I finally managed to get the last of my Verminkin finished up. This last guy is armed with a push knife and a throwing knife. Of course, only Heroes get to use throwing knives in Mordheim, so it will just count as a sling. It was considerably easier to convert than the slings were, so I might make do this again when I need more Verminkin (which hopefully won't be for a while.
The idea for this guy came from the original Mordheim night runners, which featured a number of arms holding throwing knives and shuriken.
As I recall, the knife is a Space Marine knife that I just whittled down to the proper size. The blades on the push knife are from a Dark Eldar spear of some sort, as I recall. It's surprisingly hard to find good symmetrical blades in Warhammer, but this one worked quite nicely. As with my other Verminkin, the body is just a Clanrat with a green stuff cloak.
So at long last, my Verminkin are complete, which should give me enough models for a decent starting warband. Now I just need to work on some Terrain and we'll be ready to go.
Love these conversions, especially the night runners! Really inspiring work!
