Warhammer TOW and Mordheim warbands – building and painting.

I decided to put a few of my current Mordheim warband and Tow army projects in the same thread.

I think I can start with my dwarfen warband even if it’s not in the correct build order.

These are the figures I choose to have in my warband. Also included are 2 troll slayers.

Then all got proper primer.

A little skin colour was also added. Then I decided to go with mostly red and orange colours for their beards. Some weapons got painted with Vallejo’s black metal.

Painting dwarfs that also will be part of my army later helped me figure out what colours I wanted to use. Here they’re nearly done.

I’ll add some more details and paint their bases.

I also decided to make a warband from the gunnery school of Nuln. Here’s some of the figures.

The two to the left I borrowed from my Mercenary warband, the other ones need some paint.

Getting somewhere.

Almost finished. Like the dwarfs I need to add some details and sort their bases.

A pic of most of my warband figures and some that also doubles as TOW armies.

Above: Some of the new figures I got that could be used in warbands. Some as hired swords probably.

I also built and painted my orc boar chariots. Here I’ve started painting one of them. And also one orc boss on boar and his BSB.

Here compared with the AoS orc boss on boar.

I haven’t decided how to do with some of the AoS figures like the one above, except for changing the base, as it really don’t match the size of the other boars.

I started making bases for my Warband. I decided that my marksmen should have some kind of wooden floors. So I cut plastic stripes and glued on.

For the first one I tried to fit the stripes around his shoes, but that was quite complicated, so for the other three I carefully removed the figures before glueing the stripes.
Here the three first ones got paint on the boards.

The floor for the fourth one took a while longer. Quite happy with how they turned out.
I also started making some kind of stones or bricks with 2k putty.

I also made bricks from cut pieces of cardboard. The rest of the figures got grey paint.

I added some dirt, tufts and grass on a few.

For those with grey bases, I used a fine brush to paint black, forming bricks. Then I used light grey to make some highlights.

After a while I considered my warband that I called Reichwalds Fiffiga Filurer (Clever tricksters).

Now I just need to finish the rest of my militia figures.

One of the things I’ve been working with is my Empire army. And part of that are the militia.
As I plan to participate in the game Mordheim as well, I decided to use some of them as a Warband. I also wanted to have a group of bowmen skirmishers.

In the box there’s quite a few options both for weapons and figures. Something I think is very nice. Here’s a pic of the box.

I started with the figures that are supposed to be bowmen.

I haven’t planned to have any command for this group, but still I made one of the figures so he can act as a champion if needed.

I did a few loading a new arrow and a few that are shooting.

With the heads in place they looked like this.

I’m quite happy with that little band of skirmishers.

Next up was my warband for Mordheim. A friend helped me make a list and then I wrote a note on what weapons they should have.

Trying to sort out which weapons I needed. The blunderbus is for later use, once I can improve their equipment.

The Captain and two figures done.

Four more figures on the way.

Some time later I had assembled 14 figures!

My archers!

The rest of the militia group, almost done!

Here’s all of them done!

Then all of them got black primer.

And then some dry brushed zenithal.

Next, painting them!
