Mordheim Counters & Objectives - Work in Progress

-

 

I've amassed quite a few odds and ends over the past couple of years and decided to sit down and create some tokens and objective markers for Mordheim.  The bulk of the resin items are from Kromlech including the crystals (wyrdstone!), books, chests and barrels.  The blue resin items are 3D printed crates and chests.

The flagstone bases are 'Dungeon Stone' from Back to Base-ix.  The other bases are old GW square bases with chopped up coffee stir sticks.

I'm hoping to add some house rules to incorporate more secondary objectives into the Mordheim scenarios.  A lot of the core scenarios are very similar, and often it would be good to have something additional at stake, particularly for weaker warbands.

Mordheim Board - Docks Pt I

I have been really happy with how the ruined temple of Myrmidia is coming together.  I think it has a distinct style for the stonework and I also really like how well it combines with plastic/resin kits and the fact I can use super glue (which is not so easy with foam).  All of that has inspired me to create a new 3 foot by 3 foot Mordheim docks board in the same style.  I wanted to share my plan, my process and some progress photos.  I expect that there will be many more updates to come as this will take a while!! Plan: The objective with the table is to have a single 3x3 foot table with: - multiple levels to eliminate firing lanes - a large resin pour dock with jetties and moored ships - a terminating road and small square - a consistent style that will tie into my temple board and some of my other projects Materials: - The board itself is a 3 foot by 3 foot framed canvas.  I read somewhere that these can be used for gaming tables and I'm keen to try it out....

Mordheim Board - Docks Pt IV

A bank holiday today which means more work on the Mordheim board.  With the paving complete, it's time to add a few skulls and skeletons and add grout and sand.  Managed to do a first pass of the entire board in a couple of hours and its looking good. Step one is to take the grout mix (one part grout to three parts sand) and pile it on top of the paving. Using an old paint brush, I spread it around making sure it gets down into all the gaps.  I find diagonal strokes are best to ensure you are not brushing it out of the gaps. After a quick spray of isopropyl alcohol, I use a syringe to drop watered-down PVA into all the grout lines. It's a slow process but it looks really good!! Prior to grouting I added a few skulls and skeletons.  That way they look they are partially buried in the dirt and rubble when the grouting is done.  I'm using a cheap box of skeletons (not GW) plus the GW skulls box.   I've been pretty haphazard in the assembly as I know it is...

Mordheim Board - Docks Pt III

Another weekend has come and gone, and a little more progress has been made on this Mordheim board.  My focus has been on the dock area itself and that means building jetties.  Very straight forward - balsa for the posts and supports, and coffee stir sticks for the planking.  I wanted two separate jetties running perpendicular to the dock - one at a lower level so that it would be more suitable for smaller vessels to dock, and the other at the regular height for the bigger ship.  I think I'm going to have to add some little ladders to the smaller one regardless. I've also smashed out a heap of paving on the top surface.  Deeply regretting cutting the dock in at a slight angle as it means cutting a lot of custom tiles to fit, but it is looking pretty good and almost finished!! The remaining steps will be to add sand and grout between the pavers, and random rubble and skeletons to the board, and also to prep the boats.  I want to kit-bash a figurehead on to t...
