Title: Miniatures holding snakes
Post by: The Gray Ghost on August 25, 2015, 03:51:03 PM: I'm looking for 28mm human, male or female, figures holding snakes.
I have the two from Forge of Ice but am looking for more

Post by: Major_Gilbear on August 25, 2015, 04:45:19 PM: I only found these two from Reaper:

Female mage (https://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/snake/latest/14330)

Male mage (https://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/snake/latest/14060)

Unfortunately, they're both holding staffs around which the snakes are wrapped, rather than holding the snakes directly, but it's the closest I could find.

Then again, you could trim the staff off, add a piece of wire with the snake head on it (taken from the staff) to the hand and sculpt the snake's body on with a little putty. Pretty simple to do. :)

...not exactly 'human holding a snake' but 'human holding a staff that looks like a snake'...

Can't remember the figures name, though. Sorry.

Post by: psyberwyche on August 26, 2015, 02:12:43 PM: I second the Celtos Morrigan and Studio McVey Seraphine. In fact, the latter is one of the finest sculpted and cast models I own - so good I haven't got round to painting it yet because it's intimidating!

Don't paint her. Marry her. I know I would ;)
Great to see she's still available, I did miss on her...

Oh wow. She'd been out of stock for ages and normally McVey is strictly numbered limited editions.

I wonder if they "found more in the couch cushions" GW-style (not that I'm complaining).

Post by: Duke Donald on August 27, 2015, 09:08:36 PM: The McVey miniature is not out of stock. I'd been agonising for ages whether to buy her but this thread pushed me over the edge. I ordered her earlier today and there are still more copies left in store; she's not cheap though.
