I am in dire need of a miniature and I'm not finding anything suitable by myself, so I am here looking for suggestions.
I would like to find a human female spy for my warhammer roleplay project.
The miniature must be 28mm and not too much on the fantastic side. Even some historical late 16th century should be ok.
The character is an adventurous girl often running through the Empire doing what she has been instructed.
For this reason I have always imagined her as a rogueish (maybe cloaked) person, quite the opposite from a courtier.
I have not been totally satisfied with the miniatures I find on the reaper site, which has the biggest offer so far.
Sadly there are very few female models from the GW range as well.
I'm pretty sure that I am missing something and that someone could point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Privateer Press has a few that might be suitable. The PP world is a sort of magepunk/steampunk world, but they seem to be very find of female-spy types, some of which might work for you.

You can also take a look at the old hobby products en grenadier miniatures available from mega miniatures.
Have to say that the hobby products models will fit in nicely scalewise with old GW, but that the grenadier models, no matter how nice, will probably look smallish..\
You can also take a look at dark sword models or Ral Partha. The last you can also find with iron wind metals.

I really like this miniature, and she has a cloak and a dagger:

Good one! Freebooter was another manufacturer I was thinking of for this sort of thing, but for the life of me I couldn't recall the name.
There's probably some good Reaper figures too, though you have to have the patience to slog through a search with their half-usable figure finder.

What about old citadel - means a trawl through ebay but this little lady might fit the bill

I think she was a thief from the D&D range but I'm sure someone will be able to set me right if not. :)

Thanks everyone for all the answers.
I have some ideas now, and I will make up my mind soon (I have to check with the player as well, of course).
Obviously, I will post the painted result here!
