Mordheim / HYW Warband
« on: 09 April 2011, 07:53:45 PM »
A friend of mine has been playing a lot of Warlord & Songs of Blades of Heroes lately, and has got me thinking about how fun fantasy skirmish games can be. Plus it's such a nice small size for a project.  Scratches the itch that ideas for big armies are making.

Here is one skirmish warband I made, and I have more planned:



They're the theme of today's post on the hobby blog. http://laughingferret.blogspot.com/2011/04/to-z-hundred-years-war.html

Really nice looking group of gentlemen. I like your way of painting, it makes these miniatures look even better.

Very nice indeed, even if most accounts of the Hundred Years War omit the role of ogres and hobbits in the conflict ...

Who makes these figures? They look great!  The simple paint job ties them together beautifully.

The men at arms and the knight are mostly from plastic GW bretonian kits from what I can spot. The more characterful models I'm nut sure.

Awesome!  Love the blog too.  The ogre is an older metal one from Rackham's Confrontation range.  Keep the projects coming please.

Nice cohesive warband with a variety of sculptors...that alone is an accomplishment...the painting is great too.

The one that jumps to mind for me is the little Marauder Halfling picking his nose...a great model...One I sold A couple of years apo that I now regret parting with... :'(.

Cheers,

Blue

Ace warband, very nicely painted and great coherency in the models without them being from the same box of plastics. Good job! =D

Lovely jubbly! These guys are just really impressive; a really cohesive warband with an alt-history feel and a fantastic popping paint job. Love the subtle weathered metals too. Pic saved to the hard drive!

I really regret not picking up that Cadwallon Ogre (and his compadres) when I had the chance a couple of years ago, just because i didn't need them at the time. Note to self: always buy minis when the opportunity arises.

Yowza!  Really, really nice work there.  As everyone else has been pointing out very cohesive, but still varied!  More please.
