CXCI. Folda Witch Hunters

The past few months here in the Gardens have been heavy with 40K projects. Time to steer back to the Isles of Brume for a bit, with a handful of new additions to the ranks of my ghoul kingdom.With this I'm moving away from representing actual unit types from AoS Flesh Eater Courts into making it more a faction of its own, as you'll see.

You may remember Janos the Cannibal, ruthless exterminator of all things Chaos. When he vanquished the 'vile witch' Vanga in The Hag's Hovel Carnage, his warband consisted of some wolves and common ghoul rabble. After presenting the crone's head to the Queen, Janos was granted the authority to form, and take command of, a small force dedicated solely to the task of combating witches and their ilk. 

Hand-picked by Janos himself from the ranks of Folda's standing army, Ghoul Witch Hunters are the basic grunts of the crew. They are trained and armed for combat with hand weapons as well as crossbows. The models are based on Nurgle Rotters from Bloodbowl. Those are 30mm bases, so the Witch Hunters are bigger than my basic ghouls. 

 

I made two more of these grisly sticks. One is another yellow-robed corpse, and the other is a holy symbol from Folda's religion. The lore behind this faction has developed quite a bit, but it's not yet ready to be made public.

I'm actually preparing this warband for the next instalment of the campaign that started with The Hag's Hovel Carnage, in which Janos and his minions will have to face a new, even more dangerous threat. A few more models for this project are coming in November.
