Witchin' Time

I bought these rather nice figures for Witchin' Hour from Rapier Miniatures (rapierminiatures).

The Witchfinder General.

The Witches Command

Witch on a broom

And this rather nice female, Damaris, Duskwarden Heroine from Reaper Bones Black via Mighty Lancer Games (mightylancergames)

A cool mini I think for the Witch Hunter and the size is quite a nice fit.

I will be looking to paint these soon.

Hunting time!

 Hi!

In the previous posting I alluded to a new book on its way. Here it is

Witchin' Hour

Witch hunting (or coven building if you prefer batting for the other side. And why not?).

Very similar to the skirmish games I've started playing in recent times. This is one rule set among a few that I've had a slight interest in recently. But I went for this one. 

I have figures I can use and will only have to purchase the odd one or two for specific characters. I have ordered the Witchfinder General, Witch Command and Witch on a Broom from Rapier Miniatures (reapermini), shipping from the UK naturally. I might, though, look to find another witch hunter. A more dynamic character, just not costing £8!

For instance, I will use these figures, I bought to use as cultists in Frostgrave, for witches, from Northstar Figures (northstarfigures):-

and instead of the wolves, these Goatkin , bought to use with Sell Swords and Spell Slingers,:-

These miniatures are from crooked dice game design studio (crooked-dice) and I might be tempted to use their female cultists as they have the same sort of theme to the goatkin.

I intend to use various figures from the F&IW which I have an abundance of.

If I wanted, I could run it in a Japanese setting using the Ronin figure. Or in a more medieval setting using the Frostgrave figures. There is no barrier to using it in WH40K as witch hunting is done there as in Warhammer itself.

From ancients through to future wars, it's all good for hunting witches, unless you are the witch.

And I'm definitely going to have Black Goat for a final showdown with the witch hunters at some stage (also from crooked dice)

Thank you for dropping by.

Update on everything

Hi!

It's past time I updated what I have been working on these past weeks.

First, a Sarissa Precision 15mm wild west town set for the Tombstone Tinderbox wild west. Good models, in mdf, and easy to build. I've left the roofs detachable so I can put figures inside. They have been painted with GW Zandri Dust paint and one whitewashed, with the shop boards differentiated. I think it improves from plain mdf. I intend to use the Sarissa Precision stencils to brand the stores.

I promised my wife I would buy the adobe set and put her name on the cantina. A mixed Mexican/American border town. There's bound to be trouble! 

This is one I bought to use as a crashed objective marker. The original colour was bright yellow. I decided to give my (5 Parsecs) Zone security team a means of dropping in unexpectedly. Hence the matching fusilage to the uniforms.

It still needs a little work on it and the markings still need to be done, but it won't be the Russian originals.

Some Christmas/New Years reading.

Always nice to receive The Wargamers' Annual. This edition is quite heavy and a very good read. I actually managed not to read it all in two days, rather, I read the annual spread out over two weeks.

The Xenos Rampant is a rule set that can come in useful. I have quite a collection of figures which I can use. If necessary, I can co-op my Space Crusade figures. I may be able to use the scorpions and dreadnaughts for a change!

There will be a new rule book dropping through the door in a day or two. I have figures for this too but MIGHT like one or two more.

Which is rather a joke. On the Miniature Adventures YT channel I commented I hoped to restrict my wargames expenditure to £300 for the coming year. It looks like pigs might fly there.

Thanks for dropping by.
