The empire warrior priests are far superior to the mordheim one and the witch hunters are still available as a random blister from games workshop, warhounds are quite difficult to come across but I don't use them so that doesn't bother me.<br />The mercenary captains are still available but they are firstly crap models for the most part and secondly you get a random model from games workshop so you can't guarantee getting a good one. A far better option (if you have some minor converting skill) is to get the Mannann's blades command group from forge world - the captain with sword and shield looks good for reikland, the musician can easily be turned into a man with two weapons for marienburg and the standard bearer can with a little patience (cutting off the banner top and bottom and adding either a axe or hammer head to the top)be turned into a man with a great weapons foe middenheim. The rest of the mercenary warbands can be made from free company boxes.<br />The sister of sigmar are a pain in the arse and not that good anyway but if you really wanted to do them I would suggest getting the starter pack two or three times and go nuts with conversions.<br />For the undead I personally prefer one of the slightly older blood dragon vampires as they mostly come with heavy Armour, sword, shield and helmet and look far better to the von carstein's. I don't mind the mordheim necromancer myself but the warhammer one is better (as is the empire wizard kit which would make both a necromancer and a wizard for hire). Dregs are a pain - if you can't find the real models I would once again use the empire free company. I don't really like the mordheim zombies so for all 3 types of henchmen (ghoul, zombie, dire wolf) I would use the games workshop boxes.<br />The skaven are one of the easiest to do. Any warhammer assassin makes a adept ( i would likely use the one with weeping blades and throwing stars myself), for the sorcerer you can use grey seers or warlock engineers, ikit klaw or simply a skaven with a concerted staff. Black skaven, and night runners can be made quite easily from gutter runner blister packs, verminkin can be made from clanrats but personally I would use the night runners box and try to get some spears, swords and shields for them (e-bay most likely). The giant rats and rat ogre are simply the rat ogre box which contains both as well as three pack masters with whips and swords.<br />Orc, beastmen, dark elf, high elf and dwarf warbands are so easy from the warhammer range their is little point in me pointing specific models out.<br />The chaos dwarf warband is a bit harder but you can get almost everything you need from either forge world or e-bay. the only other thing is slaves which I would once again use the all filling free company for.<br /><br />I'm quite glad to find that their are still mordheim players out there and somewhere for me to share my modelling and conversion experience with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456877650915679106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752210916640976400.post-88649084881760089542012-04-21T19:23:50.501-04:002012-04-21T19:23:50.501-04:00That last picture is sick ...
