From ArthurS: Mushrooms in Averland! (40 points?)

 Hello everyone,

I am sorry my posts have been a bit delayed lately, due to school and other hobbies. But luckily I finally had some time to do some painting.

I started painting my Averland warband for Mordheim and I painted these cute little mushrooms.

For my warband I chose black and teal. I know these colours don’t really fit Averland but I just thought they were a nice colour combination.





The figures are all plastic North Star Frostgrave knights miniatures and a converted Blood Bowl Halfling which I liked a lot. One of the reasons I like this warband for Mordheim is that you can add Halflings.

The mushrooms are 5 small ones and 1 big one with a frog on it. I thought it would be a nice idea to give the mushrooms a hardcoat (gloss varnish) on top to make it look a bit more magical.



Counting points is a bit tricky, because while the Frog magician and the Mordheim warband are all 28mm figures (6x 5 = 30 points) the little mushrooms are far smaller. I measured them and they are about 15mm so I reckon 2 points each? (5 x2 = 10) Together that makes 40 points to get me off the 5 points I have now. Curt persuaded me before the Challenge to set my target at 300 points instead of my own estimate of 100 and I do doubt that I am ever going to reach that 300, the 100 would be possible I guess.

Groetjes Arthur

Greetings Arthur!

Great to see what you’ve been working on! I do like your teal and black colour scheme .. who cares if not exactly approval, you like the colours and that’s the best thing 😊

The magical mushrooms are aces, and I bet they will be well used as tabletop decor or objective markers.

Don’t worry too much about a 300point goal, Curt also talked me into that goal and I now know that there’s no way I’ll be meeting it … so you and I will be very happy with achieving what we can!

Thanks for sharing these

  1. Those are some fine mushrooms and the colours you chose for Mordheim warband look great. It is fantasy world and I think Dutch warbands (or like) are not all orange? :)
