Stickler Mitchell & Megan

Every faction needs a hero and the Witchfinders have Stickler Mitchell.  A powerful man well versed in the arts of war, both temporal and spiritual.  Ably assisted by his young apprentice, Megan, the duo present a formidable presence on the battlefield and will surely have the forces of evil thinking twice about showing their hand too early.

 I picked these up from ‘Warlord Games’ as a Halloween special before foolishly realising that they were originally produced as the first miniatures directly linked to ‘Dashing Dice’ games; if I’d realised sooner I would have obviously wanted to support them directly.

Great sculpts both with the young Megan miniature including a pistol and a repeater crossbow as optional weapon choices.  Both came with a Slotta base included, but I have taken to basing on washers or MDF discs and so a little bit of drilling and pinning was required - I just have a mental block with basing skirmish miniatures on square bases.

Once again my painting was wholly unimaginative with inspiration for Stickler Mitchell taken from the ‘Dashing Dice’ website.  Painting Megan, however did see me dig out a copy of the woeful, ‘Hansel & Gretel – Witch Hunters’  and after closer scrutiny of the talented Miss Arterton’s costume a suitable palette was decided upon. I’m a little disappointed with my painting on Megan’s face, I just find the shading so much harder when it comes to fairer complexions and more delicate features.
