If I was to be asked a question like: "What will the witches look like?", how will I respond to it would I say The witches would look like… or The witches will look like….
The example shows someone asking me how I will plan for something, so surely if your planning something you would be be doing it in the future (tense). However why does would sound right in my head?

How 'would' you respond? You should use 'will'. The question asked about the predicted actual future (the one that you will experience). It did not ask about the future of some other (parallel or branching) universe in which something odd happens (or happened). In that case the question would have used 'would' (as I just did, in positing a universe where the question was altered).
