Title: You Have To Be Realistic?! 'The Bloody Nine'.
Post by: Blackwolf on 12 July 2014, 02:18:40 AM

Would anyone have a suggestion for a miniature of the Joe Abercrombie's chararacter Logen Nine Fingers,'The Bloody Nine'? The character is in essence a fantasy/Viking Clint Eastwood with a dash of wild West as in the novel Red Country.

Cheers

Guy

The Red Box folk seems right up your alley. Some of the more barbaric norse humans might fit well maybe? Like Fearless Hvitarnor or Nannulf of Arnholdt's Hill.

With a dash of sociopathism. Or is this the Clint part?
Red Box had some barbarianesque minis, but I cant find them at the moment :-/

Is it that you are looking for a barbarian with nine fingers ?  I would think there are many 28mm barbarians out there ?

It's worth noting that Hasslefree now carry some of the older RBG miniatures:

As well as the Wolf series which make a nice muscled barbarian if that is what you are after?
