Well, I guess you know most of them, but hopefully you found one or two surprises ...

Once more ; NONE of these were painted by me !

If you still want more, I can search what figs I did paint in the past (rather distant past, so the paint jobs won't be very good), and / or make photo's of white metal or white/black primed mini's.

I'm eagerly awaiting what other female figures there might exist, so please folks, keep 'em coming !

cheers

In addition to their Barbarians, Bronz Age minis also has an almost ALL Girl Pirate Band with one VERY happy looking Guy Pirate: http://www.bronzeagemin.com/miniatures_html/25MM/historical/Pirates/28mm-Pirates.htm . A sample:


The Barbarian Babes, http://www.bronzeagemin.com/miniatures_html/25MM/FANTASY/barbarians/32bar-miniature.htm :




Cool, huh?!

I've always wanted to buy this model...

uh ... rather hot than cool ...
I like the fantasy gals more than the gladiator style ones, although the redhead with sheathed sword looks quite ... ah ... impressing ...
if you ever pass in belgium, you gotta bring me a set ! i'll pay you a REAL belgian beer for it !

do you know resina planet ?
here's one example, but they have several (both fantasy and pirate)

gimme some more !

hi Hero,

that seems to be a reaper one ?
where are you from ?

The Ron & Bones range from Tale of War have some nice Pirate Chicks like:



AND



I'd KILL for some of their minis; SO...you got anyone you want bumped off...

d*mn !
i've been mixing up threads ; answering one on the other .... lol !
like i was saying ; yes, these southerners have some really cool stuff !

what do you mean Deaf ? that it is hard to order from europe when you're in the us ?

maybe we def need to start swapping !
but, no, I don't have any pirates, and due to the amount spent this year (being unemployed gives me plenty of time to browse ebay, get to know online shops, and other dangerous stuff) I most certainly can not buy any more figures for the coming ... ahhhhhhh .... years .....
There's a french company selling out the rackham stock at crazy prices and i nearly got a heartattack
(and an empty wallet)

Financially speaking, I have about the same credit rating as a stereotypical Banana Republic; ergo, if you need a credit card to buy it, I'm not in the market. Fortunately I DO have several hundred minis nestling in The Vault of Pack Rattiness to tide me over in these Dire Times.
When things improve for us, an exchange of goodies would be UBERCOOL! We can live in hope.

I'm so bleedin tired of the norm that all female models should have these sexual allusions – Can't they just be plain though-ass-Ripley-killing-chics. I thank the SoS (even though even them have to show some naked skin down there legs.
I mean, fantasywarriors in G-string decorated armour and push ups to ther chins are just off putting.

pfff, I never shunned some uncovered flesh
wether they're completely covered in armour, or just clothes, or just a G-string, I just like to have both sexes represented in my collection
and since painting flesh is one of my major challenges, the G strings come in handy ... (or is that just an excuse I'm serving myself of ?)

i posted a fair amount of pics here, and think there's a fair amount of non nakedness ? Or am I mistaking ?

What is the SoS you're thanking ?
(I'm an ooooooooooold guy, so complete nerd to all abbreviations and terms everyone else seems to know. Have some pity !)

Popmouth,

mmmm... I must admit ; the clothing is maybe a bit limited ...
oh well ...


Deaf,
I never needed a creditcard until I adventured onto ebay (what a foolishness that was ! lol !) and then just got a visa card for free from my bank for being a good customer.
So that thing costs me nothing, and all payments are extended until the end of the month.
Viewing your age, maybe you can get a senior version with extra benefits ?

Not all fantasy females are Babes, Hassle Free among others has some tough-as-nails, robust Lasses, but still females. These are the Babes I'm currently working on:




SEXY, huh?!

ergh ... wouldn't exactly call them sexy, but they sure seem nice for some cool little diorama !
how far are you done with them ?
the only bloody work I did today was some work on the hybrid bases for the rackham guys ... always get the feeling everything is taking me forever

you saw the "dame claudia nessiath" (or something like that) ; I based her on one of the scibor bases ; really like those

For the more exotic minis folks like CMoN require PayPal or Credit Cards for payment. There ARE, however, prepaid cards...just have to have the $s to pay for them. AND, fortunately, The War Store & a couple other NICE people DO accept Money Orders as payment...OH BABY!

I finished the Witch on the left & the center one is underway. The Cauldron I did a couple years back when one of my commission Guys ABSOLUTELY HAD TO HAVE the Coven...he lost interest; I tend to attract patrons with severely limited attention spans .

VERY COOL bases! Are they examples of your brush work? If so...OH WOW!

mmmm, I'm not quite sure I completely understand you
Visa is a credit card (didn't cause me any pain to obtain) ; paypal is a way of using that credit card online with greater security (again ; no pain involved)
As for the $ ; well, if I buy $50 worth of stuff, those $50 will go off my regular bank account a month later.
I used money orders in my teens (for the us zappa fanclub and the german doors fanclub ! yes sir !) but found those rather expensive !
with the pound being relatively low to the euro, it's a pleasure buying stuff from england
there is even an english company that doesn't charge shipment costs
how sweet is that ?!



cauldron a couple of years back ...
lol !
how i hate to have figs in my closet that have two brush strokes from 3 years ago !
but i can never resist ...

noooooooooooooo ! the bases are company examples, mine are still bare resin except for one or two that are going to be primed very shortly, but will remain primed for at least a couple of months

I noticed you know a fair amount of mini's and games. Do you know the Hybrid (+Nemesis) game from Rackham ? I bought both boxes for € 25 (which is about $ 25) and am planning box one for Pablo's birthday (nov 5th) and the second one for a christmas gift. I have some of the mini's double, so i hope to have them painted by nov 5th....
The game got reasonable to good reviews, but apparently the rules are rather complicated and the english traduction is sucking ...

I know !
you let your patrons pay you in miniatures instead of cash !
I used to do that sometimes !

Hey Deaf,

there's this french guy ... if you don't know him, you MUST check him out !
He's no longer a painter or a sculptur ; he's a real ARTIST !
no kidding !
Jéremy Bonamant Téboul
here are two links :
http://www.jeremiebt.com/index.php?page=siteuk
damn, can't find the second one ...

oh well, he's one youtube as well, and there is a dvd of several hours of him giving tutorials circling around ... well worth viewing !

"Hey Wolfgang, how ar' ya preraring to venturing to Mordheim?"
"I'll try to take as much protection as I can. Ya can never tell what dangers lurk in those shadows... I'll take me heaviest armor and sharpest of blades"
"That is good. How about ye, Rebecca?"
"Oh I was thinking to go with no shirt, bra or trousers. I'll just wear my g-string and leather straps that go inconveniently over my some parts of my body. What's the worst thing that could happen anyway?"

I'll rest my case.

you got more than a point Kaptain !
but it's just that we started talking female mini's
I guess we either love em or hate em
maybe Rebecca just stunned her enemies by her looks long enough to go charging in swordswinging ?

maybe it's us who started out as youngsters reading Conan that don't object to lesser clothed female companions for our other mini's ...
some say it's not realistic ; hey, we're talking fantasy figures, right ?

oh well, maybe Deaf & I belong to a minority. That's the fun of this thread ; to find out things like that and see mini's we didn't know existed.

Anyone else care to share his/her opinion or pictures ?
All is greatly appreciated.

cheers

by the way ; I always wondered where the female orcs were hiding ...

think I ever saw one or two, but they weren't very nice

As Wolgang & his equally heavily armored comrades stare at the scantily clad Beauty & drool profusely, the Lass' friends, who out number the Tin Men several times over, move QUICKLY, & SILENTLY from behind & slit some throats.
For various reasons, like cost & value for the $s, most Guys & Gals don't equip their War Bands with armor anyway.

Actually the discussion was more about the minis than about their uses in Dear Old Mordheim, but, considering the level of decadence in the City of the Damned, the scantily clad femmes DO fit right in.
There are quite a few female minis that are fully clothed...Sandy Garrity's Oh So Pristine Ladies come to mind...for those who like that style. The Pin Up Girl look though is one that seems to dominate Fantasy Art from the likes of Frank Franzetta, Boris Vallejo, Larry Elmore, etc..
Posting some Prim & Proper but still feminine Chicks would be cool...go for it.

SoS=Sisters of Sigmar...I had to think about it for a few minute myself. Abbreviations are the In Thing with posts. Personally I find them annoying; they do save time for the fellow posting, but, if it takes awhile to figure out what they mean, their a pain for the reader. Even as a lazy person myself, I think getting your meaning across is better than saving a second or two in composing a message...grumbling is GOOD for the soul.

Prepaid credit/debit cards are purchased at a set denomination...say $50. You can then charge up to that amount on=line or in person. It's handy for folks like loi who don't have bank accounts.

If we're talking warhammer orcs, there's none. Orcs multiply with spores that drop off their skin. They don't even notice it to happen. However, GW did release a female orc cheerleader to Blood Bowl as a joke years back.

GW Game Designers still buy into the "found in a cabbage patch" idea about procreation. There ACTUALLY are some pretty cool female Orcs out there...I'll have to hunt some up to post.

In the meantime, from Dark Sword http://www.darkswordminiatures.com/ :




or



Clad but cool...AND sexy! Dark Sword does minis based on Fantasy Artists like Elmore & Parkison. Their only real draw back is the REALLY thick bases they're mounted on.
