Discworld Witches - some progress

April 6, 2023

6th April 2023

Thought I would post an update now, as I’m not sure how much hobby time I will be able to fit in over the Easter Weekend (hoping I may be able to finish these).

With the Lumineth Warband completed I have now turned my attention to the three Witches from Discworld. I picked these up as a present for my wife over a year ago, but only ever got as far as putting them together and undercoating them.

Spring clean – worthy minis to work on.

Initially I tried a varying drybrush of greys over the black, but wasn’t really happy with that. So I found a piece of art that I liked of the three witches (Wyrd Sisters, Paul Kidby) and used some of the colours from that as the inspiration for my planned colour scheme.

First up it really had to be Nanny Ogg’s bloomers – they set a cheery tone for the character 😊. At the same time, I changed her clothing colour to a mid/dark blue, just because….

I also tried a dark green for Magrat’s dress – but yet again I wasn’t happy with how it came out. So out came my only other two green paints and the drybrush, and I was much happier with it (starting her hair helped too).
