Some scenic components

Hello!

These last few days, after our Big Meetup here in Vienna, I've been possessed by some demonic soul and I've been making a lot of scenery for Mordheim.
To be honest, I have been inspired a lot by Erkwin's scenery, because he brought a lot of objects with him for the big meetup, like little tables, little benches, little chests, etc... I thought that these scenic components added a lot of details in the streets of mordheim, so I tried to make my own.

Tell me what you think!


This is a little weapon's rack, abandoned by an unknown soldier, with rusty and unusable weapons; and an archery target.


Two barrels.


This is a table, useful for finding cover in an open area. I stole inspired myself from Erkwin's table, the one he brought to Vienna.


That's a little WIP, soon to be painted, one-wheeled cart lost in the dark streets of the city of the damned.


WIP bridge. I "borrowed" the idea from this very forum, actually from the scenery of the Flame On battle reports (I'm talking about this bridge)

I'm still planning to make some other stuff, but I'm afraid to start painting cause my drybrushing sucks (especially for wood)...

That's some great stuff! I like the target a lot - simple but effective work! And the cart looks damn professional to me!

Wow!!! I absolutely love it! Adds a lot of character to any board. There is really nothing I love more than a pile of great details on a board. and these are absolutely AWESOME!! Bravo! Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff, gets a ''feeling'' into Mordheim

I KNEW I COULD DO IT! I TOLD YOU!

again very good work my only additive is to glue some arrows on the archery target

and either some daggers or a 2handed axe, would add some humor

awesome extras for your buildings

What did you make the wheel/cart out of?

You haven't been home long enough to do ALL THOSE UNBELIEVABLY COOL PIECES!! You're probably right about the Daemonic Possession, but fear not the Templars of Holy Sigmar are on their way. Soon your Soul will be free of this Foul Being [of course otherwise you'll be a Crisy Critter ]!

Really WONDERFUL STUFF Tortiou. The target, rack, barrels, table [nice piece of theft ], bridge/walkway [ditto ], AND especially the wagon [shouldn't the axle be up on a cement block?] are VERY WELL DONE!, AND the subject of future acts of larceny! BRAVO, ENCORE!

I've been considering putting a few of these mini 'flair' terrain elements together myself ^_^. Thanks for some additional ideas!

TG is having a "1-inch base terrain competition" which is designed just for this kind of stuff!

*Sorry *

that cart is excellent. i'm stealing it. I'm not even going to copy the idea, i'm packing my bags for tortiou's place and i'm grabbing that cart.

Thanks for all your comments guys! It's really encouraging!

Just simple balsa wood. For the axle, I used a broken IKEA pencil because it's more solid (you can still see the tip of it when you look closely at the center of the wheel)

Yeah, this idea crossed my mind, but I don't have any arrows! as for the HtH combat weapons, that's a great idea, thanks for the tip!

OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!!!

Great Work!

WOW! I just noticed [observation abilities on a par with an Earth Worm's] The Cart of Larcenous Attentions is carrying a coin the size of a manhole cover! TREASURE!The Red Brotherhood is on their way!

@ DeafNala

LOL. I see pencil part now. That is brillant. I will keep that in mind as I want to make a few carts also.

I just tried to get the terrain on ebay that was in TC27 but someone else wanted more than me.

You mean Jason Foss' article "Re-building the city"? Do you have a link to the auction? I'd love to see it!

EDIT: Found it! God, it's so stylish to have these pieces. But some of this stuff (most actually) reached incredibly low prices. What a shame for the creator...

Could you post the link please Cianty?

Sure!

Here are a few selected pics that show the awesome level of detail he put into the buildings (warning, they won't exist for long as they are from ebay directly).








Lastly, I apologize for getting so off topic, Tortiou. However, the many small gimmicks like the shelf, the picture frames, wanted posters etc. are also sort of scenic component so consider this post additional inspiration!

Thanks cianty,

wow... their all very nice, good to look at for ideas

You're not getting off topic, amigo! That's exactly what the title says : "some scenic components" - all inspirational stuff should be posted here.

I even think you should save the pictures on your computer and put them on a safer storage web site (other than ebay) and then re-post them, to make sure they are not erased!

Thanks for the links

I know I should... but I'm lazy

if you want some, i have enough for you

Bored Duce at work saves the day..

already took the pics for myself for ideas.



enjoy

For the arrows, some wire with small bits of card or such glued on work fine if your piercing them into the target. Or even some thin bulsa bits as the shaft may be enough

Good job with the pics, mate!

Or maybe I should re-open my old Lego crates and use the old bows they had for their medieval knights... *desperate sighing*
