I've had an on going blog about my work rehabbing my old mordheim stuff from 20 years ago, but I figured this labor of love deserved its own showcase. I've spent the better part of 3 months working on this off and on as I had time. I've finally put the finishing touches on it, so here it is. Anyt questions about materials or how it was done, feel free to ask.























As always thanks for looking, and comments and criticism are welcome and appreciated!

Nice work, and useful. When I saw the first picture I thought "what's the point unless you can get inside it..." so I was happy to see the other pics!

I see a ton of Mordheim stuff (on a couple FB groups) and often people are making big gorgeous buildings which do little to add to the gameplay and it makes me sad. Gotta have floors, access, bridges, walkways, etc. Nice work!

Thanks for the feedback. Elbows I find it is always a hard balance between between an aesthetically pleasing and realistic build vs. one that is gameplay friendly. I try to forge the middle path, and hopefully I have succeeded in this build. For example I wanted to have rubble to indicate where the roof and walls had fallen in, but I didnt want to have totally uneven surfaces, for fear of the dreaded wobbly model syndrome. So I put some rubble in, but most of it fairly flat and easy to place a base on. Originally I was going to have the font gates open as it is on the original cardboard building that inspired this build, but it just looked wrong with out the doors. One day I may go back and try to rip one of them off and have it laying damaged on the side, but for now I'm happy with it as is.

Classic! Looks very useful for mixing in with more ruined structures.

Thanks Kestral, glad you like it! I already have one more building done, which if you are interested you can find in my mordheim blog https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/737130.page

The goal is to replace all my old mordheim card buildings with more permanent builds. Also I just missed making terrain, so thats really the main driving force

Awesome terrain piece, I think the gameplay and aesthetic considerations are balanced nicely.

The details are lovely and it definitely feels like a centrepiece.

Thanks RedMesa! Its definitely intended as a center piece, in fact I kind of think of it as the town hall kind of building.
