Return to the Cursed City of Ulfenkarn

Buildings

Part of Ulfenkarn which is south of the wall is where the population live and work. I wanted some buildings I could use to represent this. While looking for the walls I noted the same company also did some plastic buildings. They have a cottage, a couple of houses, barn etc.

The kit is really easy to put together. The base has a number of slots around the outedge that the side walls slot and then push into to secure. The end walls then click into the base and then click into the side walls. The upper floor if the building has one rests on tabs located on the inside of the wall giving some of them 2 levels. The roofs are two halves which click together and sit on top. The walls fit together without the need for glue and can be taken apart again if you really need to. The roof I found would fall apart a little too easily so I glued those two parts together the rest I left unglued.

I finished painting up the chapel. I wanted to keep them the same theme as per the walls so I kept with a dark gray and just picked out random stones with different gray and blues I also used on the wall. Then it was a dry brush of gray and white to pick out the edges. The roof was done using an orange contrast paint.

For the houses I used whites and creams for the walls and painted the wooden parts using a contrast brown colour. Having to pick out all the beams and trying to avoid getting the paint on the walls was a time consuming process. The buildings have internal details as well like beams, benches on the side for the chapel. I did not bother to paint these as we wont be using the inside of the building, I just did the floor. I could always come back and paint these later if I wanted to use them for D&D.

Overall the buildings are really nice. They are better than MDF and a lot cheaper than getting resin ones. They fill the board up nicely and at least give the impression people are living in the city.

For Mordheim Typically they have ruins which are open plan and have height and levels to move between them. While I could have bought more of these buildings and taken clippers to the walls they are a little too good for that. I will work out something else for ruins and use these as more of a background for the board.
