Does anyone know of a good DE BSB? I tried one from Mierce Miniatures, but she was WAAAAY too tiny! All of her scale was too far off. This is the one I bought:  I could barely hold her head in my fingertips. The pole for the models was thinner than most sprue supports. Everything that I see is mostly custom jobs and use banners from other armies. Has anyone had luck with this? |

Yeah, I've seen that LE one several times. I really don't like it very much because the actual banner is as small as a handkerchief! That Gamezone mini might work though....

I'm not too impressed with the GW one either. It's the banner it's not suitably ornate (and small like you point out) plus the model itself doesn't really look imposing or special. Here's what the Gamezone one looks like with paint on it. I like it if I were inclined to put my bsb on foot.  |

Yeah, that's probably what I'm going to go with. Don't really care for the Fez they painted on it, but the banner is definitely nice and worthy of an army standard.

It may be possible with a little knife work to remove the head and put something from the GW dark elf line on it instead. I think one of the new plastic executioner heads would look pretty good. Thankfully elves are thin and frail so there shouldn't be too much material to have to remove. I agree though, the head is the only weak part of the model. |

Well, I found one on eBay and got it. Fairly reasonable too.
I don't mind the mask so much, but that fez is bothering me. Looks very Arabian right now. I'll see what I can do with it.

You could add some horns or some wings and paint it metallic instead of clothy to make it look like he's wearing a horned/winged helmet?

Yeah, I was thinking about something like that. It could be easier than cutting it off since it appears to be connected to the banner as well. I'll just have to see what parts I have and what would look appropriate with the model.

I think he's going for the armored noble look not so much the naked witch look.
The blood vestals are some great models though, they're what I use for my witch elves. I'm picky about their characters though (EDIT: Raging Heroes), some of them are the most amazing things out there and some of them aren't worth the material they're made of. I do try and use as many of the good ones as I can though.

Yeah, I think I want to go for the Noble look since the majority of my army is Black Ark themed. I run lots of Corsairs and monsters. I do have 30 Witch Elves, but I don't want one for a BSB.
I love the Raging Heroes line, though!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone not field a hag bsb. I didn’t realise it was even an option 😉

That's probably because most people run Witch Elf Horde armies for their DEs. It fits there.

Still too squishy for my tastes. bsb's are too important to NOT have a 1+/4++ save (when available). Hence why mine rides a Cold One. As a bonus it's very unlikely the knights will ever fail stupidity.
