Aegyptus August 5- Nekharu Witch Coven Reinforcements

 

Some of the first minis for WarGods I painted were the Nekharu Witches. They were also the very first WarGods minis I converted. I've converted two more and used a couple that I think fit the Nekharu aesthetic to bring my Witch Coven up to 10 strong. 

This little guy is from the Warhammer Quest Silver Tower box and he'll do as a coven member fallen prey to the dark magics the Witch Master has dabbled with. He joins an older metal Tzeentch familiar who was with coven from the beginning.

I've been calling this guy 'the Debater' because of his pose. His head has been turned slightly and I've replaced his left hand with a leftover from an earlier conversion. His little doll was removed and replaced with some plastic GW bit.

This guy is 'the Maestro of Murder' because he looks to be savoring his handiwork as if it's some delightful music. He got a headswap with a Nekharu warrior and both hands were switched out (the right on is from an old GW zombie kit and the left is from a different witch sculpt with a dagger). The skull hanging on his front was replaced with a plastic bit from the Frostgrave Cultist sprue.  I really like how he turned out.

Finally, this one is simply a headswap on a Monolith Conan plastic figure. I have a grand plan of making another witch coven with this guy as the Witch Master. 

These four join the original six strong Coven and the Witch Master.  But the old minis were painted eons ago so I decided they should get a little update- they were just way too clean. All of them got their bases scraped clean and updated along with a little touchup to their paintjobs.

There are only three sculpts of Coven Witches so to avoid the clone look I knew very early on that some conversion work needed to be done. This pose has gotten two additional minis with conversion. The one on the right is the original pose.

The one on the right is the original pose, so far I've only gotten one extra pose for the coven but I used this sculpt as the base for one of the first Paladins of Despair.

This sculpt also has only one converted alternate so far. The one on the right is the original pose. I think I used this pose to convert up my Nekharu Torturer because I did a conversion for the Flesh Hulk before the official mini was realesed.

And here's a group shot of the whole degenerate Coven...

Of course, this has all lead to the spark of an idea for a new Skirmish campaign involving a Coven. Watch the WarGods Skirmish Blog for details coming sometime soonish.
