Oh Captain my captain

Finished off while I was waiting for washes to dry on other things this week is this:

Another beautiful Westfalia sculpt from the Kickstarter I backed a couple of years back, who is going to be the Captain in my Frostgrave warband.

I love everything about this sculpt, from the poised sculpt with fingers outstretched for balance, to the knife ready to throw, just a lovely model all round.

Annoyingly I’ve seemingly only managed to photograph the back of her well, but hopefully you can extrapolate from that what the paint job actually looks like.

I plan on running her through the ‘Alone in the Crypt’ scenario from Spellcaster magazine before she joins the warband proper, so still need to paint a couple more monsters before I’m ready for that. If anyone has a sprue of those blobby looking goblins from the Hobbit game in their trade pile let me know, I think they’d make ideal ghouls but don’t fancy buying a whole box of 36 of them…

In other news, the postman has also dropped off a new friend:

A converted Skaven model that the seller presumably snapped the whip off of to fit into the envelope. I mean I’d planned on cannibalising it for parts anyway, but still…

So between one painted Captain and one purchase, the Tally now stands at:

7 vs -4 = +11

Next time: Skaven and enemies for Alone in the Crypt, barring distractions!
