Goblin Mini Mart

I’ve mentioned before my tendency to constantly start new projects without finishing the previous ones. Right now, I find myself under a particularly large heap of unfinished models and terrain pieces. So I’ve decided to make a list of all those projects here in hopes of being able to work through it and clean up my work space of unfinished business. I’ve also decided to take notes when I have a great idea. Instead of just diving into a building a new project when I think of it; I’ll take notes and let the idea simmer and cook down into a refined form, until I can get to it proper. This list does not include models still in the box or on the sprue, only projects now in progress.

Let’s begin.

If anyone would like to make requests on what I should finish first drop me a comment.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

I did the greenstuff work on the Possessed. It was easier than I thought. I filled in the forearm on the claw arm and fixed the cuff of the leather wrist band on the hand arm. I even put an extra wart onto the claw arm to tie in with the rest of the model. I want to do more now, but I’m not sure which direction to head. I’ve entertained thoughts of doing a giant maw on his stomach, or adding some mutant horns to his head. Or cutting the head off entirely and replacing it with a plastic spawn head. I need to be patient and think on all this a while more.

Comments are appreciated.

Last month, I bought a copy of Mordheim on Ebay. I’ve always wanted to play it, or at least build a warband for it. So I got my new book in the mail, worked out a possessed warband list and then I headed right over to Hoard o’ Bits and bought a bunch of stuff as you can see.

I got flagellants bits, chaos spawn bits, beast man bits, and a huge honking Reaper Miniatures Ogre. That is a big step for me. I haven’t bought anything but GW minis since the 80’s. I feel odd, like I’m crossing a line using a non-GW mini in a GW game. I know it’s all in my head, but it feels very strange. Doesn’t matter though because I love those Reaper minis and this Ogre is perfect as you can see below.

Since the possessed is going to be the real center piece of the gang I’ve started on him first. The conversion isn’t to drastic, just some hand swaps and a little greenstuff work to hold it together.

I’m going to go back and reread Ron’s green stuffing tutorials on From The Warp, since I have very little experience with it.

When the big fella is done I’ll dive into this pile of bits and have a real time of it. I’d also like to thank Tom’s Boring Mordheim Blog for tons idea and inspiration.

Let me know what you think so far. Here’s my working warband list.
