Welcome to the fourth part of our Mordheim terrain series, this time we'll be concentrating on the building construction work that has been going on in support of the epic board we've been making.
More after the break...
Another Mordheim Terrain update in our Mordheim Board and Terrain series.
Part 1: http://bloody-dice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/hobby-mordheim-board-and-terrain.html
Part 2: http://bloody-dice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/hobby-mordheim-board-and-terrain-part-2.html
In today's post we'll take a look at the almost-fully constructed 4'x4' board, as well as some extra sections we've created to add variety to the games.
Here's the board with almost all of the tiles complete, including one of the bridge crossings. We'll have another bridge made on the right hand side, where you can see the wall gives way slightly. Warriors can also use the steps into the river, where they can wade across and use the lower ground to hide from enemy archers!

I posted about our intent to make a Mordheim board for an upcoming campaign in a recent post last week. See here for the first post in the series: http://bloody-dice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/hobby-mordheim-board-and-terrain.html
Our board is made up from Hirst Arts moulds, you can see what they look like whilst being cast above. These moulds are designed to be used with plaster, and we're using Crystacal R dental plaster. While expensive, it's a lot more durable than the cheaper Plaster of Paris (PoP). PoP tends to chip quite badly and then you're left with a glaring white scab of plaster ruining your scenery.

Greetings BloodyDice readers!
Dangermouse here, Martok has asked me to contribute to the blog, so I thought I'd write a bit of an intro post.
I'm somewhat of a hobby butterfly. I think my never-ending list of projects might have been why Martok asked me to contribute to the blog. Perhaps if I post my endless supply of bonkers ideas on the internet, I'll stop pestering him with them!
The armies I currently have in 40k are:
Black Templars
Blood Angels
Tyranids
Elysian Drop Troops (with Ultramarine Allies)
I dabble in a bit of X-Wing and Mordheim, but am predominantly a 40k player.
Over the next few posts I'll be introducing my armies, my plans for the future and some airbrush tutorials and showcases for some work I've done.
Looking forward to posting more!
All the best,
Dangermouse425
After our FLGSs last Mordheim campaign we decided the terrain need to be worked on. Rather than just patching up a few buildings we decided to jump in and make a full board. At this point we are working on a 4'x4' board and then build another so the two can be used together for any big games we plan.
The campaign at my FLGS is nearing the end. If you want to know more details about the campaign are available on their Facebook Page.
This week I managed to continue my new tactic of cowardice and survival :) After losing so much of my warband in vainglory at the beginning I have resolved to try me best to not hand out easy XP to the other players.
The campaign at my FLGS continues. If you want to know more details about the campaign are available on their Facebook Page.
I only managed to get one game in this week due to nurgles rot and work getting in the way. This post has a few pics from that game and then my next installment of fluff.
The campaign at my FLGS is thriving with the shop having moved into a larger unit and even talk of a custom board. Further details about the campaign are available on their Facebook Page.
For now take a look at my PIP Warband and then my next installment of fluff.
The campaign at my FLGS continues. A huge number of games have been played and further details are available on their Facebook Page. My own games however, appear to be showing my n00b status at the game. Four games in and I had to reboot the warband haha so I have adjusted the fluff somewhat to accommodate my failures and introduce my new hope (fluff in full at the bottom of this post).
For now take a look at my PIP warband.
As mentioned in a post last week I am taking part in a Mordheim campaign at the FLGS using a warband from Marienburg. The theme will be a group of disgraced Night Watchmen; implicated in smuggling, who fled Marineburg before their former colleagues could arrest them. Desperate and with no where else to turn they were drawn to Mordheim the City of the Damned.
The warband is pretty much done and ready for paint.
The FLGS has started a Mordheim campaign. A game I have seen played and been aware of for a very long time but as yet had never played.
This all changed on Wednesday when I grabbed some square basers and put together my warband. I chose Marienburg for the extra Gold Coins they offer and because Witch Hunters were taken :p
To build the warband I have picked up some Empire State Troopers from GW and shall be converting them to be the peacocks that Marienburg is famous for.
