Fantasy Skirmish: Witch Hunter Warrior Priest

I’ve been working on building out a Witch Hunter warband for fantasy skirmish games, and with the Captain done, it was time to move on to the Warrior Priest.

The Warrior Priest I fielded in Mordheim 25 years ago was a big bruiser with a two-handed warhammer. Going through the Hexbane’s Hunters warband from Warhammer Underworlds, I realized the big hunter with the mega axe could be converted without too much fuss.

I took a two handed hammer off of a Chaos Raider, then worked out the haft so that it fit the arms of the hunter. It was a pretty simple conversion and really brings back the way my old Warrior Priest, at least in spirit!

I kept to the same tones as the Captain, then put on an oil wash for this guy. After that was settled, I went back in for some highlights, then drew an “S” on his forehead. You know, for Squidward.

Here’s the Witch Hunter group so far!

Fantasy Skirmish: Witch Hunter Captain

I’m still working on a system for statting out my fantasy minis, but until then, I’ll keep on posting progress on figures!

The Witch Hunters faction from Mordheim was one of my favorites, with lots of fanatical idiots running around causing all kinds of trouble for anyone else on the board. I knew getting started that I needed a strong showing from a faction similar to that, and there’s nowhere better to start than with a leader!

This mini is from a Warhammer Underworlds box that I’ve had kicking around for ages, and while he’s really tall compared to most of my minis, I figure he probably grew up with a lot of access to high quality foods. Yay! I found a way to grapple with scale creep!

This whole box is great, with three hunters and a couple of hounds. The captain has enough extra stuff on his belt that he shouldn’t be hard to stat out when I finally get a system worked out. I also want to add a mini to this group that’s sole function is to load pistols!

I decided to do something new with Rolf, and added some orange and purple tones to his clothing. I’ve been set on this whole “middle ages=drab earth tones” mindset for a while, so I want to shake things up and add some colors that I normally don’t play with much!

Next up will be a warrior priest. With a HUGE hammer, because of reasons.
