Introducing..... The Ghoul Queen!
I collect ghouls (gotta have a hobby), so naturally needed a Queen to lead them. I was a bit miffed that the lastest Ghoul Book from the big guys was all "princes and kings", so pfffft.... Queen Leader Lady over here.
Also check out my brand new website for coolness, as well as lots of new things. I've been a bit crap with updating forums the last few months, so almost certain there is something in there you will have missed.

"The Ghoul Queen! Raising her crude weapon at the moon and shrieking, she is soon joined by a loud rumbling noise. The sound of thousands of ghouls scuttling at her command. They adore their queen, ghouls that come to pay their respects are rewarded with a swift bite to the jugular.
As well as commanding on foot, Her Majesty can also be seen riding many a beast. With this is in mind she is on a resin tabbed base which she can easily be clipped off and pinned on a metal, resin or plastic model.
Cast in high quality RESIN, and 28mm scale, she comes unassembled and unpainted.
Sculpted by Andrew May, display painted by Ralph Plowman. Concept by Annie Norman and Kate Evans."

I dig the sculpt and that's a lovely paint job, but as is often the case with this sort of model I find myself wondering exactly what contributed the bones on the model. The weapon must have come from something absolutely huge, while the necklace bits look like she's been snacking on pixies or something. Really limits cross-use in low-fantasy, Mythos/horror or pulp settings where you might have ghouls/cannibals but not giants or wee folk.
Just a personal niggle, I suppose.

Very cool!

You are the third person this evening, so at least it's not just you ;)
It was designed with high fantasy in mind, leading hordes of bloodthirsty ghouls to storm a medieval castle while stood on the back of a mighty dragon. Has cheese in there...obviously fantasy cheese, not cheesecake!
The bone could be from a number of large creatures... a dragon, a manticore, an elephant beast...thing. Smaller bones could be rabbits....guinea pigs....squeep.

Love it!

Or just small bones from the same creature - finger bones, teeth and wotnot.

Said all! A great idea and a great miniature, Annie, CONGRATULATIONS!
She's not my kind of lady... but I liked the painting very much! ;)

Ditto.
The kind of creature that would give me the player shudders and my player character N/G cleric(s) a burning desire to smite!

Ask not about the bone club unless you really want to know. ;). lol

Fascinating. I shall certainly imagine some scenario for her. >:D

One, for the bone club, could:
Remove/replace it
Use green stuff and knife to turn it into a branch

Or just small bones from the same creature - finger bones, teeth and wotnot.
Or different creatures. Or carvings.

Cool ghoul!
Heresy miniatures have one female ghoul (complete with baby for eating).

Or bone-shaped dog snacks?

So before storming the castle they stopped off at the local zoo. Giraffe femur for the weapon and sheep from the petting zoo for the necklace!

Could be from an ogre or giant of some kind?

She's a ghoul, royalty or not. The like their meat long dead, not fresh. The zoo's right out for a shopping trip. Maybe the museum, or the mansion of some noble with a fondness for exotic taxidermy.
