The Gangs of Maudeheim, Part I 01/06/19

Thanks for the reply, Foot. I am happy you stopped by AND like the Rhino.

I've got a lot of catching up to do on this thread. I really like those little goblins. And that Wyrd mini looks like he fits in perfectly with your world.

Thanks, West. I am glad you like the stuff.

The Dürer rhinoceros is awesome!

You did a wonderful work on the sculpting, I knew at once which painting had inspired it.

Thanks for the reply, Alex. I only found out about the Durer & Dali Rhinos after I start the Big Guy. I got my inspiration from James Christensen:

Even better, a replica of a replica 👍

The vultures are a nice addition to the rhino which is coming along nicely. I also like the goblin monks and this wyrd guy.

Durer was definitely the original Rhino creator.

Thanks for the reply, Grimscull. I am happy you are enjoying all the stuff!

One of the Fellows on the Reaper Forum did up this Ral Partha/Iron Wind Witch. She was irresistible.
SO I picked one up & added a Pumpkinhead kit-bash as a henchman:




...with a semi-buried tombstone for atmosphere:

Hey, I recognize some Mordheim parts!

I've not looked at the Reaper forum in years. I should. I got some great painting tips there when I was starting back up.

There are Zombie legs, Militia arms & torso involved in the Pumpkinhead...the Jack O'Lantern is home grown so to speak.
The Reaper Forum Folk are pleasant, friendly, & talented. The Mods are a mixed bag. Some of the forum rules are insipid, but it is a nice hangout.

Very promising-- always good to see fresh weirdness sprouting...

Love the pumpkin head figure. That's the perfect torso for him.

Thanks, Codsticker. I am glad you like the way G.W. Militia torsos work with the Pumpkinheads.
They have been favorite conversion parts for quite awhile. This an older Witch's Hunter Band...they hunt Witch Hunters.


If you want to while away an hour or two, I have W.I.P. & finished photos of a few of the Pumpkinhead Gangs here:

Good to see the Pumpkin Heads again

Thanks, Jim...glad you like them.

Oh, now I really like that! A suitably crazy warband, in your very own style.

Thanks for the kind reply, Rhydderch. With baseball season winding down, I am hoping to put a sizable dent in my backlog of miniatures. This should mean more war bands..some will be off to new homes.

Great looking warband DN. The photos in your Google album really show them nicely- some awesome figures there.

Thanks, Codsticker. I am happy you like them. Like the Mushrooms, the Pumpkinheads are all over the place. I have done some for other Folk here & abroad.

I was looking at this illustration I found on Pinterest:


The Pixie Fellows hat's resemblance to a mushroom cap got me thinking of a Goblin in that type of headgear.






Is the Goblin wearing a Mushroom Cap or is he a new example of the evolving Mushrooms?
The Mushrooms deny the latter idea.  

That looks wonderfully weird.

Thanks for the reply, Codsticker. Weird is my thing.

Very nice. Always good when something useful comes out of pintrest.

Thanks, West. Pinterest is a fine source of inspiration & interesting idea.
