So I sat down a while ago and worked out very crudely when I think everything will be ready to properly start the Warm Ale and Mud Heiligsheld project.
About 12 months.

That is a long time to wait and it bummed me out a little.


Chatting with my wife we suggested revisiting Mordheim as she liked that and it has a low figure count and most of the needed models are already painted.
The only difference is that I would set it in Heiligsheld instead and use rural type terrain rather than ruins.

Hedges, trees, bush, gorse, carts, animals, shrines, bogs, rocks, huts, shacks etc.
Enough terrain so it plays the same but set elsewhere.

So this will be something I will do parallel to WAM.

My question though, is this something that would interest you folks or are you just here for the WFB 3rd edition stuff?

Oh and I will be using the 3rd edition rules in terms of combat and weapons etc.
I will use some relevant skills and the experience system, but things like STR modifying saves, charging meaning you attack first, swords letting you parry etc will all be biffed off.
I never did like any of that, I still think 3rd edition is the ultimate version!

    I can only speak by myself, but I say you can count me interested. Mordheim is just one of those things I never got to play back in the day and I always love seeing other people's projects. I dream of building a board myself one day, but in the meantime I'd enjoy seeing how it all works in your Heiligsheld setting!

    Count me in as interested. I am not just here for the WFB stuff. Would love to see some Mordheim, in your rural setting

More Sylvanian Families

Following on from the Sylvanian zombies of here . I have done the second of my three undead units, some archers. I am using the simple dark red and black scheme of dread Sylvania, as was hinted on the banner of the zombies. However where the zombies are just any old peasants risen from the dead, the skeleton archers are former soldiers and as such the remains of their uniforms can be seen. I was not sure if to stick with the darker dying grass and brown fern bases as in my mind the putridness of the zombies decaying bodies helped this theme make sense, where as the skeletons are just dry bones. So whilst the zombies clearly make worse the land upon which they walk (shamble) do the skeletons? I decided yes, they are dead and animated by foul magics so they have the taint of death and decay about them, plus also the army would look odd if the bases were not all the same. So here they are: Oh, I decided not to go for white bones as was common back in the day, in my head that did not seem ...

Warm Ale and Mud

I am going to try a blog. I do have a website that shows my Warm Ale and Mud stuff: https://angelbarracks.co.uk/ However it does not have a comments section so I thought maybe I would give here a go and see how it pans out. So what is this Warm Ale and Mud all about? I am playing Warhammer Fantasy Battle 3rd edition and I am building the village of Heiligsheld and its surrounds. It is a homebrew village/locale set in Stirland . Once I have enough of the places modelled, buildings, scenery and the people that live there, I will begin to tell stories about the village. These will be played out as games and then published here. We will learn how the village got its name, why it is not on any Imperial maps, how Fraulein Pfiezel came to have what appears to the skull of a beastman on her door, why Otto Klept spends most of his time in the pillory, and much more. It will be almost like a collection of short stories about the village told and modelled in miniature form. The soldiers garriso...

Armbrustschutzen - Update

I posted early on about my unit of Armbrustschutzen HERE . Though from my post about my master plans HERE , you will see that the goal is to have 10 not 5 of the chaps. At long last I have finished the final 5: This now means that 3 of my total of 5 units are complete and that 25 of the 47 models needed are painted. Over half way which is great!! Feels like it has taken an age. I suspect my 5 Fleglers will be easy to paint but I am still undecided if they are followers of Morr, Gadd or Taal.  I am leaning toward Morr, but as with the Holzfaller, they will not be part of the garrison. However whilst the Holzfaller are still villagers who just happen to take up arms against attackers, the Fleglers will be passing by around the time of the grand final battle.  Maybe guided by their deity as needed? Anyway, they are done and the spiel is on the website proper as normal.
