1920's Era Witch
« on: March 25, 2011, 04:14:56 AM »
Hi all, this is my first post on these forums.  They came highly recommended from several people on BGG.

Anyways, as the subject line says, I'm looking for a 25-28mm mini that would pass for a witch in a 1920s setting.  Nothing too cliched (old hag with crooked nose), perhaps a female cultist or sultry looking 1920s female mini, etc.  I actually need two, ideally not identical.

I read thru the thread below for a mid 20th century witch, but nothing there seems suitable.  The Witches of MacBeth from RAFM are probably closest but even so, still a way off what I had in mind.

Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

I'd suggest a quick butchers at both HF @ http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/catalog.php and pulp @ http://www.pulpfigures.com/catmain.php. For non-identical you might have to hack/mod them yourself but HF do a fair few varients on the same fig. Happy hunting!

BTW whats BGG?

I used the 'Sisters of The Coven' and the 'The Cousins of The Coven' from Westwind Productions (http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=2_33) for my Arkham Horror conversion ...

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

I had originally tried Hasslefree and got Witch Hazel, but then afterwards decided she looked too modern.
I do like the Dragon Lady from Pulp, just a little bit stingy and don't really want to buy the set for one mini.  ;)
Fortune tellers might work, do you know of any?  Minis, not an old Romany lady on the seafront.
Voogla, do you have any pics of the Sisters of the Coven by Westwind?  I was 'looking' at these too but there aint any pictures on the website.  Emailed them about it and they don't have any picture of them, I would have to attend a show! Heh, not much use right now though.

Anyone with anymore?  :)

From Hasslefree, you have the female cultist (who can be bought alone, or with entire family):

Thanks for these guys.  I think I have more than enough to go at now, in fact now I am spoilt for choice!  :D

Umming and ahhing over a few different ones.  Still can't make my mind up whether Witch Hazel looks too modern.  What do you guys think, would she pass as 1920's era character?



And i may go with Miranda:



I also like this one:



Remove the guns of course, only problem is that she is part of a set and I only want this one, bah.

I still want a crone type witch for a Keziah Mason figure.  But there are plenty of those to choose from.

Trying to find some picture of the Witches Coven (not the Sister of the Coven) by Westwind if anyone has one?

Cheers

I like this Metal Magic female for this use (to be had from http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Female_Adventurers.html).
