Maikacir's Witch Hunter Warband *W.I.P.*

In my thread at the "welcome Newbies" I said I was going to buy the Empire Militia box, for making my Witch Hunter Warband..
And so I did
(I even found the box on sale.. 35% off!! )

I have just finished my very first Witch Hunter this very evening!
I have been working on this mini for about.. a week or so? Not everyday, of course.. There is this thing called "real life" that keeps on interrupting me - it's quite annoying

Well, I'm very glad at the result and I hope you like it too!!
Equipment:
Sword, pistol, light armour.


This is a W.I.P. picture:




And here is the finished mini:



Sorry for the bad picture(s), but I can't seem to find any good light source in my room

Wow, that's awesome! Very nice GS work, I'm really excited to see what you will do with the rest of the warband.

My littlebrother is coming this weekend, so I may not be able to do very much work on the warband, but still - Next up: second Witch Hunter!

I really like this guy very nice start to the warband, looking forward to see what you do with the rest of them.

impressive and very puritan, in a good way!

Hmm.. didn't really think of that - but you are kinda right (yes, I had to google "puritan" )

Great green stuff work! The pilgrim hat is a difficult sculpt. Most look to thick or unnatural, but yours fits nicely on the model.

Can't wait to see more.

Thanks!
It was one of the most difficult things to sculpt - especially to make it the right size.. But I think it turned out pretty good

VERY WELL DONE! That's a TOTAL transformation. You REALLY created the archtypical Witch Hunter, armed with righteous zeal & ready to burn all the old ladies in town. GREAT WORK! He should look FANTASTIC when you've got him all painted up.

I sure hope he will But I think I will make the rest of the Warband before painting - at least, that is my plan for now ^^

That is.. Brown Stuff XD
Kinda like Green Stuff, it just cures "harder", and can be sanded and such - wich makes it awesome at making armour ^^

The only reason why I used it, was that I didn't have any Green Stuff at that moment

Wow. So many great witch hunter warbands appeared on this forum. It's so nice to see them all. Yours will be also one of the best, after this mini I'm sure

That's one badass witch hunter! Nice work. The pose, hair and coat are great. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the warband.

Just in case you need further inspiration, here is one of the concept art pictures from Warhammer Online. It may gve youa few more ideas.

Thanks a lot for the kind words
Actually - I already have all the pics from Warhammer Online Thats where I found the inspiration for this witch hunter ^^

And the exact picture you have postet, is the one I plan on using as inspiration for my Witch Hunter Captain!
But I'm making him as the last one I guess.. Since I would like that one to be the most awesome one And therefore I need all the experience with Green Stuff I can get, before starting on him ^^

Great minds think alike then. I'm intrigued to see how it looks as a model.

Haha - thanks, I guess
You are the first one ever to say that...

It isn't that hard to do actually.. Just read a lot of tutorials on different GS techniques - the good ones is the ones with pictures, showing you exactly what to do - and then try it out!
Of course playing around with it and trying to sculpt various things, is the best way of getting better

/Maikacir

Okay, I have now glued the next Witch Hunter together!
This is also made intirely from the Militia sprue.. There wasn't any left handed swords though, so I had to do a minor weapon swap


This is still "just" the basic mini.. There is a lot of GS work to be done!

I will post pics as i make progress!

/Maikacir

Well as a fellow wich hunter I say THAT IS SO FRIGGIN COOL!
Oh and are you going too do a Xbow pistol like did?
