to these I would add a selection of heads form the Perry metal range




Just for some variety as this is a skirmish game & I also plan to do enough that I can expand my warband beyond the starting numbers given above which would mean increasing the spearmen to a full group of five & may be adding a second group of unarmoured Halbardiers to act as a second rank. A sixth hero with options of each troop type in case of a lads got talent roll would also be in order.

I am fighting the urge to built a Dwarf warband as well  since I saw some in Spirit Games yesterday....





to list but a few

Having steeled myself to do only one warband,    looking in my wallet helped I have now got hold of the Perry European Mercenaries pictured above & given that there are 40 figures in the box a snip at £18 if I say so I will be building two from it. The one above for the border Princes Game & a smaller one for a standard Mordheim game which I have still got to work out but which I will post when I have. Both of them will be Marrienburgers as I have an idea for using them together in another game in the future.

Marienburg Mercenaries   standard sized warband

Hero's

Mercenary Captain Karl von Croitsfieldt             
Heavy armour                         
Two handed Sword                  
Helmet                         
Sword                         
                              

Young blood Squire Kurt                  
Light armour                         
Helmet                        
Sword                           
Buckler                         
                              

Young Blood Squire Erik
Light armour                      
Helmet                        
Sword                           
Buckler                         
                                 
Warriors

Marksmen (two)                     
Helmet                           
Handgun                         
Sword                            
                                 

Spearmen (five)                     
Spear                         

This is a band of fairly inexperienced mercenaries lead by their "noble" lord & his squires the hope would be tom have an initial superiority in numbers & to add better troops as cash allows the spear men are there to keep the enemy off the expensively equipped & very lethal  hand gunners

 I now have the Marienburg Mercenaries for the classic form of Morheim put together from the Perry "European mercenaries". which was quick & painless though the figures being to scale they are a bit delicate especially the spears, which I may have to replace with wire at some point. The shortening of which from pikes proved remarkably easy so end swaps to tun them into pole arm men for the larger warband should be little problem.

I will try to get some pictures of them on here latter. likely tomorrow as I have still managed to avoid getting a USB cable for my phone or finding the card reader for my Camera. the only thing is that the spear men are all in marching poses with their spears shouldered, this is sensible considering the length of the pikes they where makes this the one practical pose for them if you want them to rank up easily. If you want other poses it the easiest would be to mix parts with the "Bill & Bow" box set

I would recommend getting the Perry extra heads shown above if you want more than a few figures with no halmets as the heads in the set are all helmeted in one way or another except one

I now have all the figures put together for the larger Marrienburg warband except I find I have used all of the unarmoured arms & body for the spearmen in the smaller one so will have to share until I can get another box. The spares will do for expansion equipment upgrades & an Idea I have about doing small Warhammer battles with a suitably modified version of Sharp Practice.

I will bring them by the Shop & Portal on  Wednesday they wont be painted yet.


Edit - Update

all the figures I have are now primed & I have gone over them with a sharp knife for a final clean up unfortunately I only had black primer to hand so they are primed black which wasn't quite the original plan

[EvilGinger]

Despite working on other things and not expecting to have got beyond the primered stage I have begun to paint them whilst they wont be finished by Wednesday they will be a work in progress. I still need sort out Cameras et al so no pictures yet

A dwarf warband I plan to do eventually with Mantic plastics as troops & reaper as heroes, this is the smaller sized one for classic Mordheim
 
Heroes
Dwarf Noble

Heavy armour, Dwarf axe, Spear, helmet ,shield. @175 gold



Troll slayer
Two dwarf axes @ 80 gold



even if it only has one axe

engineer
Light armour Brace of pistols Sword @110 gold



Warriors

Beardlings (2)
Light armour, helmet spear @ 65 each  



a small band which would likely work better in the larger format with more warriors but still I like my dwarves.

did a bit more painting on my Marienburg mercenaries for the first time in quite a while as it was too hot to think or do detail so blocking in colours worked nicely.

I will post some pictures but I am still mastering my Camera phone though I can get pictures the right way up now which is a result of a sort
