What would make a good "Steampunk" ghoul?

Post by Digger Goreman »

It would need to fit in with the Warmachine/Hordes Mechanithralls types (a little larger than BB due to steampunk powered attachments)....

Thought you good folk might have some suggestions....

Frankly, I dislike mutton chop sidburns on my women. It causes bad confused dreams about Hugh Jackman.

I am using these (Mechanithralls) for my Necro team ghouls. They are still in their packs however - I may get round to painting them in the next 10 years.

I really like the whole science-mechanical feel to a Necro team rather than the 'magic' version of them. They (mechanithralls) look quite strong compared to what they should be, but I am sure they will look awesome on a playing field.

What are you using the Mechanithralls as if not for ghouls?

Wyrd Miniatures has a bunch of possible steam-punky options, and I can say from experience that their "32mm heroic" scale seems to fit just fine with the standard 25/28mm scale used by most BB figs.

Bigger stuff:

Executioner

Flesh Construct (obviously better suited as a Golem, but you never know)

Steamborg (this guy is probably far too big, but he's pretty cool!)

Smaller stuff:

Bishop

Steampunk Necromancer

You could doa lot worse than the Warmachine Cephalyx models:

or the Withershadow Combine (which wold also give you a funky coach model):

Someone at the Dutch Open had a Cryx-based Undead team. I think he was using Bane Thralls as Wights, and a couple of Brute Thralls as his Mummies.
