KOW: Dwarf Stone Priest

Since I have been playing so much Kings of War recently I've been looking to add some units and "do up" some that I already had. Yesterday I spent some time re-basing my Stone Priest, with foam card, sand and a Fimo dais for him to stand atop.




To get the markings on the dais I used my modelling tool to make the runes and one of Serefina's tealight holders to make the swirls, bit of relief molding.





I have loads of smaller troops and regiments to add to the throng, will be posting them as and when.

Mordheim: Ruined Building

Here is the building I have been working on for some time now, all painted. This is the first large building I've made for the club.




I undercoat by hand so the longest bit of the job was the black!




Painted all the bits separately, then glued and finally I'll stain it. (That sounds wrong.)







Don't I have a nicely ordered work space!


The final piece, all painted and stained. Think I will revisit it in future and add some more details, but its playable for the moment.

Mordheim:Birth of a Ruin


These photos I took over a few sessions and have put them together to show how I go about creating a building for KOW or Mordheim, also at a pinch they could be used with Necromunda models too.
The inspiration for a whole raft of Mordheim ruins/buildings was a box left over from work..


Cut up with a Stanley knife after marked with a felt pen.


Millie has to get involved.



Six buildings could be made from one large box.



Mark out the features.



All cut out.


Cut supports for first and second floor.




Checking the models actually fit.



Kitting out the floors, using cereal card.



Making sure they fit OK.



Floor tops complete I remove them to add the cladding to the inside of the structure.



Added a hardboard base for strength and durability. 




At this stage the building has been entirely clad inside and out, and I have added PVAcrete to the edges and to some of the exterior sections for effect.






Beams were added to the underneath floor areas and edged with PVAcrete for strength.


At this point we are ready to paint and then glue all the floors and free standing wall in place.

Hopefully it will all be done for tomorrow, undercoating as I write, well almost!
