Repurposing GW's Spirit Host (Necromancer & custom Summoning Circle added 7/5)

[Vanvlak]

Let me put it this way - the booklet was probably intended to be color coded to show what part goes where, but it's printed in B&W all the way through.  Truly a joy to behold.  Makes the online Malifaux instruction guides look terrific by comparison.

Your solution to the problem is ingenious.

Oh, I bought them intending to split them up.  Had a look at them assembled as hosts at the FLGS and decided they could be broken up without too much effort.  The terrible, terrible assembly guide just made me really happy that I'd already made that choice.

Simply awesome idea!!!!!

I'm going to steal the hell out of it.... With full credit going to you of course!

Your imaginative use of the Spirit Host Guys is SPLENDID...BEAUTIFULLY painted creations.  VERY WELL DONE!
You did, however, create a need for some of those Living Impaired Folk for my own Graveyard. This is the first G.W. order I've made in quite awhile. They & I are grateful for your inspiration.

Glad you liked them.  They have some obvious other roles as well, like adding them to dioramas and terrain.  If this batch doesn't sell for me (they're sure not going anywhere on ebay so far) I may retask some of them towards doing a necromantic ritual mini-diorama or somesuch.

FWIW you'll find one other piece on the sprues, that being a partial skeleton with a wisp of ectoplasm coming out of it.  When doing a stock assembly the "tail" of one of the spirits glues to it, but I'm sure I'll find something else to use it for eventually.

I suspect some of the parts from the Mortis Engine/Coven Throne may also have similar uses, although they're pretty expensive even from the specialized bits sellers online.

New addition to the project, now we've got a Necromancer and a customized Summoning Circle added to the mix.



The lass is a "Cleric of Urgotha" from Reaper's Pathfinder range.



Never heard of Urgotha, but despite the fancy farm tool the gal's wielding I doubt this is some kind of agricultural deity.



The circle itself is a Reaper Bones piece, with the last unused bit out of the GW spirit host box added and customized with extra ectoplasm and couple more wisps added as well.



The wisps actually came from those Firestorm Tarakian ships I posted recently.  They sold on ebay and the buyer didn't want the custom weapons special effects left on them, so I trimmed them back off and re-used them here.  Efficiency, don't you know?

And here's the current full crew:

Very cool.  Who makes that necromancer figures?

He specifically says Reaper Pathfinder line.

Nice work on the summoning circle and spirits for sure, Mr Hobby!

I did. Even more specifically, I said it was a Cleric of Urgotha, which shouldn't be very hard to search for - unless I've missed the sudden rise of a real-world cult of Urgothan televangelists, maybe?

Nice work on the summoning circle and spirits for sure, Mr Hobby!

Now surely if you're trying to be formal about it, I would be Mr. Services, wouldn't I?

I don't know why, but looking at those AND the added necromancer and a summoning circle made me feel really... satisfied :d

Like "these fit so damn well together and look so perfect when arranged"
