Welcome to the Grimdark Compendium’s Guide to Mordheim! This deep dive into Games Workshop’s low-fantasy, tabletop skirmish game, developed in 1999, known for its darker tones and medieval apocalyptic atmosphere, will cover every aspect of the game. From art analysis, insights into the grimdark aspects, terrain/MDF treatments, and immersive gaming tips, to painting tutorials for every war band, this series will leave you with a deep knowledge of all things Mordheim!
In this intro video, I explain everything you can expect to learn from this 12-episode series, which will get you ready for what’s to come, and explain why Mordheim is such a fantastic game that is lately attracting more and more players and modelers, and how it survived so many years while still being iconic and unique.

The series is fantastic and captivating. The download links for episodes 5 and 6 don’t work however.

What did you use for the cheese cloth? That brown liquid to apply it on the model.
Dark Ages Workshop
It’s just AK Dark Earth texture paste, highly diluted in water. PVA glue, water and a very little amount of Dark Earth give the cheese cloth/paper mache a good finish and durability.

This series is beyond anything I’ve seen before in terms of detail and production quality. Bingeable.

This series is perfect. I would like to see notes included for the materials, paints, model kits, stls, etc that are used in the production. Would it be possible to get them? I feel like it would add a lot of value.

Hot tip for anyone wanting to create a Concept Board / Mood Board, there’s a much quicker way than the method demonstrated.
Download the free program “PureRef” – it’s made for this exact purpose. From there, you can literally Right-click->Copy Image from your web browser, paste it into PureRef and then resize/drag it around. The canvas size will continue to expand automatically as you need more room. This skips a LOT of steps if you use the Photoshop/Paint.net method. You won’t need to download images and spend the time opening and then moving them into a central canvas, so you can save a ton of time.
If you’re using a website that blocks “copying” or downloading images (Instagram, etc), you can always use Firefox’s Right-click->”Take Screenshot” feature, or the Windows Snipping Tool.
