Witchhunter WIP

[anevilgiraffe]

whatever anyone else says, I really enjoyed Solomon Kane, especially the battle at the start, where it was lose one weapon, draw another and keep moving... a 17th century terminator... and when I saw the Warlord ECW command sprue going cheap on eBay, I figured I'd have a punt...





the drummer/standard bearer body had a nice forward motion, but as he was of a lower standing presumable, had stockings and shoes, so off came the boots from one of the commanders - I've made the turned tops of the boots smaller, they just looked weird even though it was the fashion, but now the troos look a bit too baggy, so may bulk the boots out again... using the command arms gave him the right tools for the job and a better quality jerkin, but his face was a bit too chubby and homely, so the head had to go and was replaced with a Hasslefree head... haven't decided on hair yet - kind of liking the bald look, maybe shaved, a late Renaissance Bruce Willis...

the g/s may not be brilliant I'll admit, but paint should hide a multitude of sins...

Brilliant!

I bought a box of these to fool around with the same way, but I was much more timid in my conversion work. The Hasslefree head is a nice addition, although of course nothing says "Witch Hunter" so much as a giant pilgrim hat...

I've been looking at the "Savage Worlds" rpg of Kane lately and have to admit looked at a few possible candidates.

I think your conversion is looking great and agree that a conversion would be the best option over a pre-made.

I don't think I'll go the whole hog and do the hat... flowing locks are the order of the day I feel...

I may pick up some more and see about combining with the Mantic undead 

[Commander Vyper]

Mantic undead are a little on the large size when combined with other plastics. Heads are ok but you have to be careful with the torsos.

The ghouls I got free from last years salute are a little better size wise.

Positioning, maybe tilt the body forward more to make more of a 'run'. Currently head looks too small, but appreciate metal against plastic always looks a little off, paint it grey!

If you change your mind, Reaper Miniatures make a good cheap metal hat sprue with a Pilgrim hat on it (you can order just the top sprue through their Boneyard bitz service):

oh... that does make it all much easier... curses...

post-Salute-build, pre-Salute motivation means he now has hair...



after several attempts since January, I quite like that... gave up on windblown and went with long and a bit of chin hair...

[anevilgiraffe]

painted and in Swashbuckling as that appears to be where the ECW stuff sits... although it could be fantasy as well... hey ho...

I had no idea the film was even released!

I'll have to pick it up somehow.

Great figure, lots of detail, and I love his Solomon Kane mullet!
