.... inspired by LAFer Malamute, I plan to assemble the monsters in accordance with the scenarios. So first up will be 3 witches.

From left to right:

Reaper fruit lady, Reaper Necromancer, North Star Wood Witch



The middle figure started off as a male but I thought the height and pose would  balance out the other two if converted to a woman, so I ground off the beard and added a chin, and a bit more definition for the skull, etc,

Really nice work on that conversion.  Can't wait to see it with some paint.

Thanks chaps though I have to confess that after an inspirational comment by Malamute, I've made further changes for an even better representation of The Three Witches  from the Scottish play that I'm told cannot be named.

Basically, adding a hood, replacing the apple in hand with open, spindly fingers, and making a cauldron.

Ooh you can't get more witchy than that,  :o If you pull off a vignette with those models like that etching, I'm sure you can, it will be the thing of folk nightmares.

Yeah the "Scottish Play" even actors who are too scared of bad luck to call it by its actual name, especially if they are in it!

Can't get much scarier than that!

Great start! And I think that converted witch works really well with the other too.
