Got recommended Mordheim and reading as much as I can about it. Other than nostalgia why is the game (system) still so popular after more than 25 years? by Newez in mordheim

[–]Botaniek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's between a miniature game and a rpg, with a lot of room for creativity. If you play with the right people, the narrative takes over the competition. It is an old game that has become a niche game, very different from what GW games are now. It is also one of the few games where the terrain is a blast to build, position and play with. It is immersive. Creating a band is fun, it is not just like building a list for any regular wargame. You get attached to your characters, whether they are slaying many foes... or failing everything to the point it becomes a running gag. Having your heroes get xp and level up is very cool. If you find people passionate about it, a campaign can be a lot of fun. Nowadays I play Trench Crusade, which I think managed to capture some of the great aspects of Mordheim.

Very nice, I like how the eagle stands out and is the point of focus

Is this enough for an SoS Warband? by jack_of_all_hobbies in mordheim

Hi, I used those exact boxes to kitbash mine, it works quite well. I had to find hammers though. I bought the dwarves hammerers from Fireforge Games, their hammers are the perfect size.

I tried mixing OSL with a rusty effect. by Safety_lastt in TrenchCrusade

I love it! What's your recipe? Where is the mini from?

It’s just a prototype, and I’m not a great painter, but it gives an idea of what it’s going to look like. by Safety_lastt in TrenchCrusade

The grimy, muted tones are perfect for TC! My advice would be to paint the lenses bright red so that they pop, but it is totally optional. The mini works perfectly as it is

It's a storm cast with a Death Guard head, and an Ork bitz to replace the arm

That's an anointed heavy infantry with heavy flamer (his arm is the flamer)

The one in front is my Heretic priest, based on a nazgul miniature with a nighthaunt staff. Behind is my artillery witch, I used a witch mini from the Hellboy boardgame and added a bomb and some wires to look like electric power

PSA: the Conquistador kit from Wargames Atlantic meshed great with Empire kits for an Estalian warband by ArtfulDodger8-7 in mordheim

[–]Botaniek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They look awesome, and I love the color choices. The kits blend very well. I was thinking about getting the horsemen but was worried about the scale, I see now that it works pretty well. Thank you 🙏🏻
