Return to the Cursed City of Ulfenkarn
Ruins (I lied we have MDF)
Ruins (I lied we have MDF)
Some of the comments I had back on the build so far was I need to add more levels in terms of height. Mordheim as mentioned before tends to be more open plan buildings, basically ruins with 2 or more levels to provide vantage points for archers. The other issue I had was trying to have enough buildings to cover the 4 by 4 area at a reasonable cost.
I ended up going with the Kromlech Frostgrave ruins which are MDF kits. I know I said at the start no MDF but I just could not find any plastic ones. While 3D printed might have been an option the cost of each building was about 20-40 pounds. The Kromlech kit you get nine buildings in the set which work out to about 4 pounds each.
I have had other MDF kits before but the Kromlech I found is a step above them. The first thing I noted was they had cleaned the kits. Normally the MDF are covered in soot which has to be cleaned first but in this case someone from Kromlech must have already done this. The kits are also lettered and the parts numbers with clear diagrams showing how they are built. Other companies should take note here the biggest crumble I had with previous ones is trying to understand the build instructions.
Short of time I only built 3 of them for now. Gave them a quick gray spray can primer before base colours of dark gray, brown for the floors and walls and cream for the panels. The stone work then got a wash with watered down black ink, a basic dry brush with the lighter gray. The floors got a brown wash to muddy them up a bit.
It is basic level table top standard for now but I will come back to them in the future to clean up the paint work. They are good enough to play a game which is all that matters at the moment.
