GW Garden of Morr for 15mm Fantasy

I recently got the GW Garden of Morr set. I really like it. It's beautifully modeled and detailed. I think the mausoleum buildings are a littleon the small side for 28mm, and wondered what they would look like with 15mm minis. I think they work fine with 15mm, and especially with 18mm. Here's some pics. What do you think?



I could see using these mausoleums to make some pretty cool 15mm Fantasy terrain. Thanks for looking.

And on that day, many tiny paper lizards lost their feet. Or how I made some leaves.

Hi, folks. I added a little vine to a new tower today. A while back I bought this hole punch that punches out little lizard shapes. I was going to use it for some Warhammer Fantasy Battles Lizardmen terrain. Then I noticed how much the feet look like leaves. I had punched out a whole bunch of the lizards from light green construction paper about 6 years ago, and they were still sitting in one of my bitz boxes. All of the lizards had mostly faded from a bright green to a light brown, even better for leaves in Mordheim.
So then I started performing multiple amputations on the poor, defenseless reptiles. (Insert evil laugh here)  :)

Pic below shows lizard feet... err, leaves, added to a sisal twine vine.
Another shot of the leaves. They also make pretty good leaf litter if you have the patience to defeet a bunch of lizards.
And there you have it. A pretty cheap, kind of wierd way to make leaves.
