Kleindorf (Pic Heavy)

So,
Were going to be playing Mordheim in our own setting of Kleindorf - The same city my group is working on for Warhammer Roleplay and I though I'd start a thread for the buildings as they are finished.
Overall, its planned to be a mix of ruins and intact structures.
So without further ado, I present what in effect was a trial building to work out the kinks for paint scheme, assembly etc etc



More to come as I should be finishing off the Citadel watchtower this afternoon, so I'll have a photo session some point today

Ady

EXCELLENT START! The door & shuttered window look particularly FINE. Keep us posted as things develop.

Thanks Deafnala

Watchtower is still on the painting table, but he chapels finished:

VERY NICE rendition of the G.W. Chapel....the Lads with Spears are also VERY WELL DONE!

Nice and tidy paintjob, sir. The wattle and daub parts of the barn looks spot on.

Thanks Havre,

In the end, the wattle & daub was fairly easy - Wilko's ready mixed filler applied by finger, then roughened up with an old toothbrush, Tan acrylic base, sepia wash (Oddly, calligraphy Ink as I've got shedloads of that as well as GW washes etc) then tan-tan/white-tan/white/white heavy drybrush.

Fairly pleased with how the colour worked out myself

Watchtowers finally finished, along with a lil' hut made from the extra in the kit..



And the hut:



Ady

NICELY DONE! The Hut is a cool little piece.

Thanks

To be honest, they are almost 100% kit-built, the only modification I made was to add a strip of balse to give a more defined join between the bricks and the plasterwork on all 3

Ghostbear, you've got a lovely terrain collection! And I really love the way you did those bases. Adds so much character to the buildings.

On a constructive note - I hope - I would add a bit more weathering to the stone work and walls.
Check this article - and others on the same blog, for that matter:

It always gives me loads of ideas for how to paint my terrain.

Thanks for that Joaol,
I do plan to add more weathering at some point, though my confidence is low with my painting & modelling, so I figure I'd take it 1 step at a time & build up slowly

Although I respect your comment, I think you should feel very confident and proud of your skills!

Keep up the good work!

Great start to your village of Kleindorf.

I agree with Havre about the barn, that wilko's filler/Toothbrush technique will be getting some serous usage by me. It looks magnificent

What's next?

Have a look, I've started a WIp Thread over on:

Next one's up:

The little hut makes me think of an outhouse... just saying.

Yer not the only one
I'm stiill looking to see if I can find the old 'Chaos Toilet' model on Ebay to go in there



Chaos Toilet on Stuff of Legends

those barricades look amazing!! i was planning to do some now for my city and this gave me tons of ideas !! graet work

Next ones done....



And For scale:

Yes He has finished another one!! Looks good and it is nice to see how you did it over in your WIP blog.

I really like the design with the overhang and the porch. Although there seems to be a creepy character hangin round the house, does he think its Halloween or something?

Time for a group shot of Kleindorf so far me reckons

That turned out TERRIFIC....VERY WELL DONE!
If the Warlock were a permanent part of the piece, you could have flames coming from the beam directly over his candle; sorry, that's how my mind works...or doesn't.

No need to apologise... I love the mini, but the candles never quite made sense.. I can see it now..
"Mum! Dads set fire to the ceiling again"
"Dear... What have I told you about your candle-hat?"
"mutter.. never in the house...."

Either that, or he's going to have problems concentrating on spellcasting thanks to the molten wax dribbling into his ear'ole

Anyhow.. I'm going to have some more Wip shots up soon, just as soon as it's a bit more identifiable than a pile of foamcore & balsa

This color scheme, very sober, is pretty well thought!
I also like the way you've hidden the skulls of the chapel with windows. May I borrow the idea?!

Yeah, the skulls can be an issue if you want the chapel to look more like a civilian building. Here's what I did with mine (scroll down for a while):
