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!

The Lamians Slaanesh Chaos Space Marine Warband (Complete)

The Lamians Warband, complete

My Lamians Slaanesh Chaos Space Marines project was inspired by the #INQ28 setting, and its cousin #AoS28. While Space Marines are the kind of OP megaheroes frowned on in that setting, I really did want to explore niche bits of their lore – the weird grim pathos that #INQ28 looks into. So this Slaaneshi warband was built with the aim of delving into a small-scale character project in an original way.

Here's the story of the Lamians warband and their allies, the Slaan Sala Movement:

Lamians Warband: Painting Update

Group shot – The Lamians Warband

It's been a while since I posted last, because I've been knuckling down and just painting all the models at the same time. Instead of posting about 10 models in gradually decreasing states of bareness, I thought I'd hold off until they're (almost) done.

So, here they are!

"Elephant Seal" Rhino Variant

The Slaanesh Space Marine squad needed a big center-piece model. I decided on a transport vehicle, and of course I couldn't resist tinkering with it.

There are two undercurrent styles to the models in this squad: extravagant, and brutally efficient. This Rhino variant is the latter: a boxy battering ram designed to crash into the enemy and disgorge a load of evil Space Marines. I imagine it to be a rare, outdated and not very popular Rhino variant pattern called an Elephant Seal.

Making a Mounted Chaos Space Marine

There's a sixth member of the Chaos Space Marine squad I last posted. It's the most involved conversion I've done on any of the models, but the idea was cool enough that I wanted to try it.

The Chaos Marines

I'm getting a brilliant response on Instagram (@instahekatoncheires). Thanks if you follow me on there.

In the mean-time, I've made progress on the Chaos Space Marine models to the point that I think that they're more-or-less complete (give-or-take some tweaking). Here they are:
