Zerfleischen is German for retribution.

Actually, it is not. That would be "Vergeltung" (=retribution). "Zerfleischen" is German for "to lacerate" or "to maul" (note that it's not a noun like "Vergeltung" - so "laceration" would be "Zerfleischung" whereas "Zerfleischen" is exactly "to lacerate").

A very nice rendering of the traditional Reddish Brown/Black colors. The Red collar & leg band add a nice splash of brighter color, AND good looking metal work; i.e., the silver is very eye catching. WELL DONE!
COOL NAME: very much in character & it just looks cool in German. I wonder what Fluffy would look like in German.

That would be "kuschelig"

COOL! Kuschelig, it is! German IS a fine language. What other language could make "Fluffy" sound vaguely sinister?

Sorry for the off topic. It was done in the spirit of research, kind of.

Then I mixed up my translations; thank you Cianty! The translation I found for Verfleischen was "to rend", so "to maul" or "to lacerate" work just as well.

Thanks for the feedback, as well.

Nice Rotty ^_^. He's suitably beefy.

Wheee updates!! Firstly, I scored in the LGS and found this:

The 20 man limited release Empire Flagellant box. Its enough to create some unique (read unique as no duplicates) Zealots and Flagellants...who can also serve double duty in my Empire force.

I'm gonna go start tinkering with em now

That would be dutch, the dutch word for fluffy is "pluizig".

Nice work on the Witch Hunters, Xi! Looking forward to see the rest of the warband.


Cheers!

Just a small update here; no pics since I am at work. I have put together three zealots and WOW lookit all the bitz that come in this kit! Scrolls, chains, little skulls, Sigmar pendants...

I'd recommend the Flagellant box to anyone who likes gubbinz.

Very nice pooch. Looking forward to see what you do with the Flagellants.

Another fine language that makes a cutesy word sound OMINOUS. Thank Pfreck.

AND congratulations on the new toys, M'Lord!

Those flagellants are awesome!

I own the box, and with a little creativity and green stuff, you can make almost 40 guys out of the box!

Congrats for the new toys, and we'll be waiting to see them painted.

Can you really get 40 guys out of that box???

If you have a little ability to make GS bodies (not at all difficult, as they are just long robes), you have enough heads and arms as to make A LOT more models, yes.

And you can always use them for "back ranks" in your WHFB RaF unit.

Here is a shot of my cobblestone bases:



And here is a link to my tutorial for above bases.

Here I go pimping Privateer Press again ...no I dont get commissions.

But their war dog figure looks so cool! (it helps that they did a kick butt job on painting it too) I picked one up the other day for my gaming groups pool of hired sword minis

Now THAT is one NASTY looking puppy. It kind of makes you understand why some folks prefer cats.

Cool looking dog model, but if I'm not wrong, it's MASSIVE! (near the size of an old GW horse)

About the flagellants, here are pics of just five bodies I made with green stuff (actually a cheaper white stuff, as I didn't really need all that detail).

The center one is kneeling.

VERY NICE WORK! Your WSing is JUST BEAUTIFUL, some FINE looking Frothing, Fanatical Loonies there. Hey Amigo, you've GOT TO open up a Thread with more of your WORKS of WONDER. INSPIRATIOAL STUFF!

Thanks. I may.

But I posted these here as an answer to this:
