Eliazar's Hired Swords

Here he is, especially for cianty. I am sorry for the amount of detail you can see on the pic, but my camera has no more power and I still need to find the charger...



EDIT: renamed the topic, as I want to include all hired swords in here.

LOL. This is the shadiest merchant model I have ever seen. Literally.

Well, we'll be able to see more detail once it is finished (hurry up, Eliazar!). It does look great already! This is a really great idea for a merchant conversion. Really cool. <- applause

Thanks for posting him, very nice indeed. I would love to see him with a full paint job.

I wait in heated anticipation.

Hm, actually I didn't intend to paint him anytime soon, however, I now feel kind of obliged to

You CAN count on being guilt tripped until you do!

While I was staring at the SHADY character, & trying to figure out what you made him out of, I started to come up with some alternate kit-bashing ideas. With enough merchants, they could wheedle their way to Victory!

You are!

Get cracking!!

As I wrote in the thread in the Trading Pit, he is made out of the fat Bretonnian peasant command, the Bretonnian monk's head, a Middenheim cloak from the Mordheim equipment sprue, a sword from the Bretonnian peasants and a hat from one of the old Empire soldiers sprues (I believe)

Yup, I found it. I read EVERYTHING on the Forum [I also read cereal boxes & anything else that has stuff written on it ]....well I tend to skim over alot of the rules stuff, but otherwise, EVERYTHING.

Excellent model, cant wait to see it painted up!

He already got a first layer of paint, by the way.

A friendly "Get cracking!" appears to be the kind of motivation I need

Ha ha, you're welcome! I look forward to seeing him.

Hey! While I did not yet paint the merchant (I thought I lost his cloak, made a new one and found the other just afterwards...), I made two other hired sword, which are still WIP but sufficiently painted to at least see something.

First, a bounty hunter, who is actually carrying all the stuff he comes with (hence the lantern on the ground):



And second, a BFSP slayer, right out of the box:

Here my version of these slayer...

cool stuff Eli


man that bounty hunter sure does carry a whole bunch of stuff around

Great colors, Eli! The bounty hunter looks particularly good so far. :3

COOL MINIS! I LOVE the "armed to the teeth" look of the Bounty Hunter. The green haired on Slayer is a refreshing change from the normal flaming red. EXCELLENT WIP pieces!

seen em and dislike em... in battle that is! :S

but yeah, I still like these models... and now that you reminded me, would like to see the merchant!!


(off topic, so apologies)

Yitu, what is the grass you've got there?! I needz it!

LOVE the Bounty Hunter. I almost got all that stuff packed onto mine, but just couldn't figure out where to stick the lantern on him. Well done.

Well, a late thanks for the comments and a picture of the newest Hired Sword on the line, a Pitfighter (ideas borrowed from MagnoliaFan if my memory serves me right...)

does your productivity this weekend have no end?! haha

good to see more models coming up! hope you'll be able to whip em up with a nice coat of paint before you're due here!

yes, i do like your bounty hunter very much. He is very characterful.

I really like your pitfighter to be painted and a better picture of your merchant.
