I finally finished the I had been working on. I still have to cover them in varnish, however.

I know this is not scenery of an amazing quality. It's rather simple and not really well finished. But people (and ork players) say quantity has a quality of its own, so I thought I would post it here anyways.

Everything is built from cardboard and polistyrene. There is no wood or plastic on any of these terrain items.

That means I already have everything I need to play one campaign I designed. I was not going to get any pictures of the scenery until I managed to get the battle reports from the campaign playthrough... but some of my friends visited me and convinced me to put all my mordheim-specific scenery together and take some pictures.

The board in general:





A pirate looks at the city from an isolated guard post:



Then, his band of sailors get off their galleon:




Crossing some small bridges, they seem ready to claim that portion of the city as their own:



The band divides to cover more ground:



But they don't notice they are being watched!



As the first mate finds a book laying on the ground, some skaven stalk him on the background:



But he is not the only one who is in trouble, since the cannonner of the ship is outnumbered...




Soon, most sailors are in real trouble, cornered against the rubble, trying to defend themselves with whatever they can use as a weapon...




Some pirates try to retaliate, taking some skavens by surprise:




Soon, a full battle begins!



I am glad I finally have enough mordheim terrain to not to need any more for some time. Now, I can devote myself to other projects, such as finishing my Space Marine army.

I really like it, the building and cobblestone pavement really print out a lot of life in this terrain. Nice job! I think this table will be absolutely perfect if you added some water effects for the blue parts of the table.

The buildings are torn down and falling apart but they don't look weathered. I like this board and I would play on it but it all looks too clean in all honesty.

Great board with tons of Mordheim appropriate terrain. I can't help but feel that the board feels too "bright" for the dark city streets of Mordheim though. Just a personal thought :X

that has to do more with my style. I always aim for functional, terrain, trying to avoid rules discussions, in a cartoony-style, with well defined lines and clean surfaces.

We are playing with miniatures after all, it's not a huge realistic diorama, but a modular playing field where giant bipedal rats cut pirates to shreds for us to have fun stories to tell. Therefore, I tend to avoid aplying weathering to my armies, while using edge highlighting in my models to reinforce that "not-so-serious" cartoony look, and my terrain is just a simplification of what real buildings would be like, not aiming for total fidelity (Except for my resin warhammer 40k terrain not shown here, as resin allows me for much more detail and complexity, while keeping the building user-friendly with elements that can be dissasembled during play to access lower floors).

But yes, I'm aware this terrain it is not on the same league as some really talented modelers and painters. Anyway, thanks everybody for considering worthy of playing on!

Personally, I really like it. I'm a sucker for dockside stuff and this looks like huge fun on which to play.

I second the call for some water FX though.

Great board.
