Eyestabba's WiP Pit Fighters

Hey all, been a while since I posted here. In fact it has been so long (2011..) it was easier to just make a new account instead of trying to recover my old one (Alcaeus) with my old email :p

Anyway, my friends dragged me back into Mordheim, the horror! We had about six games now, 3 of which I played with a Pit Fighter and 3 with an Undead band. The undead band is for later though, here are my WiP's for the Pit Fighters.

I used the Marauder kit as a basis, with a lot of cutting, sculpting, repositioning and borrowing from other kits. I'll give a short description of what I did for each model. All the heros were given crests of sorts to help distinguish them on the battlefield. Names and background lore will follow soon enough


A group shot to start things off


Pit King, Chaos style:
Chaos Warrior legs, maurauder torso, shield and repositioned flail, empire knight head.


Troll Slayer:
This is just Garagrim from the Storm of Chaos campaign.


Veteran, Undead style:
Marauder base with a Tomb King skeleton sword, left Empire knight arm with addes spike, carved out Tomb King skeleton head glued to the helmet as a faceplate, the crest was cut out of plasticard. I also sculpted some mummy wraps.


Veteran, Orc style:
Orc chariot(?) shield, Orc skull from the Skulls set as a helmet, crest from plasticard and a lot of extra sculpted fur/hair.


Pursuer Hero, Skink style (lad's got talent)
Skink javelin and shield, other lizardmen bits for decoration.


Pit Fighter, Orc style:
Orc shield, Orc mandible from the Skulls set glued to a Chaos Warrior helmet.


Pit Fighter, Orc style:
Orc shield, Orc skull from the Skulls set shaved down and glued to a Chaos Warrior helmet, sculpted some extra fur.


Pit Fighter: Empire style:
Empite Militia greatsword and head, thigh plates are cut up lizardmen bits, sculpted on some extra biceps, mail skirt and a nipple piercing (was specifically requested by my fellow players :p)


Pursuer, Skink style:
Skink shield and javelin, Chaos Warrior helmet with the horns clipped off.


Pursuer, Skink style:
Skink shield and javelin.


And last but not least, my Pit Fighter Ogre:
Used the Blood Bowl Ogre as a base. Chaos sword as a spike for his gauntlet, Chaos Warrior mace in his other hand, the hand itself is actually from an orc. I clipped away some armor plates and spikes so it resembles light armour a bit more, which revealed a more roman looking armor on his right arm. I had to sculpt his left shoulder and strap back. I shaved down the heavy armoured blocks on his left arm, and sculpted some extra "scales" which will all be painted to resemble leather "manica" armour. He succesfuly took a hail of arrows one game so I added some broken off arrows (paperclips). Because I had no idea about how to get a helmet on his head, I decided to give him a surgical metal skull cap instead (I sculpted some skin flapping about).



Hope you guys like it? Feedback is always appreciated (especially concerning the loadouts xD), more will be coming soon!

Owww that looks really good already! Can't wait to see them painted

That is already a SPLENDID looking Gang. They will look fantastic when painted. WELCOME BACK!

These are fantastic. Love the GS work. Pit King looks suitably bloated off of his victories, and the Garagrim is a classic sculpt.
All in all 5/5 bags of popcorn and two sodas, great job!
Have you done well with them in your 3 games?

This is what I love about Mordheim! Great conversions! Really done well!
