Title: IHMN added British, Prussians and Fu Manchu 22/8
Post by: emperorpenguin on 11 August 2013, 08:36:41 PM: Seeing as the wife has been studying all day, precluding me from doing anything noisy eg The Community Shield or computer games, I've managed to paint an entire company of Foreign Legion figures for In Her Majesty's Name today :)

Figures are Artizan March or Die plus Thrilling Tales. The company includes a Bedouin guide, Professor Moebius and his daughter Amelie.

Decided to take photos outside in daylight - much better ;)

So here are my League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, most of them anyway. A gunfighter figure is on order from Reaper for Tom Sawyer but I'm finding it difficult to source a good Dorian Grey or Nemo's crew.
Any suggestions LAF'ers?

Post by: former user on 21 August 2013, 09:46:34 PM: this league looks even better

as for nemos crew, given the fact the Your nemo has an indian outfit, You could just as well use some indian looking soldiers, or use sailors with indian head-swaps

Post by: Malamute on 21 August 2013, 10:14:40 PM: Westwind are about to release a Nautilus crew and a Dorian Grey as part of a whole load of new figures entitled Requiem for Empire of the Dead. (they have all the LoEG Characters coming as well apart from Tom Sawyer who doesn't really count!)
Title: Re: IHMN LExG - Need a Dorian Grey
Post by: Bullshott on 21 August 2013, 10:21:02 PM: Or how about going for French style sailors:

or Russians in shirtsleeves:

Title: Re: IHMN LExG - Need a Dorian Grey
Post by: emperorpenguin on 21 August 2013, 11:42:59 PM: Great ideas guys, thanks!
I like the idea of French style sailors but have had problems with every order from Redoubt so I'd go for Renegade if I went down that route.

I'll likely wait and see what the EOTD models look like first.

Hoping to get some British and Prussians finished tomorrow

In that case also look at Woodbine (via the Gripping Beast website), who make French WW1 marines and also do separate heads that will allow converting other manufacturers' deck crew.

As another alternative, why not go for un-uniformed crew like some of these:

Title: Re: IHMN LExG - Need a Dorian Grey
Post by: emperorpenguin on 22 August 2013, 09:13:08 AM: I had already checked out Woodbine as a possible source of FFL machine guns, good idea.
Like the Pulp figures, do they have a distributor this side of the pond?

Prussian Society of Thule, the mad scientist is my Dr Kobalt, need to get him an Arc Generator. Also need to source some Tod-Truppen

(http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/809/pigx.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/pigx.jpg/)

Dr Fu Manchu and Bodyguard. I'll likely use him at the head of a Black Dragon Tong, in place of the Dragon lady
