I have only 6 warriors left to have all 30 classes that are finished for Black Hills Warhammer Quest. Today we show off and paint 5 of them.
Lets start with the class I should have shown off quite a while ago, Assassin. Originally the model I'm using for Outlaw was going to be my Assassin, but when I got to painting it, I felt it better worked for Outlaw, which meant I had to go find a replacement for the Assassin. I again went back to Mordheim for charactor classes, and found Aenur, Sword of the Twilight. He drapes himself in a Cloak and with a dark paint scheme can pull off Assassin quite well.

Hair & Boots: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" or "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Horns & Toe Claws: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Next up Elf Ranger.
The original Elf Ranger model and rules, never made sense to me. First, why does an Elf Ranger somehow get to be a terrible wizard or a terrible close combat warrior and good at nothing? To me a Ranger should at minimum be good using ranged attacked, most likely a Bow. When I re-wrote our rules for the Elf Ranger, I completely ignored the original rules. My rules for the Ranger is a hybrid close combat Elf that makes descent Ranged attacks. Each time it successfully hits an enemy with a close combat attack, it can make a free shooting attack at an enemy it it not adjacent to, while even pinned. So if now he is a Ranged Elf, the original model (that depicts him using two weapons at once, which even in the original rules he could never do) wouldn't work. So we need a bow wielding Elf that is distinctly different from the regular Warhammer Quest Elf.
Originally I was going to use the model I have for Elven Bard for the Elf Ranger, but when I saw that model had a Lyre, hidden under his cloak, I had to make that the Bard model. Again we seek Mordheim for another character model. The Kislev Ranger, for an Elf Ranger. With all these models, I shrink them down 67% of normal size. If I left them 33% smaller, many parts would get too skinny, either being difficult to tell what they are suppose to be or so skinny they break easy or don't print correctly. So I them increase the width and depth of each model by 15-25%, depending what looks best. This does make many of my models look a little squashed (shorter but similar width and depth). This Kislev Ranger may suffer from this more then any model before it, as she already had some very "stacked" features.

Next up Ex-BloodBowl Player.
So the original Warrior Class book, used Griff Oberwald. I never really cared for this model. The giant eagle on his head is just too silly. I want to stay "oldhammer" style, so I was thinking Mighty Zug! Problem is, I have been unable to find a STL for Mighty Zug. So to hold the position temporarily, I've just printed off a normal human linemen.
Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Helmet, Pants, Gloves: "Kantor Blue" dry brushed with 50/50 mix (Kantor Blue & Scar White)
Left Shoulder Pad: "White Scar"
Belt: "XV-88"
Boots: "Administratum Grey" /w "Black" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" or "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Dwarven Runesmith!
So I think this is entirely of our design (Black Hills Warhammer Quest). I could be wrong.
The Runesmith works like a Wizard//Healer. But he prepares his "spells" before setting on an adventure. As the Runesmith leaves a settlement, he get a number of runes to choose from that he can hand out to the party. These runes last until the next time the party visits a settlement and then the runes fade. The runes can only be applied to Weapons, Helms, Shields, Body Armours, and Cloaks. No item can have more than 3 runes, and no item can have more than one Master Rune. These restrictions include both normal Treasure runes and Rune made by the Runesmith. The Runes available to the Runesmith depend on his level and a random roll. This model is a generic Dwarf Runesmith from 3-4 edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, I found the STL on Telegram.
Dwarf Runesmith Paint:
Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Clothes: "Sotek Green" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Hair & Beard: "Administratum Grey" dry brushed with "Corax White"
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" or "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Last model for today, Chainsaw Warrior.
Yes, yes. Ash Williams from Army of Darkness, Evil Dead, etc. I think my partner in crime (Bob the Bobish) found a fan made Chainsaw Warrior for Warhammer Quest, but we did a complete re-write to make it work with our Black Hills Warhammer Quest. He has a Chainsaw and a Boomstick, he has pithy phrases that infuriate enemies and booster allies. The Wizard's Tower is obsessed with him and his chosen one status. I found a few different STL's for Ash Williams, and the model below is mostly one model, with the Chainsaw off a different one.
Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Shirt: "Sotek Green"
Pants: "XV-88"
Metal Bitz: "Runefang Steel" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Hair & Shoes: "Administratum Grey" /w "Black" Wash
Gun Stock & Gun Holster: "Catachan Flesh"

| The 5 new warriors together. |
Only one warrior class left, Amazon. It needs to be printed first than I can paint it. The model has failed to print twice, but I'm confident it should print this time. That leaves 3 were-forms for the Kislevite Shaman, 3 companions for Bretonian Knight, and 17 NPCs to be painted, then I can move onto printing and painting expansion monsters.
I'm up to 48 Warriors & Pals painted, 70 are 3D printed of the 72 needed as of 11/15/25.
That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.
DeMagic Tutor out.
