League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
« on: June 24, 2007, 08:01:39 AM »
A Weird War II League, as from the movie

Mina Harker, vampire
Allan Quartermain, undead revenant
Arthur Drake, the Pendragon returned
The Hound, an immortal Cuchulain
Michael Galatin, werewolf
Connor McLeod of the Clan McLeod, Immortal
Mr Smith, Frankensteins monster

I have already picked out some models, but what would people suggest as models for these guys? Bear in mind it is WWII, and a slightly more modern appearance than the traditional Gothic/Victorian look would be appreciated.

And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be the light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winter born

the obvious one for the Highlander - maybe mucking around with the hair a bit...

I quite like this one for the werewolf...

Also, seeing as you have an Irish hero, a Scottish hero and a more general British hero (Arthur), you could afford to include a Welsh hero: maybe the Gelert, the hound?

Scroll down about half the page to the 45th Highlander Rifles


You could go Arthur or Cuchulain on these.

Be warned though, Infinity mins whilst superb are around 30-32mm high and have far more realistic proportions that most stuff of the "Foundry" school of sculpting. Then again Highlanders can be big chappies.
