Hrimfar's new Mordheim board (WIP)

Great work! I really like the hirst-arts-thingie-idea, but isn´t it a bit heavy when all parts are made from plaster?

I use dental plaster which is a little bit lighter than regular hobby plaster. And yeah, it weighs in at about 1-2 kilograms but to be honest that only helpts keeping it firm on the gamingtable. the base is foamcore as is the second story and above, also balsawood is really light and helps keeping the weight down...

Here's another picture (sorry about the lack of quality)


Also, the vaults under the first storey.


Here's the small building I built last year, almost finished painting it now!

Both buildings look TERRIFIC! I love the shot through the arches...GREAT bit of atmospheric photography. VERY WELL DONE!

Allright! Time for a little update. Due to my group not meeting for some action this weekend I finished up another building I've been working on. It's supposed to be some kind of merchantshouse with storage at the top floor.

Now that's really COOL! The base with all those LOVELY arches is FANTASTIC...I love the braced up keystone. OUTSTANDING WORK!

I really like the design on these, keep it up!

Love it, more!

love it. The broken floors are great and I like the timber holding up/replacing the arch.

I'm sorry to say, but I'm running out of balsawood and the closest store to get it is like 1h away. But I'll get it, eventually. As for now we had a streetfight this weekend and I took a few pictures with my mobile device, they are a bit grainy (since my opponent has a really dark apartment) but with some colour adjustment they are looking ok.

This was a multiplayer scenario (the lost prince somthing) and nobody won! When I got hold of the poor lad, a crossbowbolt suddenly flew out of the dark and hit him in the throat! It was a sad day for the father who lost his son...





My band of Marienburgers are advancing at a fast pace through the ruins...

That is one great looking table, even if the light is not that good. The terrain pieces looked good all by themselfes, but now together and on the cobblestone-ish tabletop, it makes me want to play a game right now!

That is a SPECTACULAR looking gaming table. The dark photos actually add to the dark Mordheim atmosphere...the Marienburgers look TERRIFIC in their setting. VERY WELL DONE!

My distant & often indifferent games & hobby/craft stores are all at least an hour away...one way that is. SO I can identify with your balsa woes.

Superb work! I had forgotten about this thread. I'm really glad you managed to paint up so many amazing terrain pieces and take very atmospheric pictures of them!

Great! Really cool looking table! As DeafNala wrote the dark photos add to the atmosphere!

That is some impressive work Hrimfar. I don't think many gamers can boast about owning a cool gaming board and lots of characterful scenery and a nicely painted warband... But I know you can!

The work on your gaming board is impressive with the amount of cobblestones, and the gully you carved out looks really awesome. I love your buildings, specially the ones with the stone arches on the ground floor. Well done!

Allright, time for an update!

I've been working on a graveyard for my Mordheim board. I've gone with an elevated thing, to block line of sight and to work as a building of sorts. Building it, I used the GW Guarden of morr kit and some Renedra generic tombstones. Here's what I've done so far:

Woaaah, awesome! That is certainly a nice centre piece for your board. Great work on cutting out the rocks and the stairs! It looks great for fighting skirmishes or as an objective. Believe it or not, but I'm just back from town and I've bought...a Garden of Morr! What you've done with it comes pretty close to my own idea. I'd like to add the GW trees to it, but I'm finding them a little expensive...

The Graveyard has TREMENDOUS potential...the elevation adds a lot to the overall effect. The broken stairs leading up to the upper level are EXCELLENT. GREAT WORK!

I like how you shaped foamboard! Very nice work!

I like it vary much. Great idea for the grave.

The one thing I noticed if it's not too late to change would be the broken tombstone (pic 2) is I think if you stood up the base and also broke up the "broken" edges some.
This way the tombstone isn't knocked over and cut but was broken off and part is still in the ground.
You could even plant it closer to the ledge and have the broke part down the cliff.

Nice boneyard.

Great use of the Garden of Morr there. You've really gotten the most out of that kit... All your terrain is very atmospheric, but I think this graveyard will be the best piece so far.

Really like what I'm seeing here. Those hirst arts molds really have a look and feel to them and they way you used them brings forward the ruined look. I also like the way you did your floors.
All of these go in my inspiration folder for sure.
Latest piece is really cool too, can't wait to see progress on it

Allright, time for an update. I've almost finished the graveyard, there's only some minor detailing left. I really think I should have moved the broken tombstone as pervavita pointed out, mabe I'll do that in the future!

Anyways, here's some pictures:

LOOKIN' GOOD! It has definite Halloween potential. TERRIFIC WORK!

VERY cool stuff. It looks like the fun you're having with this board is well worth the time you put in to it!
