Maxxev's Fantasy Warbands

[maxxev]

So i'm modding Mordheim for the sole reason of allowing more ranges of models to take part in fights (e.g. to allow warbands to take, pets, minions, monsters, allies, etc.) along with trying to fix the armour issue. I started with Coreheim... then re-wrote a lot of the rules back to standard Mordheim and tweaked a few of my own, and now i'm working on the warband lists, whilst throwing random figures together to decide what looks "right" in a warband.....

Anway this is a Modelling thread so here we go:

First point to make is that i'm aiming for 30mm, 32mm scale so I can use Privateer press models (as I have a load of them) and Reaper figures. Main reason being is I have collected a lot of figures over the years which I have never actually used.... The majority of human figures will come from GW, but be converted to scale up to 30mm (not hard seeing as the heads, feet and hands are already there!!)

Warband 1: Southlanders.
The southlanders are very wealthy; they fight dirty and are just as willing to stab you in the back if it means they get there way rather than face you in honourable battle.

The warband to date:


The swordsmen & champion (the padded bits on thier left arms are where the shields will go once I have painted the models).


The mage (face needs work)


The assasin:


The marksmen: (swapped heads with swordsmen as I wanted 4 helmets the same for the swordsmen & champ)


The Pages (basically youngbloods):


More to come, I have at least 4 warbands on the go presently....

Looks great so far!  I love the mage, where is he from?

[Little Odo]

Looking good so far.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Rackham / Confrontation.

[Heldrak]

Very nice, but you should just call it Cadwallon and be done with it... 

[Cherno]

I was just thinking "these look more like Rackham than Games Workshop"

Here is one of the elf factions so far:


Only one figure has realy had any conversion work worth mentioning which is this lass, converted from a Reaper Grey Maiden.


And a preview of another faction:

Nice work on teh kitbashing. The Swordmen are great, and I love the kneeling down marksmen- where are the legs from?

[commissarmoody]

Who made the Girl in the South lander warband? Can we get a close up pic of her also?

Catachan actually, with the pockets shaved off

Sorry missed her didn't I.

GW militia legs shaved down / Demonette kitbash with wood elf head and arms, I had to resculpt part of the hand on her hip (head is 2nd attempt as the first one had a face mask which I carved off, looked ok in plastic but didn't work well when painted).

I have added a picture in the first post.

[commissarmoody]

That's a vary good kit bash, I would never have guessed its origins.

Some interesting conversions there!  Looking forward to seeing more.
