I'm not a fan of the Raider models... both new and old.
How do you think it would work conversion wise?

I like the Blood Witch models, I'm thinking of using Miniatures Barbed wire as the length of the lacerator, then used the blade that was clipped off their hands as the ends of that lacerator.

I'm thinking to avoid confusion a bit more, was to make the lacerators longer and take up more volume. Certainly this would be for friendly games and not something for Conversion upholding ruled Tourneys .

In addition, I got the Iron Kingdoms Raider to be converted to the count as Sea Witch.
I'm trying to think how I'll get her short sword to look more like the trident of the Sea Witch. I can lengthen the back of the sword so it looks somewhat like a halberd...then I need to do something with the head of the weapon... maybe go through the bitz box to get a second blade to make a sort of asymetrical Cleft spear sort of.

sounds like a plan. be sure to make pics and post them here...

Sadly, no pictures yet, but I'm pretty happy with them.

You'd think a 'halberd' is close enough to the 'trident' for the Sea Witch?

Blood Witch horns were....... a breeze.
Thank Nurgle, I heard horror stories of gluing on horns onto the old models.

The only models I had trouble with where the Witches with the blade held closest to their bodies...was really hard to make differing poses.
I ended up butchering one side of the ladies and intend to greenstuff over the paperclip arm that attaches to the surviving wrist.

I'm pretty happy to try and finish the modelling step. A local Tourney in the area is raising money for Breast Cancer Awarenes and Prevention and one of the 'cheats' we can purchase is named: "Women are Tough"... tough Satyxis Raiders..... with a Captain with no sleeping on the job. Such luls.

mm, sounds like a good reason to play skarre too then

Must say that it can be difficult to determine gender in the ranks of the undead. except for some casters and the raiders most look male, but do not have to be. For instance banethralls could be female. You do not see any distinguishing marks, but they could be..

I am also getting a very strange idea of a female bilethrall and/or bloatthrall... brrr, let the scary thoughts go away please

There was this wonderful conversion in No Quarter of a Bloat Thrall in a miniskirt and bikini top. Standing on a mirror. Yeah...

I said let the idea go away, not plant another one!!!!







at my own peril, do you have a pic, because it sounds funny. I will probably regret ever having seen the pic later, as "What has been seen can not be unseen"....

I am interested in that picture as well

Sadly I'm not a Skarre fan from a fluff perspective. I'm a Gaspy fan so I load up characters that work for him or are neutral. So Terminus' posse are excluded from my company..... (for now )

You are missing out on another cool caster then, as the coven (3 women around a giant ball) is a pretty cool caster IMHO.

OTOH you have both denny, gaspys and mortenebra. (I think that is it) So this still gives a lot of options for now.

I know, I know, the Coven would be a good buy for me... I mean they are the only Caster that allows for 2 squads of Soulhunters in the list .

I did tell myself that I would be getting into Warmahordes for the whole package .

It's hard to not be interested in Skarre's great rack.

But yea, eSkarre tiered list would be loltastic with a whole army that's tough with no knockdown(though limited coverage).

As a side note: IMO Goreshade is neutral, but I don't own either model (I use a count as Vyros and the girl on the floor). Venny is neutral as well... a pretty single minded lich lord that cares little for both Gaspy and Terminus.

Anyway, I'll try to remember to get some pictures today before I do touch up with greenstuff.

Here’s an update on the raiders I’m working on.
Remember, Blood Witches to be Satyxis Raiders.

First picture is of the unit leader on the right and a Raider that needs a whole new arm.


Second and third pictures are more of the rank and file.



Forth Picture we have the Captain on the left and my count as Sea Witch. Halberd instead of Trident, but I do have a skull in her other hand


Last Picture is all 12 points together.


Next up is greenstuffing.

Bonus Picture of my desire for fast things:

...Why is Wrathe's horse mounting the soul hunter in front of him?

They were fated horses and their lust for each other is BEYOND DEATH!


In all honesty, it's the angle of the shot and placement.
Though, I'm more interested in comments about the Raiders :,-(

The raiders look good. I like these a bit better then the original raiders.

Only Comments I can make is that the seawitch's Halberd is made with the wrong diameter pin IMHO. You should solidify it and bulk it out a bit. (don't know if you are intending to do this already.

My second comment is that I would like to see you replace the wip on the captain. The wip is the same for raiders and captains, so it should look the same IMHO..

Yes, you are correct, the length of the spear is 'naked'. I have greenstuffing to do on her halberd.

As for the captain, I was thinking about it, but I resolved not to do it; it was to keep her unique among the crowd.
In addition, I had thought it would represent weapon master better, ie an actual lacerator instead of a whip .

But you are correct, if I wanted to remain consistant, she should have a whip instead.

In other news, I have finished greenstuffing Wrathe and am pretty happy about it, but no pics yet.
I have greenstuffing do do for the girls, which covers filling gaps and covering most their bases.

Well the weaponmaster is the fact that she is skilled with the weapon, not that weapon is better.. Then again you can do whatever you like...

I like where this is going and will check again after you update...

Nice posing, really good sense of motion in the chains. Good job man! Hope to see them painted.
