Hello All,

The names Andy and I'm returning to Mordheim after a long hiatus.

I've been into RPGs and wargames for a long while now. I meet every Wednesday night with the my RP group. Recently We've been playing WFRP although D&D tends to be our main stay.

I last played Mordheim a long while ago, when I was still in school. In those days we only used the contents of the box set with poorly put together Skaven and human mercs; of course they never ever seen a paint brush. Its amazing to think that despite how long I've been into the genre I only painted my first miniature around this time last year. Since then my painting has been rather infrequent and so hasn't improved much.

I'm a member of the Lead Adventure forums, and the inspiration to visit Mordheim came from Cianty's excellent Geirburg project. I wish I had a fraction of his talent!

Before I forget please forgive the stupid questions that I'll ask!

Cheers
Andy

You're forgiven for questions of ANY variety you should choose to ask...asking stupid questions is one of my own specialties. SO...WELCOME ABOARD Fearless Leader Tom's Yet Cool Notwithstanding Mordheim Forum. Have a LONG & MERRY stay!

Welcome!

Glad my spreading terror on other boards pays off.

Welcome, Andy!

I am mainly a RPG-er too. Haven't played WHFRP, but I have all the 2nd edition books, I think (fun to look through). We mainly play D&D 3.5, although we recently gave Paizo's Pathfinder (D&D 3.75) rules a spin, and like them pretty well too. Although there are occasional lulls, my wife and I and friends have played Mordheim pretty constantly since it was released. We have even figured out how to "Mordheimize" our D&D characters for a few sessions of the current campaign we are running (the PCs are involved in a war).

Again, welcome to TBMF. See you on the boards!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

mweaver, our group never made it past AD&D 2nd Edition... I joined the group later and despite owning 3E and then later 3.5/True20 I couldn't get them to switch. The groups pretty big on the nights when everyone turns up there are 10 of us although lately there has been a core of 7 playing most of the time. As you can imagine combats are slow and at higher levels can be laborious. Recently we've looked at Savageworlds as a possible solution to this.

I can only apologise to everyone else, I currently don't have a great amount of time and between working, studying and my other main hobby (mountaineering) I can find it hard to fit in any wargaming. C'est la vie.

I'm painting a couple of beastmen just now. I've got two colours schemes in mind, I'm hoping to post both and receive critique/feedback before deciding which one to ultimately go for.

Cheers
Andy

I would recommend not combining your two hobbies, mountaineering and painting miniatures. I should think painting while climbing would be a real bad idea.

The only way that I can think of combining both hobbies is by painting these guys:


Although, they seem a little old school... I mean seriously where are the Goretex jackets!?!

Did you do those guys? Nice job!

Love the pulp-style adventure look

Ha no I never painted them; sorry for the confusion! They are pulp figures miniatures.

I can't paint like that!

Nor can I, alas.
