I'm not entirely happy with the sculpted torches and stuff many of the Witch Hunter miniatures have as the fire rarely looks good painted, but it's not a big deal. He's also not got his proper base yet. I'm planning to use the round beveled bases that you can see in, for example, Warmachine.
I've had a whole lot of old Mordheim minis just laying around for ages that I bought back in the day, mostly with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in mind. So this guy won't only find work in a Witch Hunter warband but also as a figure for the Initiate of Sigmar in our WFRP3 group. Two birds with one stone and all that!
At first I thought I'd make a Beastman warband as I need to paint some beastmen for the RPG anyway, but it felt kind of boring so I dug up the good old Witch Hunters instead. I've scoured the net looking for other, alternative minis and found a really cool looking guy that I'll use as a captain and also a pack of really awesome warhounds! I'll show you when I get them.
Burn the heretic !
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll start a Chaos warband ... Might be funny to hold an "arms race"!

Hehe! I'm an old Chaos follower myself (having a painted Chaos warband) so it's fun playing the opposite side.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm always up for an arms race! It's a great way to motivate painting if nothing else! :D
