Mordheim Ruins WIP

Working on two buildings right now when I can find time in between everything else.

First off, the house of an upper-middle class merchant (or something like that):




I plan to add some dirt around the edges, maybe some static grass, to suggest a former flowerbed/garden alongside the house on top of the stone foundation. Also got to add rubble and the rest of the roof tiles.

Second, The Royal Cat Inn. Still very WIP. Gotta add stairs, indent the bricks in the areas I've stripped the paper from the foamcore, add wood around the windows and door...




And a base, and floors, and a partial roof...

Oooh they look good.
The first house is in need of some wood panneling, the inn too. Top tileing on the roof !! Good job.
The Royal Cat looks verry playable. Nice layout.

Looking forward to seeing more.

You're off to a great start with these. I like the base of the Merchant house.

I like the base of the first building. looking forward to see more of these buildings

Both pieces will be FINE LOOKING additions to the Mordheim scene...VERY IMPRESSIVE beginnings. The elevated base for the Merchant's digs is a nice touch; & I like the angles on the Royal Cat. Keep up the GOOD WORK!

where'd ya go?

Sorry, guys! I swear, I'm still here, and still building! In fact, with my snazzy new video camera, I'm planning on shooting a few videos over the coming months. And I have more stuff in progress, I'll endeavour to remember to post it tonight or tomorrow.

Actually, my excuse is that I'm being forced to work A LOT more lately (and still no raise), my entire family came from out of state for christmas and just left, and...oh, yeah...just got skyrim...

After reading your comment i just watched the trailer. Please make some screenshots for the inspiration topic!

looking forward to see more of your stuff

Sorry, got it for Xbox, and I have no idea how to screenshot that other than taking an actual picture of the TV. And that rarely works.

However, yes, it is very inspirational, although some of the buildings from Fable 3 are even better. My wife has been playing that one constantly. The buildings in Fable 3 are well suited to what I think of as typical mordheim buildings. The best part is I bought the game for her for $13.00 US. It comes in one of the new Xbox bundles, so there's an overabundance of them.

BTW, if it's possible to do screenshots on an Xbox, could someone fill me in? I would love to have pics of some of the nordic halls and whatnots.

Oh, and yes, once I figure how to properly work my new camera, I'll take some shots. Probably upload a vid to youtube and link to it. You know, once I figure out how to do THAT too.

Damn, just thought of something else. Anyone have a good notion how to do a thatched roof that doesn't involve chopping up old paintbrushes and spending forever glueing them down?

For thatched roofs I have seen people use old hand towels and it turns out pretty well and seems less labor intensive as using the fiber method.

Ha ha! I've finally managed to figure out my editting software (well, enough to get something posted on youtube, at least). And so, I present the link to go enjoy my video. I'm fervently hoping to get a lot more done, with videos and tutorials. I'll keep TBMF in the loop.

First Mordheim Video - feel free to like and comment (please)

Thtatched roofs can be made using teddy bear fur and stiffening it up with pva glue... If you can get a hold of the Games Workshop terrain making book it's got some great tips! ( The new one, not th eold red cover one )
