Empire mercenary band - Mordheim



Alright, one project done ! After doing the first 6 members if this band in groups of 3 I thought I had the colour scheme well in hand to finish the last 7 in one go !
this takes me to a total of 13 (eeew scary...) and provides me with many options to grow the band throughout a campaign I hope.
I was quite happy to have these old fighters done since they were kind of an impulse purchase at BOYL to do a Mordheim band, it only took me 2 years to complete it after all !
I've written a list (somewhere, must find it)but I guess it's pretty clear who's who with the ow rankers being lightly equipped :


Little more capable fighters :


And the swag master himself ! This ogre was an absolute revelation, it's one of the greatest sculpts i've had in hand and although his left sleeve had some miscast issue he was absolutely fantastic, the details and everything clearly show a lot of love and attention went into it.


Now here's the complete gang ! I've tried to link several different models with different styles into a coherent group with a strong palette, the idea behind this was that mercenaries share colours and part of style but they don't earn the same and therefore don't have the same amount of wealth to display, It's a balance between having a strong visual unity and having clearly distinct individualities in the same band !



Anyway, I hope you folks make the best of that social distancing (if you happen to be in a place where it's a thing), lots of remote hugs to you all !

  3. Très beau choix de figurines :) Les armures manquent un peu de peps AMHA, mais l'ensemble rend bien, dans tes teintes habituelles (zone de confort, bla bla bla).

    1. Très honnête et très juste, j'ai hésité a traiter l'armure en brillant, je voulais pas d'une teinte métallique, merci !

  5. THose are lovely. I am looking to get my own version of that Ogre finished over the lock in and yours is definitely an inspiration to get him done.

  6. This is a fabulous looking warband. I hadn't clocked these were the Fighters that Foundry recently rereleased – I was able to hold off buying them as they didn't fit into any ongoing projects but their day will come!

    Have you got more games line up for these guys?

  7. I've loved seeing this carefully selected gang of lads come together. You've really done a fine job in picking some of the most characterful figures available.

    They've got a rather unusual but striking colour scheme with the pale blue doing a great job to tie them all together. Excellent!

  9. Qu'est ce que je peux adorer cet Ogre. Il est devenu trop chère sur ebay du coup je pense pas pouvoir le peindre un Jour. Pour en revenir à l'article, voilà une belle bande full options, les figs sont top, bravo et A+

    1. Thanks mec, there had to be some point when I'd have to do some puff n'slash with suitable beards, that's a great silver lining to this situation here ;)

    1. Oh I really want to take them out for a ride, there's a thing going on with Mordheim with a group of friends so when the circumstances fall back to normal we will channel than into a proper game !

  17. Belle cohérence dans le choix et les teintes 👍 L'armure sombre leur va bien, je trouve. Toute la gamme des ogres Marauder est incroyable, et particulièrement le boss !

    1. Je crois que l'armure sombre était un bon choix, Jaeckel a raison sur la fat qu'elle pourrait être plus travaillée mais cette bande était aussi l'occasion de retrouver un rythme de peinture après avoir freiné.
      Merci !

  18. These look fantastic! Excellently done sir!

  19. What a great era of models. Lovely work, especially that Marauder Ogre! I have a real soft spot for the C series and Marauder ogres (you might have guessed from the profile picture!), but I couldn't achieve the standard you have here!

    1. Cheers, that marauder ogre was a real discovery, didn't expect it to be such an amazing sculpt!
