The Witch Hunting Increaseth

Here are some more maniacs for the Witch Hunter warband. First up, we've got a very small witch hunter. He's a halfling witchfinder, from TT Combat's range of halflings. The only conversion I made was to use green stuff to cover up his toes and turn his bare feet into boots. It's quite hard to get a decent picture of a model like this: there is a face under his enormous hat, but it's hidden by the brim. He's a cool model, though.



Gurt Halbman is an unusually small but successful witch finder, whose crossbow is rightly feared among wrongdoers and anyone with a crotch. What he lacks in height, he makes up for in hat. 


This guy is based on a model from the Wrath of Kings game. His head and arms are from Empire flagellants. I'm not sure where the head of his mallet comes from. I converted him some while ago, but gave him a new base and slightly improved the paint job for this project. He's meant to be missing his left eye, hence the big black hole.





Argus of the Burning Helm believes that the church should be actively involved in social issues. He is an active member of the Fulminitic Church of Sigmar Discombobulated, who follow the teachings of Broncus the Reductor whilst rejecting the strictures of the third and fifth Ecumenite Conclave, and who celebrate Hauptag on Leupmass, despite dismissing Leupmass itself as false doctrine. This is not to be confused with the Depictionists and Ninth Striculites, both of whom refute the absolutionist creed, substituting only admonistic doctrine AND THEREFORE MUST BURN.


The third model in this small horde is another flagellant. His body is a standard plastic flagellant, his arms come from a plastic spearman, and his head is an old plastic wizard head. The head of his axe is from a Privateer Press model: I can't remember what, but it's been in the bits box for ages.





Dagobert was a flagellant years before it became fashionable. For many years, he toured Mordheim with little success. Now, to his great disappointment, everyone is doing it. Dagobert wears a classic ensemble of rags, accessorised with rusty metal. His hairstyle is carefully arranged in a twin-tailed comet style, very popular with the frothing doomsayer subculture.

  1. All of them look good, but the Halfling definitely made my day :D

    1. The halfling is a really nice model - I think their halfling sculpts are pretty good if that's your thing. TT Combat even have halfling valkyrie walrus cavalry. Shame he's almost impossible to photograph...
