So, last time around I showed you a knight and his squire. Now he's gotten a bit of gold, a bit of wear and tear and has started an adventure into Mordheim! So here he is together with his warband:



... and there they might run into this recently painted classic:

mm, yess. This is good stuff. I need to battle this guy at some point.

I like the little narrative around the knight and squire - something I try to do myself as well: It is a lot o ffun visualising the little guys as characters.

I just took a couple of photos more for my various warbands - this time around its all about my slowly expanding Desert Empire which primarily consists of Celtos Elves with a diverse gathering of other miniatures and races all unified by the same theme.


To start it all off, here's my Wizard of the Water Dragon.


A rogue Necromancer.


And the first of many warriors for the Desert Empire.


And a single Palace Guard.

And while I was at it, I figured I'd snap a quick shot of one of the many mercenaries that can be found in the setting:


An elven Gladiator who has turned to mercenary work.

@Affun:
I always try to create some form of narrative around my miniatures; especially when I'm painting these sort of skirmish style warbands. It adds a lot to the game when playing - even if it's only in my head. I might even start giving them names at some point!

And sure thing - we need to get in a battle at some point; possibly at Horisont? :)

Sounds fine to me.  :D Ill look at the collection and figure out a warband.

The elves look nice as well - I like the idea of desert elves: Pretty cool and different. I've been meaning to get som eCeltos miniatures to paint for quite a bit, but there always seem to be something else that I have to get first.

Love the paintwork, and the choice of colours.  Really dig that rogue necromancer figure.

Love the fleshtones on those desert folk! And love the sacred aqua color of their garb.

Please, where is that rogue necromancer from? He is very cool.

OUTSTANDING STUFF! The mix of various mini maker's wares along with some SPLENDID brushwork gives your War Bands character, each with its own WONDERFULLY unique look. VERY WELL DONE!
