MODheim Warbands

When Time & Cruel Reality permit, you have some VERY, VERY COOL STUFF to paint up there Enjoy the painting after the deluge.

Hey there's a lot of cool stuff there. Some individual photos please. Even just sub-groups of things, the better to drool over them. (No offense meant)

Not much of an update but some new stuff as well as a bunch of photos of everything so far Please excuse the flash:

First off some more Gnomes



A Guy from the holy faction

Once more you've got some VERY COOL pieces up there. The Gnomes are my hands down favorites in the group...a TREMENDOUS amount of personality there.

Oh boy! Really cool conversions! And since I have loads of LOTR orcs that are just collecting dust, I might go for that option of placing gnoblars' heads on them!

Sorry to anyone expecting pictures, this is not a picture update.
I need some help coming up with ideas for the Gnome warband list here is what I have so far:

[size=14pt]Blood Gnomes [/size]
3-15 members
No Type
Heroes
1 Blackcap (leader)
0-1 Bloodcap Champion
0-1 Madcap (Mage)
0-2 ?????
Henchmen
Unlimited Bloodcap Warriors
0-6 Spore hunters (the mushroom guys (converted to have ranged weapons))
0-3 Bloodcap Beserkers
Minions
?????
Monsters
?????

I have no idea what minions (non-experience gaining creatures (like warhounds, skeletons)) or Monsters to give them so any thoughts (on both list entries and models) would be great please

No "Redcaps"? that's the "classic" Im thinking darksoul kind of mentality for the remaining heroes as frenzy is too powerful for starting characters
low WS, high S, no fear

Minions... Hey! i got it! give them something simply called "Minions" kinda like familiars. Let people make their own weird books with legs, mechanical chickens and flying skulls

Monsters... id say a golem, or a mechanical something, but i don't know

Love the poses, but can't recognise the legs on the the minis... Is it 40K?

@ Stronzo: cheers for the suggestions, I wasn't planning on giving anyone frenzy, the last 2 heroes IMO should either be spores or gnomes who are not beserkers IMO (more cultured gnomes), I'm just not sure what at this stage.
RE the minions, the minion catagory in MODheim is for the non-experience gaining troops (e.g. Bats, Warhounds, Skellies, Zombies, Snakes, Lesser lizzards, giant bugs, wolves, etc.) calling something in the minion catagory a minion would probably just be confusing to the rules.
Familiars will likely be making an appearence as a wargear item for magic users.
RE: the mechanical thingy, MODheim is a fantasy game, no firearms, no mechanical thingys, this is not a semi-steampunk world i'm trying to create .
Golem is a good suggestion though, will think on that. Was also thinking last night that I haven't got any Cyclops's yet......

@ Benji: all the legs pictured above were taken from 40k catachan miniatures (heavy weapon team (kneeling) and command set (plus one random normal trooper's legs).
The pockets were shaved off and greenstuffed over where required.

An update for you guys.

More photos in my Blog (I thought it was about time I started one).

I love your gnomes! Consider your idea stolen (by me).

Fine with me, I only ask that you post up some photos once you've finished.

I agree that the Gnomes are WONDERFUL CREATIONS...they also paint up GREAT! For moi they are some inspiration as to some things to do with all those Night Goblins that are awaiting some attention. VERY CREATIVELY WELL DONE!

An update with an actual picture this time

I have finished (apart from the bases) the first models for my Fishmen.

Inspired by a thread over on ATT (Tau forum) MANY years ago.... I finally got around to making my own:

I present one MATO. As per usual, more angles and a link to the creator on my Blog.

Latest WIP from my blog, a "terrortoise" (name suggestions welcome) as usual there are more angles / pictures on my Blog.

Cheers.

COOL STUFF one & all...they're just as imaginative here as on L.A.F.. Keep sharing your WONDERFUL CREATIONS in both places.

Wow, what a bunch of great conversions! Your painting is really good too.

Those gnomes are just beautiful. Especially great job on those.

Got around to getting some paint on the dwarves, sorry about the picture quality, new camera in bright sunshine didn't work out too great, but there are better shots of the individual models on my Blog.

The Short Babes look GREAT...I like your color choices. WELL DONE!

Agreed, those are some very cool dwarf ladies.

Theo

Thank you guys

I love the gnomes (also I like very much the dwarfs ladies) , you have a very original idea with an awesome result.
good work!
