III. More Spirits

GHEISTS

You can see them grim apparitions just before dark- floating above the grey fields. They can do you no harm, but best not disturb them. Their masters might be close by...

Gheists are generally tiny, harmless spirits, wisps of a kind, who serve as messengers and eyes to the more powerful inhabitants of the Underworld. They accompany the Countess, circling around her and keeping her from harm.

In Malifaux I play Gheists as Seishin. 

The choice of miniatures was easy, and no actual converting was necessary. I simply took the flying skull bits from VC Coven Throne/Mortis Engine kit. They were painted as white smoky things. Very simple.

The Übergheist is a unique Gheist. He is the Countess' "totem" on her travels through the spirit world. 

In Malifaux I play him as Lost Love.

It's another flying skull bit, but with a Chaos Warrior banner top for a head. At first I intended the miniature to be white like the others, but I ended up painting it black for practial reasons- the spiky halo alone was not enough to distinguish it from ordinary Gheists at tabletop distance...

 

And in the end a group picture of all the Bloodfiends finished so far.
