As opposed to other minis in this thread, which display nakedness for the sake of...?

The Latin expression for the Beasty is "Ars gratia artis": art for the sake of art...I knew six years of Latin would be good for SOMETHING one day.

respect for the elder !

I was browsing my way through Reaper's goodies AGAIN, AND in the list of popular search title was Klockenbooty, referring to Werner K's female minis...ALL 46 of them:

Like this one:

painted by Jeremie Bonamant Teboul

03329: Hannah Blackruby, Female Wizard ($4.99) Werner Klocke AND her friend: <table cellSpacing=5 cellPadding=5 border=0><tr><td vAlign=top align=middle width=500> painted by Noel Meyer </TD></TR> <tr><td vAlign=top align=middle height=37>03126: Ghoul Queen & Servants ($14.49) Werner Klocke </TD></TR></TABLE> Werner DOES some GREAT minis of various types, but he has a REAL flair for the Ladies.

Continuing with Herr Klocke's WORKS of WONDER, two very different takes on the same mini:

painted by Derek Schubert

painted by Marike Reimer

03078: Pearl the Mermaid ($4.99) Werner Klocke

Hahaha, I kid I kid.
Not that nude minis can't be good minis - I just didn't really see how the links he posted were more gratuitous in their nudity than others in this thread (or how naked females in fantasy aren't nudity for the sake of nudity on some level, even if they are artistic as well).

But hey, we all love a good miniature, regardless of clothing (or lack thereof)!

think good old Werner later made a succubus bases on the ghoul queen (a rather pricey figure if i remember correctly)

damn ! damn ! damn !
you really want to turn me onto the reaper stuff, aren't you ?!
this isn't the first time you got me all heated up
can't understand why they aren't more commonly available in europe !
my wife says that's probably best ...

Totally missed the mermaid - very cool! It's interesting to see such different inerpretations of the same figure. Any chance we can get a full shot of the dark mermaid? Looks like she has some kind of minion tethered to her.

I can't believe nobody has posted any of the MARVELOUS hasslefree miniatures in this thread.

This in one of my all time favs:

@magokiron: LOVE Hasslefree's minis. Kev White HAS a way with the Ladies...hope his wife doesn't find out .

AND due out this month, from the Ron & Bones range:

Perfect Carnival of Chaos leader! Er, slaneeshi flavored maybe.

I hadn't thought of that...VERY GOOD IDEA!

Nurgle is an equal opportunity employer by the very nature of his recruiting tactics.

I'm kinda tempted to pick that model up for my Carnival band as-is just to use as a "brethren."

Yeah, the only thing sexier than Marike Reimer's painting is Marike Reimer.

For those unfamiliar with the OH SO CUTE Marike, here she is:


Left to right - Larry Elmore, Marike, Tom Meier .

Am I the only one who wonders why women in fantasy even bother to wear armor? I mean 90% of the time they wear some armor on their arms and legs, but let their T&A's fly free in the wind. So what's the point? Why not go full monty and streak the battle fields.

Just saying.

I was drooling my way through the Reaper Previews today...YET MORE minis I can't live without OR have the $s to buy. While most on the Can't-Live-Without weren't at least obviously Female, this one obviously is:

14575: Tierdeleira, Dark Elf Priestess Werner Klocke

Gotta admit the VERY first thing I'd do is replace that whatever-it-is weapon.
Otherwise the Girl's got potential.

With the HO HO Season looming over our bank accounts like a Dark Figure of Imminent Doom, a Christmas Sophie is in order:

painted by Anne Foerster

01422: 2007 Christmas Sophie: A Reaper Christmas Carol ($24.99) Julie Guthrie, Bob Ridlofi

HAPPY SHOPPING!

WOAH. The Paint job on that sword is amazing. I wish I could do that!

ANYWAY!. I was in the market for an unconventional Sisters army and replace the sisters models with Nuns. And I mean like Catholic Nuns, and the Matriarch with a Priest or something. Any ideas for the Nun's Figured this would be the best place to ask.

Reaper has a lot of nuns.

I just ordered a bunch of Reaper minis (including the nuns) to make a non GW Sisters of Sigmar warband. On https://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/painting-and-modelling-f3/start-of-a-new-sisters-of-sigmar-warband-t3019.htm you'll find my post with pics of the models I thought could pass as sisters/nuns/etc. Good luck and have fun!

Pretty sure his wife is Libby. AND she buys him research material...



this is one of my faves.

surprised this one hasn't been mentioned.

VERY COOL! ...although it's a sad commentary on society, or, at least, HER society, when a sweet, if somewhat provactively clad, young woman feels it's necessary to carry a BIG axe around.

I showed the Mini of the young lady with the axe to my Lady and she is now hellbent on getting me to make that costume for her.

time to get to the metal shop.
