or Morcar, also known as Zargon for North American Audiences, blah blah blah.
Sure it's pretty scary when the witch lord returns but what you should really be afraid of is "Resurrection of the Witch Lord". Resurrected baddies always come back more threatening than ever, usually kind of demonic with wings and horns and hell fire to announce their arrival. Think Gannondorf or Mother Brain from Super Metroid.

I fell off the face of the earth for a short time, so i know i have been no help in this project whatsoever, but i must ask, has anything developed with the wiki? Wish I was more ready to contribute, but I managed to lose my HQ notes and will be starting over, unless someone beat me to it. This time, however, I will be going straight to word document format, easier to back up, harder to lose. Please let me know and i will try to be on more often again.

I completed the list for the NA edition and quest packs and it's on page 4 of this thread. I had intended to work on including EU information as well, but honestly I don't think I have the time or motivation to work on this. You can use it as is for NA players, unless someone else wants to make a EU version.

(Just because...) I'm considering something very much the same so here's the list of what I'd like to do;

Character_substitution.JPG


Some of the unnecessary ones might change but it's almost identical to Goblin-King's list. I'm rather happy with the (recast's from Bill) minis from the expansions so won't look to substitute them. One thing I'd like to do is have two sets of stone painted Chaos Warriors and Gargoyles as one would be painted with red eyes indicating that they are say Stone Chaos Warriors or they are statues that can come alive. I'd probably still like to paint Doomguard CW's differently to 'regular' CW's and probably the magical armour too.

I'm also generating a list of alternate models for the regular monsters but I think I'd like to stick to the originals (I like them) and I'd rather separate the specials from the stock.

Great list.

I also found a couple more I'll be adding to the main list:

Eyes of Chaos
Pierre Chancier (Knight of the Empire apparently. Official model seems to be Bretonnian)

Revenge of the Weather Man
Ice Gargoyle (Gargoyle)
Death Reapers (Skeletons)
Erongil (Chaos Sorcerer)

Running the Gauntlet
Munzuk the Hun (Barbarian)

Just found and read this thread. It is really really great! Along with KK's list of minis needed for the game I slowly get the full impression of what lies before me.

Thank you again dear forum, for filling the gap while I am waiting for my car to be repaired.
