Mordheim Vampire Hunters: Forces of Undead (plus New Ghouls Part 3)

After a rather productive 5 days off, the Ghasts are all complete :) (I need to get some gloss varnish for blood though).

 Not a bunch of folk i'd want to meet on a dark night....

I think these figures make great vaguely bat like ghouls, but they'd also work quite nicely as smaller werewolf type figures :).

 It's a speee.... a Spi.....  a spii-d-d-d-der!!!

Toy spiders to be precise.... they were cheap, and had a really slap dash bit of paint work, but I think they came out looking pretty good, they won't win any competitions, but they look fine for my purposes. 

BTW they are on 40mm bases so they make excellent "giant" spiders :).

Not bad for 20p each, the bases probably cost as much ......

Last on the update are the two gargoyles that will follow one of the Barons mistresses in the campaign, one grey one brown just to make it easier to distinguish between the two in games really... lol

And a shot of their backs... the chaos furies are actually quite nice figures I think.

Mordheim Vampire Hunters: Campaign Master forces

More progress on some of the undead required for the campaign. I now have 6 Dire wolves based (Miniatures are Chaos hounds) and have finished off the Wraith from one of my previous posts :).

I have also undercoated 5 ghouls and a couple of skellies to start on some painting at some point (no photos).

I have also now based 3 giant spiders for the campaign. These are toy spiders and the plastic has excellent memory... which is a pain as they never stay where you bend them. 

To pose them how I have, I had to bend the legs at the joints back on themselves and then use a pair of pliers to crimp the plastic a bit, this gave me sufficient time to superglue the feet to the bases, still it takes a lot of patience and a LOT of glue, hence why I have only finished 3/8 :(. 

Still for the price (£1.70 inc. postage on eBay for 8 of them) I think these make fantastic giant spiders :).

Modheim: Undead update (WiP)

I stumbled on a fantastic link during an unusual foray out of the modelling section of Toms boring mordheim forum (http://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/).

The link is to a blog where the blogger has written a Cooperative Modheim campaign where the players work to rid the Ostermark of Undead lead by a powerful Vampire. Since reading that I have been solely working on the undead, with the hope that I can find enough players to run this campaign :).

Anyway, even if I don't run that campaign these guys will be used in the MODheim project.

3x Dire wolves (Chaos hounds on 40mm DS Bases)

Giant Spider (Toy based on 40mm DS Base)

The below Banshee and Wraith require a LOT of work as you can probably tell, they are both based on parts from the Coven throne kit, I purchased some bits off the net, primarily for the female vampire parts, but the lot came with some other cool bits which I have used too :).

The Banshee uses one of the vamps sitting legs + a demonette torso, she will also use a demonette head, arms I don't know yet...

The Wraith uses a bit of the Coven throne curtain, the torso (inc arms) is also from the coven throne, the "head" is from a Mantic Revenent guard box.

Wraith and Banshee on 30mm DS bases

3x Mantic ghouls re-based on 30mm DS bases

3x Skellies, all Mantic revenet legs, one mantic torso (the one coming from the ground) 2x Coven throne torsos, heads from either the mantic kit or the Empire great swords kit. Armour from the mantic kit.
