Very cool bud. I didn’t even need to read the text to know where they were from. The banners just screamed it.

Really nice empire stuff there. I too love the banners. The swag of that commissioned unit champion is also just dandy.

So these are my two left-hand weapon options. I think I'm gonna go with the torch, just because it'll make for a much cooler paint job.

I guess it depends if you want him to crawl through the sewers of Mordheim or lead a regiment of brave statetroops in battle. But you are right, torch makes for a nice painting focal point.
How badly does he tower over his fellow man?

They're actually pretty close to the other WH models that I have. (I placed these two on come cork, so they may appear slightly higher, but but not much difference that I can tell.)

I was thinking two pistols before I saw your photos, but the torch looks like it might be cooler, especially once painted. I don't mind different heights between models. It's not like all human beings are the same size. And naturally, tall people like myself rise to leadership positions

well, sedge, but do you also have bigger belt buckles, wider sashes and broader swords etc. but these don't look terribly off. when you get a chance though, mottdon, a picture next to a humble state trooper would be nice. That is vicious posse of witch hunters you have there.

Naitsabes Well, here he is next to an unpainted Greatsword. He IS taller, but it doesn't really bother me. I have to really look for it and compare the two. The top of the GS's head is about level with the top of his shoulder pads. Funny thing is the WH's head seems actually smaller! Lol! Again, "seems so" because it's just really hard to tell. Honestly, one of the better things that GW has produced in a while that can directly play in 8th, IMO. There are plenty of details, but they don't feel over-the-top. I highly recommend this set, which is saying something for me! I'm putting together the Lord Kroak right now. I thought about trying to "wedge" him onto a 50x50, but the model is SO gosh-darn BEAUTIFUL that I don't really want to go cutting it up, so instead, I'm going to put him on a 100x100 so that he can still fit in a unit of Temple Guard. He'll have plenty of room compared to the round base he came with, but AoS isn't trying to fit him in next to ranked units.

Thanks for the comparisons. They really are great models. Shame I’ve hit a buying hiatus for the summer. Still they will be one for the autumn and the enforced embargo should help clear down a few models first!

Nice Valtens! I hate to break it to you but, there is also this version: (back in the bad old days, a monstrous mount like that Elven steed could be killed separately. And then Exalted Valten on foot had to rise to the occasion)
edit: it so happens that middle Valten is on my paint station too. Please inspire me with your color choices!
