More Mordheim Mercenaries

 Hello again! Here are a few more foppish-but-violent mercenaries to venture into Mordheim, like carrion-crows dressed up as peacocks. That was unusually poetic of me! For similar high-quality prose, please buy my books. All of them.

Anyhow, all of these are old models that I've spruced up. I tidied the painting generally, tried to make the leather look a bit more battered, and repainted the yellow fabric, now using a pink undercoat. I think it helps a lot. Also, I used a new technique on the faces, glazing them with heavily thinned Sigvald Burgundy to make them look ruddy and a bit unhealthy.

First up is a swordsman and a crossbowman. These guys are a mixture of Empire and Mordheim mercenary bits. The crossbowman has a head from a Bretonnian man at arms.




And here are two more crossbowmen. Again, they use Mordheim mercenary and Empire bits, particularly Empire cannon crew, who have the right sort of "casual" attire and rough clothing.




Here's a picture of some of the repainted guys. This isn't the whole warband - there are loads more, but these chaps are particularly fancy.




Next time, a bit of a change, as we take a trip to the neon streets of Necromunda...
