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?
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?
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.

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 :o
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.

Was she Slovakian? I've heard that particular home brew mentioned by some Slovak friends.
Moravian. Near as dammit.
Slivovice is fantastic, many a lunatic escapade in Prague started with that stuff :D
"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.
Nice to heard here the word "slivovice". I like it. I have many litres of this drink at home. And yes, I'm a Moravian
Where're you from? I used to live in Brno.
I work in Brno
Do me a favour, will you? Drop me an email at tybalthw@hotmail.com so I can send you a photograph of a woodblock print I had stolen there some years ago. If you see the thing in a shop anywhere, buy it for me and I'll pay you a hefty finder's fee. I've been trying to replace it for many years; inter alia, I bought it with my first salary cheque.
I have send you PM

The weird sisters are coming on very prettily. (teaser)

She's like the Hate Mail turned up to eleven on 'roids. Basically a paid troll whose sole purpose is to be as unpleasant and objectionable as possible to generate page views. At least, I hope she's playing the character, and she isn't actually "real".
First encountered slivovice on Bratislava station platform in 1974. A toast utilising slivovice was how I was greeted by my hosts. In those days a Czech crown was worth 4p - a half litre of pilsner lager was one crown and a litre jug of wine was four crowns.
