Amongst
my many little obsessions is pumpkin heads, especially evil pumpkin heads*. I
don’t know where it comes from, or why it has stuck with me over the years, but
it has.
A
couple of years ago, either for a birthday or Christmas, my buddy Phil gave me
a small pack of resin pumpkin heads, I think from Puppets of War (although I
could be wrong about that). For whatever reason, these heads sat in my bits box
for years.
The
other day, I just felt really compelled to paint up a pumpkin head, so I
quickly threw this guy together. Apart from the head, the rest of the bits come
from the Frostgrave Cultists box. I gave him a skeletal arm as I thought I
could paint it to look like sticks, which I think as worked pretty well.
In
truth, I’m pretty pleased with him. In fact, I like him so much, I have decided
that a full pumpkin-headed Frostgrave
warband needs to be one of my little projects for the year. Of course, I’m
going to need some special rules for that, so look for ‘Vegimancer’ rules
coming later this year (possibly for Halloween).
It was Anvil Industries. I think you got the original set - there’s a newer pack if you want more variety (not to mention a pumpkinhead character): http://anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/search&search=Pumpkin
