ALD & SCHLECK PROPRIETORS
BY WILL
“I’ve had many,
many warbands
over the
years,
but none have
been painted
to completion
(with extra
models ready
for expansion),
plus white and
yellow was a
pain to paint!”
The plan is to let Sveltan and Clara
& Eben grow quickly and earn some
cool skills. Youngbloods are so great
in campaigns, they learn quickly and
can easily outshine the rest of the
warband. Seeing two young children
sprinting, diving charging, pulling off
amazing trick shots, or Sveltan clobbering
people and taking a tonne of
punishment, would be awesome.
For the rest, they support and protect
Clara & Eben – providing the fatherly
care that is somewhat lacking, and
look good doing it. I’ve got the engineer
with long rifle model ready to go,
so hopefully one of my marksmen
can get ‘Lads got talent.’
I’ve never really played more than 5
or so games with a warband, so I’m
keen to watch this one grow and
change over 14 plus scenarios. I love
the post game side of mordheim
and how characters evolve with
both skills and injuries. I’m keen to try
and model injuries for this warband,
and by the end I’ll take a before and
after shot. I also had a rather ambitious
plan to model small vignettes
for each character’s death scene,
these will then be grouped together
in a diorama showing the story of
my warband.
Just quietly, I’m quite impressed
with this warband. I’ve had many,
many warbands over the years, but
none have been painted to completion
(with extra models ready for expansion),
plus white and yellow was
a pain to paint!
Now, let’s put a stop to this horrible
excuse for entertainment (the circus
I mean - not the article)
