Witches

The cauldron is available c/o the Ottoman range, but what have we got that'll do for three witches? As the more astute among you will have guessed, I want more baggage elements for my Scottish army.

One even has a broom iirc - any good?

[FierceKitty]

Sounds interesting. Got any pics, by some happy chance?

Hmmm, ta. That may be the way to go.

There's the Zombie Wizards as well in the Undead range, those could be painted as witches quite easily.  They don't have long hair, but are stood in scraggy robes with their arms outstretched casting spells?

[FierceKitty]

OK, can I have three suitable weird sisters (one with a broomstick does sound fun) and a cauldron, please? I'll trust your choice. Bill me as usual.

Have a look here for a previous discussion: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,8305.0.html

FBG7 Beggar woman (with broom)?



Just add a hat... 

The second pose in the pack has a rolling-pin held almost horizontally in a "wait 'till you get home from the pub" kind of way 

Be aware that these figures are very tall compared to the historical ones.

Cheers!

Well, if witches look a bit different from everyone around them, I guess that's OK. The green face tends to be a bit distinctive anyway.

Shame Pendraken don't do sculpts of Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat, that's 3 witches you wouldmt wamma get on the wrong side off.

I had a witch as a boss once, actually. Even made friends with her cat, visited her cottage, and tried to drink a glass of her brew (slivovice, they call it; home-brewed plum brandy, and you don't want to get on the wrong side of that drink!).
She'd never turned anyone into a frog, but she said she had once cursed someone, and been so alarmed at the results that she'd sworn never to do it again; wouldn't go into details.

(slivovice, they call it; home-brewed plum brandy...

Was she Slovakian?  I've heard that particular home brew mentioned by some Slovak friends.

[FierceKitty]

Moravian. Near as dammit.

[Sandinista]

Slivovice is fantastic, many a lunatic escapade in Prague started with that stuff

"Drunk as a Russian", as I have heard Czechs say. Though the reputation of the English is moving from cool as a lettuce to plastered as a fresco too.
