All the Henchmen


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.

Almost There...

Here's another Verminkin for the horde.  I tried just giving this one two swords, though doing so with the Clanrat shield arm made for a pretty awkward pose.

Yeah, punch daggers definitely work better than full on swords.
