The main reason why I wanted my own kislevite Miniatures was an article written by Michael Perry, which was released in White Dwarf and re-released in Best of Town Cryer. In this article Michael described how to create a kislevite warband with just the Mordheim Militia Sprue, some Green stuff and lots of imagination. I was so fascinated by this kislevite minis that I decided to build my own kislevites. But I didn't want to copy Michael Perrys Kislevites, no I wanted my very own warband. Once a day, while searching through Games Workshops Mail Order archives (which is one of my favourite leisure amenities ;o)) I found the Miniatures of the Kislevite Horsemen Archers. I nearly forgot about them because in WFB 6 they are not included in the Imperial Army (which is my favourite army). In this moment the idea about using this models for my Kislevite Warband rose. There is a wide variety of Horsmen archers available: with swords, with bows, with furcaps, with plaits etc. And the best of all is that the modells consist of three main parts: upper part of the body, legs and horse and that you can order them separately. So I ordered a lot of Kislevite horsemen Archers upper body parts (I'm shure the Mail Order Troll who packed my order thought I'm a lunatic...), some green Stuff, an Empire militia Box, Middenheimer Accessory Sprue and the Mordheim Accessory Sprue.

After deciding which parts from the various spruesI would use for the models and separating them from their sprue I filed the chosen parts carefully. I then started to put the parts together: first of all I glued the Legs from the Empire Milita sprue to the base and then attached the Horsemen Archers upper part to the legs. Then I took a furcoat from the Middenheimer Accessory Sprue and glued it on the kislevites shoulders. Now the Green Stuff comes into action: I formed a rolled out piece of Green stuff and used it to built up the furcoat around the shoulders. Using a needle (yes, a needle!) I formed the structure of the fur to the green stuff. I then added a brooch made from the skull of the Empire Soldiers Shield emblems (the cross with the skull inside). Then I added some interesting details like a pistol halter and a pouch from the Mordheim Accessory sprue and a feather from the Empire Soldiers sprue. As soon as the Green Stuff dried out I undercoated the Modell with black paint. Finally I painted the Model. Another Version is to create the Kislevite Warrior only with plastic parts (which is a little bit cheaper).
