I just ordered a batch of RAFM COC miniatures as well as some from the revived Mirilton Nightmares Range...

While while making my purchase, I stumbled onto a witchdoctor figure, I just had to have to join my evil forces.  He even comes with a Giant Snake too. 

I'm already pondering how to paint him, should I add colored body paint or a skull face design and what colors to paint the snake-maybe a brightly colored coral snake...MU HA HA HA

He deffo needs the full Baron Samedi face paint. Its a lovely fig too, very characterful.

Personally, I'd do the snake in bright colours like you suggest, if only so it would stand out against his skin (as that would be african if I did it).

Then I'd do the big snake in a luminous, ghostly green to look like a projection or manifestation, something I'm sure I remember seeing in a Doc Savage movie (starring TV Tarzan Ron Ely?).

That is a very, very nice figure. How about colored body paint and a painted skull face! JollyBob's idea of a ghostly, spirit snake is very cool too...

I agree with the skull face paint.  Never tried body paint on a miniature before, strange...to paint paint on paint..

I'm intrigued by the spirit snake idea, I'm torn between that and a giant Anaconda.

Oh I see a Cult of the Snake God Yig forming.

That is another nice miniature.
