Bergjaeger #9: the staff bearer

This model is an unreleased Marauder Miniatures wizard (or Magic User) initially referenced MU3. It is now distributed by Warmonger Miniatures as a "Time Warped Wizard". To be honest, I understand why this model was not released, as the sculpting job is err... quite bad actually.

I've tried to improve it by replacing the original staff with a new one, stolen from a Rackham orc shaman. I will count him as a staff/standard bearer :)


And here is the third trio of foresters:

The Shearers' Guild Master and his shield bearer

Second addition to the rank of wealthy citizens leading the Guildhouse militia, this model was an unreleased Marauder Miniature for a long time. Lucky you (and me), this Magic User (former reference MU 9) is now available for almost free (compared to eBay standards!) as a "Time Warped Wizard" from Warmonger Miniatures.

As the city of Pfeildorf is renowned for its wool clothing industry, the guild master of the Shearers had to appear as a very rich citizen, and this wizard was the perfect match. As for the shield bearer (MM64 HL5), I've simply removed the right hand holding the spear and sculpted a new one holding the shield.


The arms of the guild are golden hand shears. A few examples can be found on the web (see below).

Now I'm still hesitating about the next Guild master: I have a few models, some of them sculpted by Aly Morrison, but unfortunately not from the Marauder Miniatures range. Should I break the Marauder-only rule for them? Or try to use some MM62 citizen, even if they're not as convincing as the ones already painted? We'll see...

Time Warped Wizards

For those (like me) who missed the Oldhammer week-end this summer, the formerly unreleased Empire Magic Users (see collecting Citadel Minis wiki) will be soon available.
