Title: Forgotten Pacts - Figure Suggestions
Post by: JohnDSD2 on 15 November 2016, 08:05:05 AM

Gentlemen and Ladies,

Any thoughts on sourcing figures for the various new beasties and soldiers in Forgotten Pacts?

Cheers

Well, assuming you're not keen on the official figures, or in kitbashing your own (which is my usual suggestion)...

Assassin - Reaper (just search for 'Rogue', 'Thief' or 'Assassin'), Otherworld do a couple of really nice ones too. I'm partial to this guy from Reaper: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/zadim/sku-down/60179

Demon Hunter - a little trickier, given the weapon load-out (2-hander and crossbow), if you're after WYSIWYG. Reaper, again:

http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/human%20crossbow/sku-down/03203
http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/human%20crossbow/sku-down/60164
http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/human%20crossbow/sku-down/03129
http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/human%20crossbow/sku-down/02962

All of those would be close enough weapons-wise for my taste.

Monk/Mystic Warrior - I'm lumping these together as I would look to the same sources - Monk and Martial Artist characters from Reaper, Otherworld, Hasslefree etc.

My picks would be these two:

http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/monk/sku-down/60152
http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/monk/sku-down/02852

A little under-dressed for Frostgrave, perhaps, but that's the power of kung fu...

Great suggestions - I will watch this thread with interest (especially any suggestions for the demons).
I'm mulling over the idea of using a witch hunter figure as a demon hunter proxy - having the pistol count as a crossbow.

You could probably create a fine Demon Hunter from the Soldier boxed set, no? It has the appropriate options.

The figure and pose on this mini looks exactly like the main baddie from the movie Bloodsport.

Great model. I've always wanted a Tong Po (Kickboxer villain) to go with him, though, for a Van Damme collection!

The Helldorado Imperial Sentinel makes an *awesome* Monk IMO:

Pot Bellied Gremlin from Mage Knight. I guess it's based on a Ral Partha metal model, don't know which one.

Long time lurker, first time poster, really enjoying this forum and the game!
I have a witch hunter themed warband with witch hunter models for marksman and captain. I use crossbow rules for pistols (1 action reload, +2 damage). One of the minis I use are from avatars of war, the witch hound (no link, sorry) as captain with some sweet double crossbow action going on, and scibor miniatures vampire hunter http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1373 for my marksman. The demon hunter would be a great thematical addition to the warband, one could use the gw witch hunter for instance https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NO/Empire-Witch-Hunter if the crossbow=pistol does not bother you.
I do not have the fp expansion yet (we've just started on the lich lord), but I've seen the stats for the hunter somewhere so I know they are armed with crossbow and great weapon. Is there anything else about them?

Hi! And welcome to LAF 8) Y&our warband sounds great, any pictures?
The Demon Hunter gets a bonus when fighting demons and their cost depends on how much you are into demons.

Thanks, and sure do: https://crittersmasher.wordpress.com/
Need to get myself a demon hunter to fend off that annoying imp my opponent summons every time!

I've been looking through the Reaper catalog for suitable minatures for the Forgotten Pacts soldiers and beastiary.

I might try and add a spear head of pole arm head on their staffs for a closer match.

Okay, I've found the perfect miniature for a Demon Hunter...and he's already painted in my collection! Yes...a must have for the next game...

(http://paintoholic.nl/images/ash2.jpg)
(Hasslefree's Ash)

Shotgun makes for an excellent Crossbow (especially with the Reload rule) and a Chainsaw makes a mighty fine twohander, I'd say 8)
And fluffwise I think he fits in too with Army of Darkness.
