Dwarven Drawbridge

Here's my dwarf-engineered, steam-powered drawbridge. It's based on an archway and turret from the Zvezda Royal Castle, with some bits from various model railway kits, and pipes made from mains copper wiring. The drawbridge actually draws, although I don't supply pictorial evidence.

Slumming It

Here's a tight grouping of buildings for that classic Warhammer slum feel. These are resin casts which I bought off a bloke on the internet. Unfortunately I've lost the guy's details.

Marius Garten

I wanted a crappy bit of greenery for the Moedlhafen public to enjoy. This uses the GW chapel and some other bits and pieces. The statue is from a 54mm Agincourt set. It's supposed to be Marius in bad repair (because nobody cares!). And someone's swiped his spear.

Warehouses and Weathering

Here's the warehouse district. I experimented with a bunch of weathering and stuff to make it dirty. Not sure if I like it or not.


One of the warehouses is marked WHSE 13, which is a reference to WFRP1 SoB. I didn't actually think to use the plans in SoB to base the model on, though.

City Walls

Here are the city walls which are about 90% GW fortress. The city gate has some sort of notice board which I was thinking might work a bit like the Deutz Elm in Nuln. It's designed to join seamlessly with other buildings and the other bits of wall. Unfortunately the fortress wall pieces are about 6mm shorter than the modules, which means my city wall has loads of huge holes in it, that you could probably walk through if you were a plastic goblin.


This is a watch tower / barracks for the city guard. You have to wonder why they didn't build it out of stone. It's also looking extremely clean. I'm not usually a big fan of making my models dirty (my FoW general makes sure his tanks get a good scrubbing every day), but I'm currently trying to work out how best to dirty Moedlhafen up a bit.

I've made a puddle that you can see on the very bottom pic, but it looks like someone's dropped a load of Woodland Scenics Realistic Water, rather than the result of the dismal Imperial weather.
