Human Mercenaries Middenheim Warband in Mordheim Old World Warhammer!

[@DevsDice]

Hey good people! The Middenheim mercenary warband is complete! These minis were super-fun to print and paint! I am really happy with the end result! What do YOU think? Which Mordheim Warband should I cover next? Please tell me in the comments down below! Stay safe and lots of love to you all! 👍💙💛💙

[@TheCraftCave]

Awesome work Leif! I love your paint schemes for you warband!

[@Alessio_del_Trovata]

Thx for this new release. How about some beastmen?

[@pharmasonus]

great job ! next warband should be chaos dwarfs :)

[@battleshipman56]

Amazing opening and good narration. You should think about doing narrations or intros to lore and stuff, eaisly one of the best thus far from the various channels and people I've heard narrate. Amazing work, too, and as always, you produce outstanding content! Learning more about mordheim since you have started doing it.

[@WyattRichardson-ps8uk]

Ostlanders or averlanders would be cool

[@bolicob]

Vae Victis is one of the best 3d miniature sculpter out there. Their minis are the perfect level of proportions, realism, and stylization, with fantastic character design.

[@DevsDice]

For sure! Vae Victis are awesome! 👍😊

[@jorditauste2439]

Last Sword Miniatures has quite the exquisite range for a Middenheim warband if you want your middenheimers to wear armor,(look for their duchy Avernia or the Wolf warband miniatures range) they also have a version of the Wolf Priest for those of you who want to field an Ulric Priest

[@DevsDice]

Thank for sharing the suggestion! Yeah I have my eyes on Last Sword for sure! 👍😊

[@watts18269]

I love waking up and seeing a new vid from your Leif, for my dose of Scandinavian-warhammer-crafting-humour. Half the time I don’t even mind what the video is about you’re just an infectious dude. Cheers mate!

[@DevsDice]

Hahahaha! Well thank you very much! That means a lot to me to hear you say that! Thank you! 👍😊

[@hephesto555666]

Oeh another ace set of digital assets. Fun stuff. As for posing bits and having limited time, green stuff can really help as it reacts almost instantly with super glue. So you can add a drop of glue on say the torso and an arm, while putting a tiny blob of mixed green stuff in between. The connection points will harden, while the center stays flexible for a bit longer, allowing for more posing or more challenging conversions.

[@DevsDice]

That's some solid advice right there! Thank you for this! I will consider this going forwards! 👍😊

[@thehappyogryn]

That intro about Middenheim was awsome, just like a Trobador recounting tales of mighty warriors.

[@DevsDice]

That is so nice of you to say! The intros are one of my favorite bits to do in my warbands-series! 👍😊

Fireforge's Northmen line could work fairly well for this too. The range is fairly limited though. Would need some kitbashing.

[@Hrotiberhtaz]

Nordland is more vikingish tbh. It's essentially a mix of Jutes and Danes, which is modern Denmark and Sweden. Their ancestors are called the Wes Jutones and they have a love/hate kinda relationship with the tribes of Norsca (Norway) who's ancestry they share. You can look at it like this, Norsca worships the viking chaos deities (The Jötnar) while Nordland follows the gods of order (Aseir and Vanir), which one of them is Ulric (Tyr) Middenheim has more of a straight up Saxon tribe mythology mixed with the Teutonic Order.

This is so cool! Have you ever thought about "blowing up" the minis you design to print out and paint like a 'office desk flair' version? I'd love to display some minis on my desk, but with them being relatively small they can get knocked over or lost pretty easily. If there were bigger, say like 15-20cm tall, I feel like it would be neat.

[@DevsDice]

That is a swell idea for sure! There are some 75mm display miniatures that would love to paint such as a good Charlie Cox - Daredevil statuette. Ideally before he gets the "finished" Daredevil costume. Liked the black simple one he had myself! 👍😂

[@Bluecho4]

On the subject of models, you can easily pillage historical miniatures ranges as well for cheap plastic parts. My recommendation would be to start with Victrix Ltd.'s Viking kit. 60 models for $46, with a plethora of weapon and head options (including plenty of unhelmeted heads, for lore accuracy, though you also have helmets), and even animal pelts. (They're meant to be bear pelts, by the looks of the one head option draped in an obvious bear skin, but the other bits are not obviously ursine). You could just build these models as-is, so they're very viking. Or you could combine the parts with Landsknecht bodies. Sources for the latter include Warlord Games, or Wargames Atlantic's "Conquistadors" kit (which was made generic enough for most Renaissance European countries). Stick the viking heads, pelts, and maybe weapons on to complete the look. You could alternatively look into some medieval men-at-arms and knight minis from, say, Perry Miniatures, if you aren't jazzed about Viking Landsknecht. It's really up to you.

Wonderful video as always Leif, I loved how you kitbashed the 3d models! I was wondering if you'd ever do a battle report of some kind, with your warbands?

Excellent video as always Leif! 3d printing is not an option for me but we have been using a lot of Frostgrave and Wargames Atlantic miniatures. So, I have question, we've been playing Mordheim on and off for a few months now. We've made mistakes with the rules but we're having fun. Most teams are leveling up nicely and have a nice stash of gold crowns saved up. Can we go over the starting strength for teams sizes? I couldn't find anything that talked about that in the rules but you mentioned that you were going to increase the sizes of your team at a later time. Most teams have a max of 12-15 members, is that only for starting? From the Witch Hunters team: "The maximum number of warriors in the warband may never exceed 12". Thanks!
