Mordheim 2022 Invitational: Choir Member

Into the City of the Damned once more!

 
With Mordheim 2022 rapidly approaching, I decided that I wanted to use my Sisters of Sigmar warband from Mordheim 2019. With this in mind, I wanted to convert a new model to join the warband. Looking over some of Games Workshop’s more recent releases, I realized the vampire from the Exiled Dead warband for Warhammer Underworlds would be a good fit. The model’s tall stature and trench coat reminded me of Alexander Winberg’s Sisters of Sigmar warband, the Choir, a faction of the Sisterhood who stands guard to someone deep within an oubliette within the sanctums of the Rock. For my 2019 warband, I actually converted a member of the Choir, following Alex’s design, and felt it would be neat to create another!

The base model used in the conversion is from the Exiled Dead Warhammer Underworlds warband.



Foil from a wine bottle was used to create the “fabric” for the Sister’s banner.


I used modeling putty to add a host of additional details, like pouches and twin-tailed comet belt buckle.

  2. I like the looming, almost predatory vibe of them.
    -Just reread your showcase of your Sisters from the 2019 event and must say that the design philosophy behind your conversions really speaks to my ideal re-imagining of the warband. You mentioned wanting to look into the new Sisters of Battle, I'd be curious what you would do with, for example, the kill-team set of Sister's novices. In any case, Mordheim 2022 sounds like great fun!

    1. Thank you for the kind words! I really do need to try and convert a few more Sisters using components from the new Sister of Battle range. The Kill-Team models would work really well without too much effort (mainly just replacing the weapons).
