Nostalgia project 2: Mordheim Undead warband

 Greetings all.

Riding the wave of nostalgia from the last post, I painted up another little something that takes me back to an earlier time whenever I think about it: an Undead warband for Mordheim. This was something I always wanted at the time, but never really got round to doing. The Dregs and Zombies are from my original attempt at the warband back in 1999, and it was nice to finally get them done. Everything else I scooped up on eBay just for this project. I also included a Heresy Miniatures Ghoul King just in case one of my Ghouls makes it to Hero status.






Nice to have these guys done and kind of tick that box (nearly 25 years later). Might even manage to get a game or two in with them!

Nostalgia project 1: Bommerz over da sulphur river

Greetings all.

Been a while again hasn't it? I'm barely hanging on with the blogging thing these days as I've said before, but I'm gonna continue posting until I figure out what I'm going to do with it. It's a good way of keeping an eye on progress, and there has been some progress.

My last update was in February and I've done a fair few interesting things since then. First up, and the subject of this post...

Bommerz over da sulphur river!

Does anybody remember this awesome little game? This takes me right back to the late 90s, playing with my mates on the last day(s) of the school term. As a result I just had to pick up a copy for myself. I'd seen somewhere on the internet that some people had updated their copies a bit to use minis instead of the cardboard counters that come with the game, so I did exactly that:









It's an awesome little game, and just as fun as I remember. I've played a few games of it now, including one with one of the school mates I used to play it with all those years ago.









This is the first in a series of what I'm calling "nostalgia projects". A lot of what I paint is pretty much nostalgia driven anyway, but there are a few things that really take me back to simpler times, and this is one of them.
