These have been on the workbench for far too long. Nice time to finish them right before Halloween.
But, I have no intention of doing horror games in any other size but 25/28mm. So. I want to incorporate these into my budding ECW project. Are they just harmless old crones? I envision a rule that when a unit encounters them, their true nature will reveal itself. If they are sympathisers with the unit, they will provide it a small bonus for a turn before disappearing. If they are malevolent, then some mishap to the unit will occur. Maybe Matthew Hopkins emerges from the ranks, and the unit halts in place for a turn to burn her up. Maybe the unit's leaders are cursed for a few turns, and firing or moving is impaired. Haven't figured it all out yet, but those are the intentions - a kind of prequel to Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell? Or just a nod to the witch craze that haunts the period.
Two look immediately suspicious. Maybe I stick to four then swap in a storybook witch when they turn out to be evil? I needn't decide now. Indeed, I have just a big unit of the King's Lifeguard sitting there, about 75% finished. No opposition.
