Title: Gorean Fantasy miniatures
Post by: shadowking1957 on 25 September 2012, 06:53:36 PM
I Decided to put my many sets of plastic bits and bobs to use and made 3 characters from my Gor setting from left to right Wolff Blackmaine, Thanos Darkmatter and OST...

Nice mini's, though that woman with the bow isnt wearing enough to be a Gorean freewoman, unless shes a panther/taluna girl, but then she wouldnt be with freemen, and Wolff shoild be Volff as Goreans cant pronounce W's......ARRRGGGHHHH....  ;D

Forget what I just wrote (Gor is kinda silly) great mini's and a nice start to a hopefully great project :)

Not to forget giant riding cats, giant sapient ants, giant weasels and ape-werewolf-whathaveyou-thingies (the Kurii)... I'm sure nobody will forget the slave girls lol

Surprisingly many big name painters of the time, like Jim Burns and Boris Vallejo, worked on the covers for the Gor series, which made them (well, as per covers) more memorable than your basic hacky slashy fare.

I got up to Slave Girl of Gor and then it all got a bit too much for me. Used to borrow them off of a gay pal. Not sure why he liked to read them -- maybe he was identifying with all those submissive slave girlies being ravished by muscular babrarian macho men o_o

I see "feminists" managed to stop good ole John from writing in the 1990's lol

Nice figure conversions! Are you going to spill the beans on how they were made? (Which bits, etc...) I don't recognize any of the poses.

The males are both wargames factory  saxon fyed with bits off  the GB vikings, the girl is an amazon  with a bit of putty, i was impressed by the amazons  and find they work the  Wargames factory  bodies are really good for conversions. i plan to get some  nubian plastics for some more basics and reaper bones wolfaman for the Kurii. shadow forge tribals for my Panthers.
thansk for loking and commants, tarns i would use Giant platic Eagles..

Wargames Factory - never would have known!

I wonder how the Reaper Bones stuff is to work with. A different kind of plastic - I think - perhaps requiring a different kind of glue?

He released "Witness of Gor" in 2001, and then carried on the story sometime in 2009, he's up to book 30 or so now I believe. I managed to get to "Magicians" by skipping out a lot of the slave essay parts and just concentrating on the pulp sci-fi adventure parts.

Apperntly Gor has Samurai now as well.
