Kitbash challenge - Vermintide
The Inspiration
I saw the post Laughingboy put up on the site and the video for the new computer game looks awesome.
The factions from Warhammer fantasy that I wanted to get involved in as a kid were Dwarves, High Elves and Empire.
Dwarves because, well they’re Dwarves and that’s awesome.
High Elves because a kid at school sold me them and they looked really cool painted up in the White Dwarf magazines he shared with me.
And Empire because they had a cool tank and their flamboyant pleated clothes looked great. I also liked the look of the Bretonians because at the time I didn’t really enjoy the magic side of gaming, I was more into history and my 1/72 1/76 scale soldiers, tanks and aircraft.
Sadly the elves and dwarves were lost in a house fire years ago. I never had the money to invest in the expensive GW range beyond a few fledgling Dwarf blisters and the elf half of a starter box.
The inspiration for this gent came from the guns firing in the video against the horde. I thought if I was going to take a Frostgrave style mini away from just medieval fantasy and into Warhammer skirmish style urban fighting that a black power weapon would be a good start.
