I went back to page 1 and followed to the last page.
What a great project. All of it so well done.
My hats off to you.
Have enjoyed the battle reports.
Thank you.

I think this table would be gteat for 'Pike and Shot and Zombies', too - am going to use the rules for a zombiecalypse participation campaign game in the Warhammer setting. Mordheim terrain/minis are perfect for that  :D

No matter how beautifully modeled & painted the  minis & scenery are separately when seen in combination, particularly in a game, the effect is WONDROUS TO BEHOLD! Thanks for starting my day with a bit of wonder.

Thanks for all the comments, Chaps, your views and compliments are much appreciated as they come from such talented and enthusiastic folk as yourselves!

Kitsune;
Thanks for adding the pics, mate. They certainly look better than most of mine. Again, I deleted far more than I used.
Any chance you could take some of 'The Brotherhood'? I am sure the guys on here would love to see some close-ups, especially of 'Big George', an excellent conversion, making the big guy very much one of the 'Brothers.'

Legionnaire Bert ;
 Ok , Bertie, fair is fair. I was only pulling ya leg!
Bert didn't have much time to put a new warband together, which he did to give Kitsune a fair game with two starting bands.
He did a sterling job of getting the rest painted up in time, the poor old Possessed was the brunt of a few jokes over the course of the game due to his 'outfit' and his inability to do any more than act as a crash test dummy during the game! I am sure he will look great for his next outing, Bert has done an excellent job on the conversion and I cant wait to see the fella finished off.
 Defending his 'tactics' with the Dwarves; There was not a lot he could do with the mining group. He had just picked an unfortunate place for them all to arrive. As this is determined before the enemy deployment begins and is rolled randomly at the start of each turn to see if they appear, he was just unlucky with their timing. A turn later and they may well not have been in such an awkward predicament! He did carry on, trying to make the best of a bad situation, for far longer than he had to. He could have chosen to 'bottle it' fairly early, but stuck in there and put up quite a fight before deciding that the cause was lost.

In regards of naming the Elves; Until you can get close enough to actually identify any of them, they will remain as elusive as they have been!

I understand the feeling, James. Every time I see something on here it makes me want to jump in at the deep end!
If only I had the time...


Superb table - looks like you all had a blast!

Thatsants; We certainly did. When you get a group together that can have a good laugh, even whilst everything is going to the dogs around you, you know that you are lucky to have such a good natured and happy group to play toy soldiers with!


I think this table would be gteat for 'Pike and Shot and Zombies', too - am going to use the rules for a zombiecalypse participation campaign game in the Warhammer setting. Mordheim terrain/minis are perfect for that  :D

Argonor; Great minds must think alike!
I am already putting a horde of zombies together for a huge 'Z-Fest' style game for the chaps later in the year!


Dinohunterpoa, Heldrak, Luckyjoe, Marone0846, Deafnala- Thanks for the comments. they are all much appreciated!


EDIT: I do have quite a few pics of various items on the board taken from various angles, but didnt want to bore you with loads of pics of things you have already seen.
If anyone is interested, just say and I will post a few at a time.

I would second that - do show more. Very inspirational I found the cemetery and dock side particularly good.

That is a great table!   I love all of the little walkways to encourage people to stay elevated.

I don't know how I managed to miss this thread before now, but the upside is that I got the chance to read through it all in one sitting! Brilliant stuff! The board is amazing, the warbands are fantastic (the Skaven are great) and it's clear from the battle reports that it's allowing you to do what Mordheim is meant for - having fun! I love the game - always have - and this is wonderful inspiration. Looking forward to seeing Krappefortt go from strength to strength!

Mweaver;
Our earlier games of Mordheim were lacking walkways and, as the game only really comes into its own with multi-level play, they are a must to get the most FUN out of a game.
A diving charge is always egged on by everyone in the room!

Hawkeye;
Thanks!

Golgotha, Deafnala;
You asked for it!!!


Here are a few more pics of the stuff already posted. The pictures were taken with a flash as it was so late, and it seems to have done some strange things to the colours, especially where the washes have been used, the green in particular!
All of them look slightly 'wrong' colourwise, but do show some angles not posted before.
The flash also makes them look shiney, although they are not.
It also helps pick out the things that need finishing off, like the walkways and ladders! ::)

Starting off with some new views of the 'Temple' pieces;




This view shows a good view of the multiple levels of scaffolding not so noticable in any previous shots


























A couple of the Green Griffon







I will post a few more later, and some of the pieces on the table that were bought pre-painted so that those that have not already seen thes items can see a few things that can quickly help fill a table with little effort.

That is WONDERFUL; it will take some enjoyably spent time pouring over each photo to pick up all the little details...& steal them. That should keep me out of trouble...for awhile. Thanks for posting the HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL pics, & KEEP'EM COMING!

I just noticed the old Mage Knight castle pieces. Haha! Very nice!  lol

Those pieces were so versatile and well done. I'm always glad to see when people adapt them for other games.
