Mordheim Tavern 🍻
I just finished building & painting a 2 story destroyed tavern intended for Mordheim & Black Death City! It's made from foamboard, coffee stir sticks, cardstock, square balsa wood dowels, and Lego window frames :D
In hindsight, I'm not really sure if it reads like a tavern, probably going to 3D print a little sign for it or something in the future :)
My friend has a nice camera and took some cool pictures (including the first one in this set) of my Mordheim stuff, and I thought I would share! <3

I have a bunch of terrain supplies but I have barely built anything. This is awesome Do you recommend a piece of terrain to build in order to get started?

First, thank you so much! ❤️🙏 and, yeah I definitely do. I would start with something small, like a corner of a destroyed building, with like maybe 1 floor above ground level. You can bang 1-4 of them out pretty quickly, see how the materials feel and go together. And, if you like how they turn out, you’ll probably get ideas of how to go bigger. Devs & Dice on YouTube has an amazing array of Mordheim terrain videos, and he even provides templates for many of them. I would find the corner ruins one and start there. Hope that helps, and happy crafting!!

Thank you! I love devs&dice hes why I bought all of the terrain supplies but I just sit there and stare at it trying to think of what to make 😅 I appreciate the suggestions and I definitely will do that! 🙏🏻

Haha yeah I feel you, sometimes it feels overwhelming just to get started. Once you do, it usually goes smoothly (ish) from there. Wishing you the best! 🙏❤️

Great looking building!! Maybe if you want it to read more like tavern, I would add a couple of tables inside and one of those hanging sign outside. But looks great already anyway

It looks absolutely stunning! Gameplay-wise I think it can be a very strong bastion for the player that can easily access the inside and shoot out of the windows. For the next building I would suggest having entrances on all sides. But again, absolutely gorgeous building!

Yeah, in hindsight, I would’ve busted more of the walls down, it’s a bit of a tight space in there. Next time! Haha thank you for the kind words!! ❤️🙏

This is really beautiful work. I'd happily stab a Reiklander for insultuing the Empress and then drink his ale, in there.

Ty so much for the kind words!! Yeah, I mix up pva glue, fine sand, baking soda, craft paint (just to help see where I put it mostly) and a little bit of water. I kinda eyeball all the proportions until it’s a sludge-like or gel-like consistency and then apply it to the walls in between the coffee stir sticks. I hope that helps! 🙏❤️
