Militia box. His quiver is an old GW bit, cut down to size. Gallo, the chicken, is from Gripping Beasts' Livestock set.

Antonia's body and head come from the Fireforge Games' Folk Rabble kit.  The crossbow and arms are from Fireforge's Foot Sergeants kit. The sheathed sword is from he Wargames Atlantic Conquistadors kit, the dead bird is from the GW Bretonnian Men-at-Arms kit, and the quiver is another old GW bit, cut down to size.
