Witch Hunter Warband

Just a few (very!) work in progress photographs of my Witch Hunter warband. It has some expansion figures including (the zealots with crossBOWs and sword and shield) ready for the campaign. Most of the figures are converted and kit bashed from a variety of sources (apart from the warrior priest).

 

The five heroes of the warband. The Captain Heinrich is in the centre. Converted from an Empire hero with plastic greatsword legs and hat and a cobbled together zweihander. The figure is based off a piece of 6th Edition art. Far left has a witch hunter made from a Marienburgher Captain, I changed his sword to make it a little beefier. Centre left is another witch hunter kit bashed from greatsword/empire soldiers/archers. Centre right the final witch hunger converted from plastic great swords and Perry Miniatures Mercenaries bits, for the arms and polehammer. The Warrior Priest is untouched, I especially like the way the figure is in the middle of a service rather than the more common combat poses.

 

The four Zealots (in two groups of two). They are not modelled on the traditional Zealot look but more in line with soldiers of the order and as such a have a more traditional Empire look to them. Two have swords and shields and the two Bowmen (who have crossbows but that is mostly thematic, I hope to get them actual crossbows as the campaign progresses). The figures are made from a mixture of plastic greatswords, empire soldiery, free company and the older (5th/6th edition) soldiers of the empire set.

 The three warhounds. These are original witch hunter figures that have just been rebased.

Two photographs of the warband all together. I'm looking forward to getting the painting on them finished (some have been languishing for over two years!). Thematically I am very happy with how they work together. I am a massive fan of the Empire aesthetic and it's very late 15th early 16th century inspiration. The background for the warband is yet to be decided as stated in a previous post. The colours that have been painted would be that of Solland (entirely unintentional), which would have been destroyed over two hundred years previous. A group of nobles looking for wealth or power to retake their lost land? Eventually  I will come up with something unoriginal and pun filled.  I look forward to sharing there adventures with you dear reader!
