But we don't do the "you get what you see" since it is almost impossible to make cool figures if doing that and I make my figures from what I think is cool, not what I will do woth them later...

I like flashy, fancy weapons But that is only me

You are not alone...comforting feeling, isn't it?. Somewhere long the way, I became MUCH more of a modeler/painter than a gamer. I leave the winning/losing thingy to the dedicated gamers; my philosophy is: if it isn't cool, why bother doing it?

After having slept only 3 hours last night I am really tired and gory I am sooo longing for my new models... I really can't wait to get them... I want my models, send my models now... I want I want I want....

*Sounds like a little girl in the store*

Guess what, today I got a bunch of models They didn't have the rest in stock and sends them later. Ihope

Lonnia, Female Duelist
Shaedra, Paladin
Ishara Snowflinch, Female Druid
Female Viking Warrior
Celt Warhound Pack
Garr, War Dog Alpha

The Celt warhounds were very small, thought they were bigger, but the doghandler were nice and I might be able to use them anyways The Alpha dog were really big but I think it will fit on a orc plate. The other figures were great

Very nice selection Trulsa. Now go to your painting table ! I'm a bit late but can I add my captain witch-hutress (?), it's the mini on the right of the picture and it came from Enigma. Maybe e bit on the XVIII th century but I like nevertheless.

CONGRATULATIONS on your new minis! Have FUN painting them up!

The last 9 months have been really hard on me, being ill almost all the time. Now I have only 4 weeks left before giving birth to my second child and even if I haven't painted a lot those months I have finally collected all the figures for my female witch hunter war band. I have painted a little more than half of them and here are the result. Some of the pictures are really strange but I will take new ones later.

War dogs:







The following two are way to big for mordheim, really not the right scale but since they are suggested in the thread and I have painted them I will put them up here:




Witch hunter captain:


Her face is really badly done, really shallow and no details. I was really disappointed on this model since her face is so bad.

Witch hunter:



flagellants:


she looks really strange in this pictures, she has spots all over her skin and those are not showing in reality.


this picture went all grey, what happened?


Warrior priest:


this model fits really good in a sister of sigmar warband to.

Great warband! It will be cool to see some action pics once you are done.

Those aare all cool minis, I specially like the last warrior priest and the hounds.
The first two babes are great! but I don't think they look much like witch hunters.. maybe adding a hat to the first one, I don't know.

Still, you could arrange some fluff-work to make it fit
Cheers mate, nicely done!

Sorry, but as a woman, I can't miss that information!
Congratulations!!!

Now on topic.
I love the dogs The brown dogs are perfect. The black dogs need a little more highlighting, maybe better with brown than grey, looks more natural.

Witch hunters look very good, better than your old works, so I think it's a big progress! I especially like the warrior priest. I've seen this mini mostly in Sister of Sigmar warbands, but it's really good in your female witch hunters warband.

Now if you want some advice:
- blonde hair looks better if you begin to paint it from brown than from black
- try to paint the eyes more carefully. You can do that, last two minis have very nice eyes. But the captain looks very scared - the women shouldn't fear anyone!
- the metal parts would look better if you washed them black

Nice warband, it's a big work you've done!

Excellent choice of minis, by the way.


Best wishes for you and children

OH MY GOD...ONLY FOUR WEEKS TO GO! Take care of yourself...lots of rest & chicken soup; save the photos until later.

The Witch Hunter Babes look TERRIFIC. When your youngest starts sleeping through the night, MAYBE we'll see some more stuff. VERY WELL DONE!

It is really strange because a lot of the figures that I took photos of became really strange in color. The viking warrior actually have a pretty bright green cloth in front, her face looks all messed up and the contrast between the BROWN shoes and the GREY fur isn't there at all, it all looks grey. A funny thing is that the viking warrior has an ugly light spot under the right eye in real life but that doesn't show at all in the picture, instead she has a lot of other ugly spots All in all there are a lot more blueish tones in most of the figures and the "black" dog is actually brown and very much more highlighted. So I realy don't know what I have done with the camera

Tonight my warband kicked the cult of possessed tiny buts, my 3 dogs really rocked and took out several people (why the dogs? They shouldn't take out his heroes, my heroes should)

I love playing mordheim, it is really fun to play but I get so inspired all the time. I love to paint and model even more and now I really want to convert some figures to make a carnival of chaos war band And I am still expermienting with my sisters


Thank you for the congratulations It has been a very bad pregnancy so I haven't done much those last months, just trying to get by. Last week we decided with 5 friends that we should play mordheim today so I have really speedpainted my witch hunters (since one of the friends wanted to borrow my possessed warband) Now I will go and do a mini death in my bed, it is 2.20 am and I usually sleep at least 2.5 hours ago

This warband is really coming together, I like it! I'm especially a fan of the warrior priest and the second witch hunter (right after the captain) - both are lovely models and they look great! I like the sword on the second witch hunter a lot, and the bronze/gold armor with the blue cloth is a good color combination.

I can definitely sympathize - my camera brings out all my little mistakes and I never get the lighting just right, either. Minis always look best in person!

Also, of course, congrats!
