Witch Hunter WIP

whatever anyone else says, I really enjoyed Solomon Kane, especially the battle at the start, where it was lose one weapon, draw another and keep moving... a 17th century terminator... and when I saw the Warlord ECW command sprue going cheap on eBay, I figured I'd have a punt...

the drummer/standard bearer body had a nice forward motion, but as he was of a lower standing presumably, had stockings and shoes, so off came the boots from one of the commanders - I've made the turned tops of the boots smaller, they just looked weird even though it was the fashion, but now the troos look a bit too baggy, so may bulk the boots out again... using the command arms gave him the right tools for the job and a better quality jerkin, but his face was a bit too chubby and homely, so the head had to go and was replaced with a Hasslefree head... haven't decided on hair yet - kind of liking the bald look, maybe shaved, a late Renaissance Bruce Willis... the g/s may not be brilliant I'll admit, but paint should hide a multitude of sins... EDIT: I've my eyes on some ECW era yokels and civilians from Warlord Games (and maybe Foundry if I feel flush) and some Mantic Undead to join him - luckily, it shouldn't require any new scenery as it will all fit in with my never moving English countryside for Doctor Who... and the ruined tower can get a showing with them as well... huzzar!

Solomon Kane had some great action moments but had problems in other areas but was worth watching all the same, very nice figure you've made there.

Give him some hair and he could be a certain 'Thespian of the road' from Our favorite time and space hopping scifi show.
