Skavenblight & Kapitan Hak's Ostlanders

Hi guys,
I've never posted unfinished works before, but it's time for change This is the first warband we converted together (but I WILL PAINT all the minis, I'd never share this pleasure even with my own husband ). We started a week after wedding, it's such a nice way to spend the honeymoon

I wrote also the story of the family (Ostlanders are often one big family) and every single model, but I regret I can't translate it to English

The first mini is a young ruffian, son of the warband leader. The captain is not really happy that his son became a ruffian, but he couldn't do anything; his only hope is that his son will become a real man after the journey to Mordheim...

Of course... if he survives...



More pics HERE. The only version is polish, but we try to do something to make our blog more international before we do it, please forgive us (luckily, we don't need to understand any language to admire beautiful minis ).

Funny, I have been to your blog about 10 minutes ago and now I see this thread... This time I can understand a word! Yay!!

I really like this conversion. Looks funny.

What a GREAT team you two make! That's a TERRIFIC bit of modelling, AND the WIP photos allow the GOOD Kapitan to show off his handicraft before we're all overawed with your FANTASTIC painting. I'm looking forward to the evolution of the War Band. VERY WELL DONE..as usual!

Oh ye! Another Ostlander folk!! I find this ruffian truly fun.I didn't like to be in front of him in mordheim streets.Very nice.Maybe I can take some photos soon of my finished alcoholic boys (again).

It's a great mini, cool conversion!!!

(I did browse your blog as well, just before you put this on )

drunken osterlander style flying kick attack!

Haha, I've felt that way a few times. Can't wait to see him painted.

wow! that's a great dynamic pose there like he is grabbing something off a shelf, but rolls away

Next mini - a jaeger

He is son of the one of blood brothers, and one of the most talented young hunters in the village. As you see, he likes beer. And his blunderbuss







More pics HERE, we've installed a google translator on our blog; you all know perhaps that the google translator is not so... precise and may make many mistakes, although we hope you can understand anything

Very nice ! The most important is the "mini's personnality", and even if we don't read the story (that I don't really understand , no good polish-french translator, perhaps I'll try in english later), I find he has a fierce attitude and looks dangerous which reflects his personnality

Very nice work! this guy looks dangerous and drunk.I like to see 2 ostland bands posted at the same time. , keep that good work!

LR & JC ARE right on the mark: a drunk with an attitude AND a blunderbus is a VERY DANGEROUS person. The Ostlanders trademark double barrelled guns allow them to shoot BOTH of the people they're seeing.
GREAT START to a FINE Drinking Society, erm...War Band.

I hope we'll eventually manage to translate all those stories by ourselves, as this built-in online translator tends to produce many either odd and misleading or simply funny things .

Kin is like a normal warrior... but who said he has to look plain & boring? Here is Jakob, legend of his family. Maybe because of the old shield he found one day on his field... maybe because of the best vodka in Ostland that he has produced for many years... who knows?

Looking great!!! I think that the pitchfork is getting quite popular.... seen it on several minis in this forum. Even made an Dreg with a pitchfork 4 days ago. Guess the peasants are taking over Mordheim

This guy looks a drunk SOB!!!!the pitchfork is one of the most suitable weapons for ostland beerlovers.You make another mini with loooot personality.BUT I have to say that my favourite is still the blunderbuss guy , who made me poo in my pants(sorry for the vocabulary, this is the finest for a ostland villager boy )VERY NICE!!!!!!I'm waiting to see that priest of taal with a skull head.

I LOVE these Guys...it's not so much a War Band as it is a Stag Party. GREAT WIP!

Wow well done! I love the 1st drunk (ha! keg rolleing!) Lets hope he dose not get keg leg! (ha! I did it again!) I can't wait to see your squirrely (ha get it?! He is able to use squirrels! God I'm good!) priest of taal.

Love these guys! They definitely capture the drunken mountain men feel of the Ostlanders, much better than GW's minis in my opinion. The conversion work is really creative, keep up the good work!

I'm excited for the priest as well, and of course to see the finished warband painted!

Very nice! Well fitting to the Ostland scum!

Great Job i cant wait to see more!!

Since I haven't been here for a while, my comment may seem a wee bit late, but who cares;
I really LOVE the drunkard falling off the barrel! It's simple and yet a very dynamic pose. Would be pure awesomeness to paint that

Next jaeger. This time it's not a big conversion... but I love new imperial archers and I had to use all the bits in the box, also this cute dead bird...

His (the jeager's, not the bird's) name is Michael, and he is Jakob's younger brother. I hope it comes someday a possibility to translate to English his (and the whole family) story, but I'm too bad in English to do it So before it comes to this, you can only enjoy these pics

Looks like the Ostland Lads will be eating well tonight. VERY WELL DONE conversion; the pheasant is TERRIFIC! GREAT WIP!
The black & white photo effect is REALLY COOL. They look like vintage photos from the turn of the century. Before you start painting them up you should get a group shot.

Next mini - one of the ruffians.
You have to forgive him, he... he doesn't control himself so much Well, I hope the mini can be posted here... or not? Ok, let's try
