Raging Heroes - Hildegard and Gretchen

Here are the lovely Von Koningsmark sisters - less their oldest sister Brunhilde from Raging Heroes. (Actually the camera light is a bit harsh on their complexion - they're really not that pasty faced). I  had found out about this French company via James Wappel's amazing work here. Although these aren't up to James' standards, they will do well enough as a Master Engineer and Witch Hunter in my Empire army.

That's Hildegard on the left with a Hochland Long Rifle, and appropriately attired in Hochland colors. Gretchen the Witch Hunter has drawn a brace of pistols, and in Ostermark colors - as that's where she was trained in the art along its Southern borders against vampires and other nasties.

Both figures come with optional arms, and Hildegard is actually posed as firing the Long Rifle. I modified the pose to have her holding it upright as I didn't want to obscure her face and other assets. Gretchen also has an arm with a saber.

Both of their leather cloaks have embroidered borders. Gretchen's motto is Den Teufel mit dem Beelzebub austreiben - the translation according to the Raging Heroes site: Suggested by T. Pichler (Austria), who wrote: "Basically it means 'Exorcising one devil with another', since Beelzebub is another name for the devil (Teufel), so it plays upon the sci-fi version's motto of the devil sending a woman when he can't make it."  Hildegard's motto is Die Götter würfeln nicht - which according to the Raging Heores site:  Suggested by D. Tornier (Germany), who wrote: It means: "The gods do not roll dice; a variation of Einstein's quote about his disdain for the inherent randomness of quantum mechanics; I assumed the middle sister is the engineer/sniper of the trio…"  He added: "It is her firm conviction that there is no randomness or uncertainty to either the rules that govern this universe or her unerring aim. Ultimately everything, from the trajectory of a cannon ball to even the ebb and flow of the astral winds, can be calculated and likewise any enemy who finds himself in the sights of her skillfully designed rifle are already dead."

That's a lot of background storyline for a border of a cloak, but very interesting nonetheless.  Finally, here's a shot of both sisters next to an older and more experienced Witch Hunter from Citadel.

As you may notice, the girls are slightly taller and far more sleek than Herr Witch Hunter, but blend in well enough. Oh, and the Raging Heroes figures are slotta-based metals. They are comparatively priced with Citadel Finecast models which are resin.
