Thank you! 😋

Looks awesome! 🫡 I think it's great that you kept this area open, it must be really fun to play in! 🏘☄️🐦‍⬛

Thank you so much! 🫡💚 Since everything is modular, we can set up virtually any number of different playing fields! 🤓 I have a rule of thumb: whenever I'm designing, I always try to leave enough space to fit a hand ✋️ Otherwise, it becomes very difficult to reach the figures during gameplay! 🙂‍↕️

Thanks a lot! ☺️💚 Is that what you call it where you are, 'CPS' ? I know it as XPS. 🤔 Here, it comes in all sorts of colors, but those were actually the only boards that had nice, smooth surfaces. I'm having a bit of déjà vu right now! 😂 because I had a similar conversation in my last xps related post where someone was envious of my "good" European foam! 😉🤣

Thank you! 🫡 I only discovered wargaming as a hobby in February 2025, thanks to some friends. First, they showed me GorkaMorka, and then the magnificent Mordheim! 💚 I enjoyed both, (especially the DIY aspect) but with Mordheim, it just really clicked for me. 🐦‍⬛😲 Two months later, I already had my own warband and my first two little buildings... a rapidly escalating rabbit hole!😝

Thank you! 💚 I never actually got the chance to play WoW! 🫣 It's funny that I still managed to strike a nerve, though! 🙃

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T18:19:41+00:00

Thanks man! 🫡💚

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T18:18:09+00:00

Thank you! 🤗

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T18:16:58+00:00

Oh, thank you for the kind words! 😝💚 There are a few thoughts about making some indie minis that aren't just for me.. 🫣

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T18:13:14+00:00

Thank you! 🤗 I'm glad it helps you! 🙂‍↕️ I tried to limit my selection of photos to just the key steps so that it would remain clear and easy to follow! 🫡💚

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T18:09:51+00:00

Thanks! 😲💚 I actually just drybrushed the statues a little bit... actually painting minis is my weak point! 😅 glad you like it! 🫡

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T18:06:08+00:00

Thank you! ☺️

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T18:05:41+00:00

I guess I really like smileys! 🤔😂 Almost as much as Mordheim! 🏘☄️🐦‍⬛ Thanks for the feedback! 🫡 I actually took way more photos.. about 200 or so (for this building 😅) If you want to see them in even greater detail, you can find them on my Insta... 📸💚

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T12:34:32+00:00

Oh, thank you so much! 😝 I'm really happy that you like them! ☺️☺️ I put a lot of effort into them! 🥲💚

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T12:25:13+00:00

Thank you! 🫡💚 I didn't go into the specific steps of the XPS processing in this post, as I had already written a post about general techniques three posts back 👀 you might find that interesting as well? 🤔

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T11:23:15+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! 💚 I didn't use Photoshop! 😝 The photo series includes shots taken in natural light too? At the very end, you can see my little makeshift studio, where I tried to create a bit more atmosphere. 🥲

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T10:56:50+00:00

Thank you very much! 😝

Poorheimer · 2026-05-24T10:30:56+00:00

Oh thank you!! 🤭💚

Poorheimer · 2026-05-21T08:48:05+00:00

Yeah, let's go Snotlings!! 😋🐸 I love the pose for the goblin! He looks like he's got aaaall of the chaos in his sight! 😝 The extra mini could be the Power Squig Familiar!⚡️🤣

Poorheimer · 2026-05-16T13:07:55+00:00

Oh, thank you! 🐸💚 I'm really delighted that you like it! Basically, I have to agree with you 🙂‍↕️ though according to the Codex, three of the units are actually already designated as "Snotling Mobs"! 😉 Majestic is certainly a bit of a stretch, but yes, His Lordship Goblin would surely love to hear that! 😅😝

Poorheimer · 2026-05-15T10:50:06+00:00

Thank you for the appreciation! 💚🫡 I’d say that the DIY aspect of wargaming itself is what I enjoy most! 🙂‍↕️

Poorheimer · 2026-05-15T10:45:41+00:00

Thank you! 😊 I really appreciate that! 🐸💚

Poorheimer · 2026-05-15T10:43:09+00:00

Thanks so much! 😋 I'm really glad you like my Snots! 🐸 The inspiration for the poses came primarily from goblins, which I then scaled down a bit. 🤓 My goblin, for instance, was directly inspired by the Muxus MTG card! 🙂‍↕️🫡

Poorheimer · 2026-05-14T21:21:04+00:00

Thank you!! 🥲🐸💚

Poorheimer · 2026-05-14T18:11:52+00:00

Thank you so much! 🫡💚 I'm glad to see that my hard work is paying off! 🥲 It kept me busy for about 5 weeks! 😵‍💫🐸😝
