From SanderS: A Mordheim Tale (55 points)

 Hoi there,


So after bragging I will be doing lot's of GW stuff this Challenge and mostly Old World stuff, I have to put my money where my mouths is don't I? Mordheim has been a favourite of mine for a long time but just like with the Bretonnians, I had a limited budget back in the day so couldn't buy what I liked. In recent years that has changed and I have been keenly collecting stuff for Mordheim games and with a burgeoning club in my direct region with a lot of people wanting to play Mordheim I decided it's time to get cracking.

Today's post brings you my Witchhunter band, I have quite a lot of bands at the moment but this one I wanted to try out on the table a lot.

There's 4 characters with the Captain Ernest Pügelmann leading them.





Two more witchhunters to get at the heretics and witches for real.







Last of the heroes is the Warrior Priest, this is actually the Warhammer Quest model




To complement the heroes I have two groups of henchmen; one of Flagelants and one of Zealots. Both are not beefed out yet and I want some warhounds too but have only played one game to date, so I need to earn some more goldcoins in order to get reinforcements.

Zealots:




Flagelants:



Last Friday we played a 3 player Christmas game from the excellent fan made Yuleheim supplement, for this I printed 3 Christmas trees and converted them (I will take pictures for a later post) 




As these are Oldhammer figures I will also enter these in the Oldhammer Side Duel and since there are 11 figures, I will enter them for 55 points. 

Cheers Sander

Sylvain: This whole post oozes passion for Mordheim and it makes for a pleasant read. I love the characterful miniatures and how you personalized each of them with vibrant colors. These new addition will hopefully prolong the social pleasure of gaming with your newfound club. C'est exquis!

  2. Nice witch hunters, Sander! I played with them 20 years ago (with proxy minis) and liked them a lot. Any reason for different thickness bases you have here?

    1. the bases differ because the figures were initially intended for different game systems. The warrior priest is based on a Heroquest base as I wanted to use him for that game. The flagelants are originally from my Empire army and the other figures still await 25x25mm bases so are now actually standing on frostgrave bases that I will use as basetoppers

  3. What a wonderful looking band of cutthroats and thieves, Sander! A worthy entry for the Old World challenge.

  4. Curt uses the words wonderful looking band, I think the words nasty, dangerous or just bad ass would suit them better but I would agree with wonderful when it comes to the paint job, really well done

  13. Classic old school goodies - surely a GW mordheim reboot is next up after the success of necromunda and the old world?

    1. I am afraid not, it would be great but they have recently released a game called Cursed City and with that they seem to be content in filling the spot for a fantasy skirmish game.

  16. Great post Sander. We to had many Mordheim battles in the days of ole GW. I was a beast as low rollers keep your warband in the game. The very same figures stare longingly from my shelf. Too many games too little time. Brush work is great and enjoy.
