Mordheim Report #11

My Possessed warband is getting there. Only two Possessed, one Gor, and a few henchmen to go. This time I got Gor, Magister and a Mutant ready, who are posing in the first row in pic below.


Here's the box I have for them. Custom slots for the metallics, and one size slots for plastics.
I've not yet done all the henchmen since I really don't know how many or what kind I need or want besides the three Gors.

Bought a board game

I got Caverna like a month ago. One of the best games I've ever bought.
It's almost like Minecraft survival mode. You need to sow grain and build fencing for animals to keep your dwarven family fed, and also mine tunnels for minerals and space to build additional rooms.
The game comes with a huge box filled to the brim with thick cardboard tiles and wooden tokens, and was pretty messy setting up the first time. The game really needed an insert to keep it organized. And now it has one!

Two pouches are missing in this pic. The player tokens and player aid cards.

The box is pretty big. Picture shortens it a bit, it's much taller than most board game boxes.
Half of its height is used by the many game boards it came with, and the other half by my inserts.

In other news...

Mordheim report #10,5 I guess...


Got some smaller things going on whilst prepping on doing those bigger buildings.
Six fences, six ladders and couple of bridges.


Aaand one simple detail I made. Going to make a stamp mold out of this, so I can get cooler wooden details. Like tables, shelves, stools and such.

Mordheim Report #10 - Bring More Men!

Finished up a few more members for my warband.
Below is Snakebeast (Gor), and Darksoul rounding up the painted henchmen types. Other painted ones shown here were Brethren.

And here is my first hero, a Mutant. I gave him some extra attention with a few extra highlight layers. 
I'm a lazy painter and am always trying to get the job done with the least amount of effort as possible, but painting this dude was the first time that I really was enjoying myself mixing the paints and doing more layers (didn't actually end up doing that many, because I wanted to be finished in one evening). I'm now hoping to get that groove on for my Possessed and Magister too!

Mordheim Report #9

IT IS DONE! The inn and the tower are now finished! Took me a long time to actually force myself not to dabble any more with them. Learned a lot, and hopefully remember what I did for my next buildings.

Here's the full set. The road below can be rolled inside the tower for safekeeping.

One tiny detail I'm proud of is the "enviction notice" on the door. A quick and dirty sculpt followed by a quick and dirty mold, and then stamped with toy clay. The two layer paint job also ended up working.

Here are some of the many toy clay bits painted, the boxes and barrels, the shields on the far side wall, and the stony window frame on tower. Also notice the small shelf in the tower.

Window flaps are also stamped with toy clay. All the torch type thingies, like the ones in the chandelier, are from DIY necklace store. They cost next to nothing, and have pretty good texture.

Next I'm planning on doing a sextet of tall and slim buildings that can be arranged to go around of a big plaza. Here's hoping that those will come together much more quickly.
