It is for the WFRP 3rd Ed, but it's not from the core rulebook or the official products. It's fan made supplement, made by this guy here. There are two other career cards on that page as well, if you need more inspiration

@ Joao - the flagellant chest seems to work. I'll put up some pictures when he is more ready. Yeah hopefully the WE release will be on the scale of the DE release. The new lord looks good, I need some better pictures of the treeman before I pass judgement

@VK - come on buddy, you know you want to read the sea elf list and ask a lot of questions

@elde - yeah that's where I found it I thought it might be an official scan, too bad it's not. So where did Werekin find the feast-master?

All elves need a fancy boat to travel in. This one, called Hatchling, is carried by air elementals

It is an interesting model with a lot of modeling possibilities. I know you'll make THE MOST of its potential for cool. HAVE FUN!   

I think flying boats have been sadly ignored in Mordheim, but I recently discovered a flying pirate dingy I bought a few years ago . (Cleaning is not always a bad thing.)  I think I will try to redress the lack of rules oversight.

No, no.  I try to only bother werekin about warbands, etc I am interested in.  

Flying ships has a fine tradition in Warhammer

I did some test painting on one of the lookouts.

I've done some more work on the crew.

The Captain



and the Merry Pranksters, a thorn in the captain side.

COOL...it's Captain Goth & the Morris Dancers! These Guys should look TERRIFIC all painted up...I love the one with the flute. GREAT WORK!  

Painting is coming along nicely on the crew, still some work to be done but hopefully I'll have the warband finished this year.

The Feast master joined the crew.







The pose provides some problem, like how the hell am I supposed to make him stand on that tiny peg leg? I might have to put a chest on the base and glue him to it. Does anybody have any ideas?

The Pointy Eared Pirate is UBERCOOL...nice lively positioning. You might run a pin through the base for mounting depending on how thick the peg leg is. At any rate, keep up the FINE WORK!  

Thanks Alan, the leg is needle thin. Looks good but impractical...

The pose is great, maybe disguise the rod with a tall tuft of grass?

man, you´ve realy been busy the last time, great work!

Cool looking pirate elves!

Thanks guys! I'm skipping between so many projects right now it's silly. But I have to go where inspiration takes me I guess.

It's really only important to stay focused on a single project if you're painting for money; i.e., commission work. If you're painting for the joy of it all, following your heart is actually the most productive way, & certainly the most enjoyable. SO HAVE FUN!  

Oh god, commissions would drive me quite insane. I have done a few paintings on commission and it was a horrible experience. I just can't force myself to be creative. So I'm always impressed by those who can.

The only enjoyable commission work I had was for my friend Justin's D&D games; there was all sorts of background material, concept ideas, & a wide scope for creativity. Commissions are slightly better than consignment work in that the $s are guaranteed. Generally it was a pain in the lower extremities, but it did develop discipline within the craft & contributed to becoming a Crazy Old Man.
