Warning: The links contain nudity!

If you do not mind a little conversion work then Viejo Dragon do some great 40mm female figures for conversion, a lot of nudity among them, though, I warn you!

I have this one ready for my own conversion to Hel...

https://elviejodragon.com/tienda/nimph-3/

...half of a suitable 40mm skellie head will give me a good head start, then it is just a rework of the clothes with GS.

I have already started on Freyja using this one as a base....

....a suitable amount of GS and the NSFW tag is easily removed.

It appears to be, yes. I'm sorry, I didn't pay sufficient attention earlier. I didn't realise it was a conversion of an entirely different figure, I thought it was a Hel figure that had been tweaked a bit. Cheers, TWD.

Thanks, Mason, certainly some possibilities there.

Hasslefree has a 40mm that I think would make a fine Hel.

She might need a bra or corset though.

I agree, that one has a lot of potential. Thanks! Getting quite a few options now.

Bronze Age Miniatures has a "Norse Gods" range found here:

http://bronzeagemin.com/lore/new-category/

Unfortunately, no Hel, but the Frigga figure might be a base for converting if nothing else comes around.

There are also some very large statuettes of Norse Gods floating around, but those may be a bit too tall (11") and maybe a bit too cheesecake:

Cheesecake or not: there should be *no fucking horned helmets*!

Oh dear, I had no idea H was such a stickler!  lol lol


You're okay with wings, though, aren't you? Brunhild ain't Brunhild if she don't have a set of wings on her hat.

(Also, I really liked Idris Elba as Heimdal, sorry!)

*Nor! Winged!*

GW has a few plastic banshees which quild give you a quite good maniquin to start with. The "bad half" if you plan to go  with that look. Richard has  got me quite hooked on this plastic kit bashing malarkey.

Thanks, Eric. Unfortunately that one image is not displaying for me. But I Googled the figure and so now have seen it. I think that might work, another one to consider (haven't bought any figures yet). Ta!

I like that one. Though I might use her as a different goddess, or even actually a giant maybe. Thanks, again.

For giants I usually first turn to Reaper. Two of their minis have already been mentioned, but I want to suggest two others:
Yephima, Female Cloud Giant - www.reapermini.com/search/giant/latest/77162
Frost Giant Queen -  www.reapermini.com/search/giant/latest/77592
With a little conversion, they could be suitable Hels, I think.

Looks like they are not available in metal anymore, but in Bones plastic, though.

Thanks, Annie, but as I mentioned in the initial post, I have already ruled that one out. I like the figure itself, but I'm not really digging the extra clutter of the serpent and the dead fellow. Not really my cup of tea.


Thanks to all, I have the figure I need now. You may even see it here one day.
