WF Amazons

[midismirnoff]

Love them or hate them, the WF ladies are showing some skin:

mmm i don't like them: not enough nekkid to be actractive and not about armoured to be cool...

but there are some reallynice sprues of weapons and tools... will they become available separately?

[answer_is_42]

Rather a large waste of plastic to have all the bits on seperate sprues, isn't it?

[midismirnoff]

Yep, the weapons and bitz are the most attractive thing. If WF behaves like it did before, they sell everything anyhow, so I hope to get some archaic shields and extra spears!
And Yep, the amount of plastic to be thrown away cries for vengance. Anyhow it's a heritage the actual management got from the old one, and they're quite aware of the ecologic problem (which will probably lead to nothing different though).
Anyhow it's brave to start a plastic line for such a niche product. I think one should reward them and... get an amazon army  (from Eureka).

Nice weapons set but... what are those women doing there? Target practice?

The kneeling one is obscene...

I think its supposed to be some sort of pose you see on vases and the like.

maybe in a phalanx formation it should work...

Don't you mean a phalic formation?

I'll probably be converting these into Fairies.

The old management used to run a plastic recycling scheme. Return the sprues for more figures. They designed/commissioned these sprues. That seems to have stopped though. New management might take it under consideration if enough people point it out. Maybe not!

The idea for fairy conversions is good. Do you know where we can get seperate wings? Butterfly type preferable but woud go with Angel wings too. Plastic preferable.

[rob_the_robgoblin]

You can get metal ones from Reaper miniatures. That's our source at the moment.

We have looked at using cheapie plastic pound shop toy butterfly wings though. There was a set of plastic ponies with little wings on them, 10 or so for 99p in '99p stores' in Cov not long ago...

Can be... but I can remember nothing about that. About phalanx: right, maybe massed, with 15mm frontage could work. And about sprue recycling: I knew nothing! This is something really interesting!

Infinity does acetate sheets for their holograms and for the wings of their buglike aliens. Laserprinting two pairs of butterfly wings (those littlke bugs actually have 2 pairs of wings and it looks less flat that way) on acetate sheets could work fine for you too.

I'll definatley give those a try. Don't know what to use them for though... Maybe I'll build some generic amazons. The castartus weapon is pure nonsense, but 4 of them could make some nice claws for a Wolverine lookalike.

terrible poses and lack of detail - again
