Here's a new random and irregular feature for the forum
I quite often get emails from people asking about the things I've posted, why these people choose to email me rather than replying to the relevant topic forum is beyond me - but in an attempt to get a little more traffic to our humble corner of the internet I've decided to make a feature of these questions via email. So here goes ….

Sacred Sockpuppet of Sigmar
Hiya Mort'
just joined after lurking for some time while I tottered on the fence deciding whether or not to get back into gaming. The final "push" came when I saw your sockpuppet, and I remembered all the GOOD things about the hobby :-)
So, c'mon, spill the beans. what is he? I'm guessing you've converted the mini from something like the top of an Empire standard but I've googled til my fingers bled and can't find anything appropriate!
Thanks again for the inspiration and I hope you don't mind me asking.
See you 'on the boards'

I'm guessing the model in question here is this one:
This is in fact not a conversion at all but a stock figure from Citadel's Mordheim range (also it doesn’t actually belong to me but my friend Mutt). Specifically this miniature is a Zealot from the Witch Hunter faction (you find pictures of in the colour section of the Mordheim Rulebook pg100 and pg108).
Here's a
Link to Witch Hunter Figures on the Collecting Citadel Miniatures WikiBefore we got into playing our dungeon-based MortiS Quest games, my group used to mainly play Mordheim so we had many Mordheim figures lying around which went on to become PCs and NPCs in MortiS Quest
Given GW's recent policies toward nice old miniatures like this, it seems unlikely that this model is still available, but they were quite common for a long time so you should beable to pick up this fella from eBay for (hopefully) a reasonable price.
While searching for images to use in this post I came across this nifty conversion which you might want to consider having a stab at doing should eBay prove problematic

It looks to be made from the running victim from the Citadel Plastic Giant plus some bits from the Citadel Plastic Flagellant kit and should prove pretty easy to execute Well that's all for now - Until next time; if anyone has any more questions about things I've posted on the forum, please reply to the relevant post on the forum
