Title: Bruegelburg: Witch Hunter Warband (upd. 01.07 - painted Brother Armanius)
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on 21 May 2012, 10:03:23 PM
No. No new miniatures for Bruegelburg. Only some conversion work  :D

Started today with some conversion of our Bruegelburg miniatures, trying to make a sort of Witch Hunter gang. This is the first one. Quite funny, I think, I like it.

Brother Armanius, the feared priest of the Holy Church of the Sankt Bruegel, merciless persecutor of infidels and his faithful fighting pig Argus.

All parts are from LAM, the body is a Warrior Priest (BRU-21), the head is of a Landsknecht (BRU-31), the pig is Bruegelburg one as well (BRU-17). The books are form the Dwarves range, from the pack with the Librarian (DWA-01). The chain is from my bitz box.

Very cool.  :-*

Prof, what were under the influence of when you thought of this?  lol

Seriously though, I don't know if it was intentional, but it reminds me of something you would see in a weird medieval symbolist painting.

Very nice!

next one..Sister Cornelia, the deadly pickaxe, this time the body from Atomic Mob 1 (PA-13), the head from the Mad Griet (BRU-09) and the pickaxe from the Dwarves Mine Explorer (DWA-07)

Cool, I always thought that figure has Bruegelburg potential. I may do something similar with mine.
Title: Re: Bruegelburg: Witch Hunter Warband (upd. 23.05 - Preaching Cart)
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on 23 May 2012, 09:33:22 PM
I always wanted to do something special with this preacher figure, it just has too much character and definitely belongs on a cart pulled by some strange draught animals. Here is it. It’s still a lot to do, still unsure how to connect the animals with the cart, just using chains or perhaps  building a sort carriage. So if you have ideas, don’t hesitate to tell me.

(http://www.backofbeyond.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/bruegelburg_witch_hunter_10.jpg)

the list of the parts (mostly our Lead Adventure stuff):
 
- preacher (BRU-21)
- pigs (BRU-17)
- rats (PA-26)
- road sign (BRU-10)
- lamp (DWA-05)
- books (DWA-01)
- beggar (BRU-08)
- rat on the top of the road sign (cut off from the dwarf rat catcher’s bag, DWA-04)
- wheels (GW plastic shields )
- cart/wooden board (GW siege equipment)

Post by: OSHIROmodels on 23 May 2012, 09:47:29 PM
I like that idea  8) 8)

Maybe really oversized yokes for the 'draft' animals would be a good idea, in keeping with the feel.

Very nifty.  And that is a good use of that old Citadel shield as a wheel - I have rather a large number of those things lying around here, but not many spare wheels...

same here, some hundreds of GW plastic shields from various armies. I guess I could build something using only GW shields :)

I misread the title as "preaching cat".  And it's a fine, imaginative conversion but I've got that cat in my head, now!

Prof: I feel that you should give the Mint Tea a rest. It is obviously warping your powers of reason!

Failing that, let us all know where we can get your brand, as this is brilliant!

Really really like it... personally i dont "feel" the giant rats combined with warrior priest, and would stick to just pigs myself... but overall very nice!

Agree, have thought about it too and already replaced the rats with pigs.

Keeping to the religious theme - I reckon that in true Noah's ark style there should be lots of animals but these animals should be in pairs  :)

Great idea, Alex! The shield-wheels have the right size, but I think they are much too thin. I would suggest to double them up by glueing two together for some thickness.

You know, these conversions were so good, you should have had them cast up as an addition to the range. :)

Just wondering, but wouldn't a witchhunter suspect a black pig to be in league with the devil?  ;)

that's the point, the daemon in the black pig has been subdued and is now in the service of the Holy Church of Sankt-Bruegel   :D
