This project originated with one of Yaktribe’s roughly monthly modelling competitions, with the straight forward theme of “hired gun/sword for your chosen setting”. I’ve made a lot of Necromunda hired guns in the past (e.g. bounty hunter, pit slave) but never anything for Mordheim (unsurprisingly given I have never played it and only relatively recently turned to hobbying for it). Interest piqued, I looked through the options for hired swords. There are many, and lots of them sounded cool. But what swung me behind going with a bounty hunter was a bit of inspiration from this insanely good kitbash from the Town Cryer on Reddit.
Without wanting to just copy this model, I took some elements of it – a large, bulky fellow, grizzled, laden with equipment, and started looking through what bits could be useful.
