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.

15mm Wargaming: Heartbreak and Starting Over

That’s a really dramatic headline…

The heartbreak in question isn’t anything bigger than the STL provider I was grooving on deciding to move on without finishing up the 15mm Mordheim-style minis they were designing. I loved the minis, but don’t see any point in carrying on in hopes of finding something that matches the aesthetic they were pulling off so beatifully!

The last figs of theirs I have painted pretty much finish up my undead warband at that scale, and I’ll be holding on to them because they are fundamentally cool.

That being said, I’ll be moving on to a fresh start with 28mm figs for my fantasy skirmish minis. Maybe even 32 in some cases, my eyes just aren’t that great at 56 but I’m sure as hell not stopping the painting!

There’s some great stuff coming out of Corvus Belli that has me pretty fired up, I’ll be posting the first of that and some goals for 2026 later in the week!
