Creepy awesome. Love them both but the second crone is a really fantastic sculpt and well-painted to boot.

I have to agree with Yeti, that is an excellent set.

The painting looks suspiciously like einarolafson's work to me....

Those are really nice!

And I am pretty sure it looks like einarolafson's work because he did it :P

Second witch's fabric is really nicely done!

Where could cauldron be useful, game wise?

The Witches' Cauldron (and Coven) appeared as an Arcane Relic in Strange Aeons magazine.  It'll be reprinted in either Shocking Tales #4 or Strange Aeons 2nd Edition, depending on how timing works out.

Excellent. I have coveted those figures since your LPL entry. If einarolafson wants to paint my hag's shawl - please free free.  :D

Very cool.  There's even a Brown Jenkin.  I've just been listening to Dreams in the Witch House, so I'm all up on him & Keziah Mason.

Very good figurines, the familiars are specially welcome (could double as Sumatran Rat Monkeys, I guess).
But why do most miniature witches look old and ugly? The task of witch hunters / finders would be too easy (and many innocent young women would be spared the burning stake). Be it a 'glamour' (illusion) or real extension of youth / physical improvement, any competent witch looks young and appealing, even sexy, if she wishes.
