So that is three war bands fully printed.
Possessed, Sisters and Witch hunters.
The undead are done, they just need cleaning up and curing.
Tonight I think I will sort out the Reikland dudes as well as the ratty dudes.
Three Down
How Big is an Imaginary Creature
So I printed out my ratty dude and glued him together. I left him original size and placed him next to a sister and a human male. Now the sisters are a bit smaller than I expected them to be. Scale creep hadn’t hit them like everything else!
He is the only one so I can easily increase the size of him, the book say they are the size of a man, but that could just be exaggeration. A man sized rat sounds a bit scarier than a halfling sized rat. However an angry normal sized rat can be very intimidating indeed.
In my mind the GW ones were bulkier and taller… evidently not. I checked in the book and saw this picture…
These might be metal miniatures from Warhammer so will be a bit smaller than the plastic Mordheim sprue.
Armless and Not so Harmless
Today I carried on with printing miniatures. I did the remains of the Witch hunters . Two zealots and a pair of flagellants. As per my list I wanted the flagellants to have big smacky sticks. It was after I cured them I realised that I had chosen the wrong bodies for the said smacking sticks. So off I went to print two more bodies and a couple of torches and hand weapons to add to these armless ( or rather handless) one already printed.
The second print was a possessed beast. I Would go as far as saying that this chap will be anything but harmless. He has a big tooth filled gob and betentacled arms to boot. All in all not something you would want to meet in an alley in any form of light.
Once again these are a mix of miniatures . The two zealots are Vae Victus, the flagellants are from Erramir Orlans… my original imperial army miniatures. The possessed beastie was a freebie from Thingiverse… unfortunately I forgot to write down who designed it.
Mordheim Started
Well it is started if you class it as: ‘printed the first force in full’.
Here we have a Possessed warband. From left to right we have a Magister (leader), two mutants one with a tentacle and the other being hideous these two are your heroes. The remaining six are your rank and file. First up, four brethren- two with bows and two with hand weapons. The final two are Beastmen. One with an axe and shield and the other with a two handed weapon.
Funnily enough, the first fully printed force was the last one I planned.
Now I did cock up a bit with this force. I got to the end and realised I had forgotten to give the mutants a weapon… one ended up with a club and the other an axe. This actually bumped them over the 500 points.
These came from Vae Victus (the humans) and Duncan Shadow for the beastmen. The magister was the only one piece miniature. The rest were multipart kits.
Before printing I checked sizes with the Highland miniatures, the Vae Victus ones had their height increased to 110% and the beastmen by 130% all over. I wanted the later to be a bit more chunky.
As I type this I am printing a possessed creature. The original set had one in, but with a base cost of 90 and various mutations then it burns through a lot of start up points. It does mean though that I could have a bit of a swap about if I do fancy it in the starting line up. In Mordheim you take a panic roll if you lose 25%. As the force as it stands means I get to lose three before making that roll. If I put the big beastie in then I roll after losing two. The only person with armour is the boss. So the rest had better not get wounded.
Tomorrow I am going to finish off the Witch hunters then move onto the Sisters of Sigmar.
