40k Blanchitsu Eldar

Here's a little one-off project, and the most Blanchitsu model I've built. I set myself the challenge of scratch-building a model in one day and painting it the next, and this is the result. Having not made anything (A)elfy before I wanted to make a real alien-looking being. It was gonna be a Dark Eldar at the start, but the build process was improvised and the model got more ambiguously Aeldari as it developed. By the time I added the Bretonnian horse-shaped helm the model looked more like an Aeldari Dire Avenger than a Drukari Bad Guy, so Aeldar xe is.

Age of Sigmar - Relic Lizardmen

Since there's some Lizardish rumblings coming from Games Workshop, I'm gonna reveal an Age of Sigmar project I've had on the backburner for a few months: Relic Lizardmen. While AoS's Seraphon are their own thing, and Daemons of Order is a cool idea, I'm aiming with this project to rehabilitate the Lizardmen of Lustria as gribbly monster-people: dinosaurian, antediluvian, insectile, chimeric, malarial, amphibian, bug-eyed, hexapodal, photosynthetic, piscine, exotic, Mesozoic, grotesque, earthy. Unlike the Chaotic beastmen, the Relic Lizardmen aren't mutants but an evolving and proliferating species of terriffic biodiversity. That doesn't jibe with being made of starlight and moonbeams, so instead these Lizardmen are a remnant group, living fossils that survived the destruction of the Old World.

Mordheim Bretonnians

Who goes into Mordheim wearing blue and yellow stripes? Only a very particular class of badass. Bretonnian warband pics below the jump.

Denizens of Mordheim – Skaven Master Assassin

Here's something that grew out of the leftover bits from my Cult of the Possessed Warband. The only Skaven parts in this Skaven are the head and feet. I think he makes for a cool solo character, which is great since I don't feel like making up a full Skaven warband! More pics below the jump.

Mordheim Mercenaries – Ostlanders

Being in a good place with Mordheim, I swung for one last warband: Ostlanders. One of the more characterful teams under the umbrella of Human Mercenaries. A cool thing about the Mordheim setting is how it teases out the cultural differences in regions of the Empire (R.I.P. The Old World).

Roster for this as yet nameless gang below the jump:

Mordheim Mercenaries – Wederverkrijgingsgilde Expeditionary Company

The Magpies are complete at long last! A "quick project" to make a Mordheim company in the style of an old Dutch Schutterstuk kept me going for a full four months. Pictures below the jump.

Denizens of Mordheim – The Undead

Many grim and grody things creep the streets of Mordheim. Lady Mazıroğlu's zombie henchmen are a thrifty make-do bits-box dive both IRL and in-setting.

Denizens of Mordheim – Cult of the Possessed

Well, I had enough leftover bits to make one or two new models and then… things escalated… My Mordheim tinkering has borne even more conversions. Here's my Chaos cult. Background, roster, and photographs below the jump.

Mordheim Expeditionary Company – painting update and roster

After a lot of sculpting my Mordheim mercenaries are getting their first coats of paint. Here's some background…

Mordheim

My next project after the Lamians Slaanesh squad was initially going to be an Age of Sigmar warband. During the Christmas break though, I was struck with an idea for a Mordheim mercenary gang that I could make from my bits box. AoS is taking a back seat until that's done!
