Jymmy´s Mordheim project - Carnival of Chaos (& other WIP)

Hi there! I will be posting all my progress on my warbands, feedback is apreciated, altough I have to advance that is very unlikely that I´m going to make changes in models that I´ve finished painting (I´m utterly lazy).

I have years of experience painting, but i´m not very fond of using complex techniques (a matter of time), take that into account when suggesting tips

If any of you have any questions towards painting recipes, conversions or trademarks of any of my miniatures make me k
now!!

First of all, a couple of wary peasants



And, to begin, with the carnival, a brethen



Aaand another brethen



First Tainted One



The brute, omfg, how i love this model (pretty expensive in ebay though, not getting another)



Detail on his nasty back



A family picture



For the moment, that´s all!!

Nice looking models

A small update...

The mercenaries prepare for an squirmish in the ruined house, stay sharp...



Here´s my vampire tormenting the poor fellow, maybe in a future I will pick a Von Carstein, but I always prefered the strigoi clan



A WIP of one of the possesed, disgusting! (they have to live up their name!)



And finally, the mutherfucking dogs of the witch hunters, I need some advice on these



I´m not sure about wich colour scheme to use with the pack. should I choose a diferent colour for each dog? and, well, any idea about how to paint them would be greatly apreciated

The one in front looks very close to an actual mastiff alrerady. I'd probably look for pics of mastiffs on the internet for colours I like. As far as I can see (just scanning google right now) there are the beige ones, dark brown ones and some that are reddish. Snouts and ears usually black. You've got some multiple poses. I'd try to paint the same poses in different colours.

the funny thing is that I received 4 dogs with the same damned pose!! I had to do a little conversion work to get out with some hint of diversity!
A friend of mine suggested to paint the dogs as famous dog actors (beethoven, air bud, etc)

Long time since last update! Sorry guys, I found it pretty hard to update this for the last year!!, so now i have accumulated loads of pics!!

Last time I posted, I was working on the Carnival of Chaos warband, by now is finished, but I don´t have at hand the miniatures to take them pics, so it will have to wait, for the moment I will share other WIPS, and the first finished pics of Witch Hunters!

First is a pic of when I was begining with the plague cart




Next, some conversion work for the possesed



A cathedral from Pegassus Hobbies, lot of work to do tough, but surely its nice (ignore the christmas tree)






The next picture is my idea for doing the street floor for my tabletop



And some market stalls!!



As soon I can I will upload some other photos!!

man, i love the work you're doing. I especially like the market stall. If i may ask, where are those witch hunter mastiffs from?

The mastiffs are from warlord games, Im not sure, but I think that they are called "briton mastiffs". The blister includes 5 dogs and are not so expensive. The only problem are the random poses that can come repeated. With a little effort something can be done (look at mine, 4 exactly the same, is difficult to have a worse luck!).

The market stalls have a tutorial in this forum if I recall correctly!
Im going to do some photos to the finished mastiffs for the next batch.

Great update! Excellent plague cart

Sorry I missed this when you started posting. You have some WONDERFULLY imaginative, BEAUTIFULLY modeled creations. OUTSTANDING WORK!  

Thanks for the feedback! Such feeling, I might get addicted  

There´s more photos left!; I will begin the update with a couple of pics of my second witch hunter, Filthy Frank, still WIP





As I promised, here´s a pic of the finished dogs (four out of five, I can´t come up with a way to paint the last one!)



And, finally, the flagelants completely finished, as with the huntress!!

Filthy Frank has a lot of potential. The Flagellants & the Huntress have lived up to their potential SPLENDIDLY.  
The Puppies look TERRIFIC as well. For the fifth you could do a red brown where you have the white on the left two for a Rottweiler look:

I have the same hounds, you did a great job on them!

Hi there!, Today´s update is just a few pics of my last purchases/conversions  

Wonderful dwarf warriors that I found last week on my local store! These beauties only cost me 10 euros!





An arab merchant (an inkeeper from an unknown brand), a sister superior and my first novice conversion!






Lastly, most of the kislev heroes; the woman will be the druzhina, the man of the axe an essaul and two youths (the one with the crossbow got his head stolen by the future prince, so i´m looking for replacements)

You have some TERRIFIC LOOKING miniatures there. Have FUN with the painting et al.  

It has been a lot of time since last time I updated, by now, I´m finished with Witch Hunters and I´m doing the Undead. Next week I´m gonna post a family pick of both complete Witch Hunters and Carnival of Chaos Warbands.

Here is some ghouls, a ghoul hero (I felt almost obligued to obtain a different model, as there´s no way to differentiate a ghoul hero just with the games workshop box) mixed with a couple of kislev models which I was using for experimenting with the paint scheme of the warband (yep, obvious spoiler of the next warband I´m going to do!)

COOL GHOULS & opponents! They all painted up SPLENDIDLY!  

The bloodeffect works well on the ghouls. I also like your Kislevites. What manufacturer is that? The girl looks like Werner Klocke's work so I guess Reaper (as I don't recall a mini like that for Freebooter's Fate).

I´m in absolute love with the blood effect, i´m not a fan of imbuing all the weapons in gore, but with the nasty canibals was mandatory! The kislevites are from Warmachine, concretely khador kossite woodsmen. Since the original mordheim warband is so expensive, and gw only has cossacks, the privateer press russian style minis are a nice addition!

I reuploaded the latest picks, for some reason they stopped showing. Also, here is a couple of shots of one of the witch hunters (with an even more awful resolution!!   )

Behold "Lemon Hunter" (The reasons behind its name come from an story not worth writting at all!)





(A friend suggested me to equip him with a brazier mace, and turned out pretty well I must say!)

That is a SPLENDIDLY painted piece with lots of interesting details to it.  I'm not sold on the position; re, it looks more like he's tripping than charging. Other than that VERY NICELY DONE!   

The brazier-mace is a cool idea. I also like the head, what mini is that from?

It´s from an spanish miniature brand, A Capa y Espada, the miniature is called Zapador (Sapper)

Technically, people in mordheim spend most of the time tripping while trying to climb or landing succesfully, so is not innacurate at all

That is a point well taken.  

Yes, I know that by this moment I should be uploading undead and be finished with the witch hunters, but I realised that there was a lot of details left to finish, so until next week I can´t continue with the putrid peoples.

Here is, Filthy Frank and an original Mordheim dog. Once again I´m sorry about the illumination and quality of the photos, I´m far from being an expert photographer, and if it not was enough, I´m pretty lazy!
