Title: Upcoming for Hell Dorado
Post by: Hammers on December 04, 2007, 07:37:31 PM: Here's a reinforcement for the saracen warband. I feel that this lady could be the eye candy centerpiece for a desert Pulp-game to. Yum. My only critique is that the horsey is painted to look a little bit too cute. It looks a little like a little girls toy, making it all look Disney.

:lol:

But a luvverly model, nonetheless. I guess once you paint it as a fiery steed, a black Arabian, probably, it´ll look far more grim & trve...

Though perhaps not Indian-looking enough, I still think she'd make a great (maybe for VSF rather than real life) Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi.

I need to scan some of the professionally painted ones I have which are absolutely stunning.

I like 'french sexy', me, rather than 'Conan the Barbarian sexy'.

You are not wrong, Plynkes. I somewhat object to the paint job on the horse. The thing with Arab horses is that they *are* quite romantic looking IRL, with long curly manes, long eye lashes and dainty legs and noses. A arab stallion that's got a whif of or is competeing for a mare in heat has nothing Disney about it in my experience.

The lady herself is quite a dish.

So far I have resisted Helldorado, but I don't know how much longer I can hold out!

I still, after having gone over the the internet with a louse comb, haven't found out how these minis compare to other brands. Does anyone know? Are they like Racjham, Reaper or Dark Sword?
