Pocket Mordheim (1:72) Update march 20th [ | ] Mini: 22/24

Hi Everyone!

Here's my very first update. I have cut 56 miniatures, (almost one warband) from their sprue and here are the first 14 that i have based so far. (i'm going for WYSIWYG )

These will be designed as leader choices, so expect gold to be abundant in use

I'm going for a crusader / templar theme.



The based mini's a complete overview:

Close up #2:


So what do you guys think?

Wow they're very impressive minis! A lot of detail for such a small scale, look forward to seeing them painted!

Yeah, their level of detail is awesome given their small size... I' anxious to see how they will look painted.

VERY NICE, INDEED!

There are quite alot of works of art in 15mm/ 1:72, both in plastic & metal. You've picked out some gems there. They'll make a VERY COOL warband [reasonable price too, I'd imagine].

My only problem with scales smaller than 28/32mm is that my old eyes can't focus on anything that small for a prolonged period, like long enough to do them justice with a brush. I'll have to leave the little guys for you younger men. HOWEVER, I'd LOVE to see how the lads turn out!

Love them, but round...bases....confusing...me...

Yeah, well, since the euro got introduced, they cancelled out our square coins... sorry!

what's wrong about round bases? it looks better IMHO than the square ones... even though they are harder to put up in a regiment later-on (I use some of my mordheim characters in WHFB) plusss, they are slightly better balanced, as they have a bigger base and no short edges....

On topic:

nicely detailed indeed! though... a question arose.... how are you gonna handle them running about small (in this case REALLY small alleyways and buildings?

with a pair of tweezers

haha back on topic, the alleys can't be bigger than 2cm (3/4") you can use a pencil or rangeruler to move them, or just take away a building to move them then replace the building.

a bit of creativity goes a long way!

Thanks for all these inspiring comments

I'll go start painting them this week

Hi all!

After today's painting session, this is what I have done! I have tried to do some shading with 2 color layers (dark to light) I hope it paid off! Let's hear some some comments please

Crusader Archer:

Hi all! sorry for being silent so long

A new update has arrived! some W.I.P. here and one finished model:



Enjoy!

those models are TINY yet very well detailed and your painting is amazing on that scale Good work? What other warbands can you do in that scale with available models?

I can do:

Dwarves,
Orcs and Goblins
Undead-ish thinking about tomb kings or the undead warband.

elves i have too. could do pitfighters i think. (however i don't think i will do these since they are quite unbalanced.)


after these i could try modeling some skaven-ish models or lizardmen myself



More finished crusaders Here

Are you referring to the original Pit Fighters from TC14, or the updated ones from TC21? The updated ones work pretty well, and are balanced IMO. They don't have missile weapons, limited to using sets of items (Pit Styles) and can hold their own in CC. They cost a lot, 50gc is for your cheapest unit, but they work well.

I would like to see which models you would put for Pit Fighters though.

PFT: were can I get these new rules?

As they are in TC 21, I'd suggest you try this thread.

New WiP!

(well they only need basing... but it's still WiP )

VERY NICE STUFF! I think you've achieved the feel of a Crusading War Band WONDERFULLY. You've GOT to post a group shot when the Lads are all done. WELL DONE!

Cool stuff Paluke!

The models look really Mordheim-ish! Can't wait for more!

Thank you for being kind to take time to look and post

It really gives me the spirit to keep on going!

Next up will be a barbarian (a conan look-a-like)

Nice minis! (Conan? Any relation to Cuchulain?)

May be Thrud. Mordheim could us a massively muscular Pinhead Barbarian.

Conan W.I.P.

Reference Picture

I did try to keep the team colors intact (red/white) other than that I tried to mimic conan .

Enjoy!

Hey, the governor of California!

And cool miniature! However, it is still a little shiny.

Cool! But is it supposed to be Cuchulain?

Hey, my state needs its governor back so he can terminate the budget defecit (with that big sword)

Fun looking mini. If you can get a pic where his face isn't in shadow, that'd be cool. Can't see what his expression is currently.

cheers!

@Eliazar yes it is shiny for some reason.. all my mini's have a little glare but this one more.. it's the devlan mud wash i applied.. it will go down after i used mat varnish.

@ identity will try to make a better one soon when his base is done!
