Pedro's CIRCUS (Carnival of Chaos) - group of clowns

Hi,
this season I began working on my CIRCUS, Carnival warband... (It was my second season,the first one I played with orcs from my WHFB army, but i dislike that these are not original "fuffy" Mordheim gang... Every time I'm more and more interested in the feeling of game, regardless of result...)
I made two Brutes, two Infected and two brothers. Also used my old one sculpted Nurgling, two OOP Plaguebearers (I really love these models). Not decided with the King of Carnaval, using now an old plastic wizard...

Pics or it didn't happen

Here is my wip gallery: http://pedrojemivedro.rajce.idnes.cz/WIP_-_Mordheim/

(I don't know why, but all my attempts to post an image failed... Grrrr! )

Oh yes, they are cool. The brutes especially. And good use of the old Breton archers. Painted up, they form a nice little bunch!

LOOKIN' GOOD! All your pieces have a lot of potential. GREAT WORK! 

Now then as to the photos:
1-click the photo you want to bring it up to full size.
2-right click the photo & chose the Copy Image Location
3-click the icon that looks like a TV screen (fourth block, second icon from the left on the top bar)
4-place the cursor in the bar with the http & enter Ctrl V...that will enter your photos address
5-click insert & the photo will appear like the one above.

I hope that was understandable. 

(Oh, Nooo, lost my parts description of Brutes... because of clicking "quote"... )
Brutus (hammer) - marauder legs, orc body and hands, dwarf head with abrased helmet, hammer head from plastic from sprue...
Golemek (flail) - boots and trousers from 1/35 soviet soldier - shortened, orc hands and top of hood, flail head from an banner sprue, other sculpted from putty

Good observation with the old bretonian archers - they are a good source of bodies and legs - I have prepared other one with completely repositioned legs.. (heads and hands are always spare...) The one with clown's hat have gor's head...

The "Joker" and "Drummer" are from Catachan soldiers... (Drummer bag from 1/35 soviet, marauder hands...)

Painting process of all are almost finished during last few days, but I have not camera now (wife with sons are on holidays - I can paint, but without camera )

Thanks, DeafNala!
All steps seems to be easy and comprehensibles, but I failed before (don't know why...)

SUCCESS! The Jester's Caps look TERRIFIC! VERY WELL DONE! 

Welcome to the forum! You have done a great job creating the warband out of diverse sources of miniatures. I really like your use of those old plastic archers. I still have around 40 of them in a box somewhere...

With clowns like that I can see why some people might be afraid.

Those old bret archers are a great source of parts (and cheap) and you've done a really nice job with them.

Originally both were bareheaded, but in a game my friend mentioned the idea of pointy clown's caps(hats)... So, I did some work - was satisfying:)

Some proofs of painting progress (photos taken only under afternoon sun...):
HENCHMEN

And the two small ones...
BRUTES

My actual warband master... (an old plastic OOP wizard)
I'm not sure with him, still waiting for a scratchbuild idea (for this reason is without paint..)



And promised "bretarch's" leg reposition (comparing with the original one..., isn't my painting job...)

COOL & COLORFULLY DONE! Your conversions are TERRIFIC. This is going to be something special when complete. 

The Carnival has to be one of my favorite warbands to convert. Great job!
I have a mutant for my possessed that looks a lot like your brute.

COOL! The Orc torso & arms are a couple of very useful conversion pieces...part of my own Ubergoblins. He does look suitably mutated AND WELL DONE!  

Good conversions are always great to look at, and yours are fantastic! It's difficult to notice that there's been alteration at all, as the result is so seamles.

Congratulations!

Yeap, is the same combination - as wrote DeafNala, is wery useful
btw: should be more possesed, now is only the beggining of chaos process....

I had copied the idea from some picture on web, looking for any interesting pics of Carnival...


CARANTUR: thanks a lot! Is a good motivation for me to finish/continue in the process. As painting, as modelling/converting.

Accidentally today I began another clown (again from a poor catachan... ). As I wrote before, I love converting , unfortunally our MH playing season terminated by disappearing players, because rules were very free and opened. I try to reanimate the community for next season with greater planning and forming a true campaign..., hopefully

The warband looks tremendously colourful but also horrendously terrifying, I mean I'm not scared of clowns myself but i totally get why people find them so creepy! Hope to see more soon.
