Another Mordheim piece

Had this one sitting around for awhile but finally was able to finish it.  I'm trying to build all the buildings you can find in the exploration section of the rulebook.  This would count as the well that you can send someone to search (as long as you don't drink the water).

This instead of that

So instead of working on much needed e-bay scenery and miniatures, I decided to paint this guy up.  He's a hired sword for Mordheim.  I was tired of playing him in primer black.
Would you like one axe or two?

Mordheim three-way

I was able to play a multi-player game of Mordheim thanks to my sister-in-law and her boyfriend.  Even though I got slaughtered (again) it was still great fun.  Next time I'll try to put together a battle report.  For now, enjoy the pics.
Enjoy!

Tip of the Month: Paint Stripping

One question I always seem to get asked is how to strip paint from minis.


Easy.  Just an overnight soak in Castrol Super Clean brake fluid will remove paint from any miniature whether its plastic, resin, or metal.


Now a word to the wise for anyone thats going to do this.  Commit this to your memory, write it down, tatoo it on your forearm:
brake FLUID  FLUID  FLUID FLUID!!!

The last person who I told this to wanted to strip a Land Raider of what he thought was a bad paint job.  So I told him the very same thing above.  So what did he do?  He used brake cleaner. 


After the overnight soak, he was left with a glob of molten plastic that probably could be molded into an Epic size Land Raider.  So much for that.


Once it is soaked, use an old toothbrush to get rid of those hard to reach areas and your model will look good as new, ready for new paint.  (Let it dry first)
