Does anyone make a Red Sonja miniature....?

One miniature is too many, and a thousand are not enough...

I saw once a "Not-Red Sonja" which was very close to the Comic one.
If I could just remember the Company-name.

If think they also produce Post Apoc minis ???

Inspiring stuff, I will have to paint that Conan mini I've been sitting on for years now...

also a great movie, got me into REH and a gritty fantasy style, don't care what the haters want to say.

Looks great to me, I can't wait to see the finished results.

Are the four teams going to be able to cooperate?  Or will they all have differing missions in each scenario?  I am curious to see how you work that aspect of things out.

If you need inspiration as to how to bring things together, check out "The Servants of Bit-Yakin" by Howard.  It is not one of his more famous tales ("Queen of the Black Coast, Beyond the Black River, The Tower of the Elephant, The People of the Black Circle"...you get my point), however, the level of intrigue and plotting and scheming between the parties after the teeth are really well done.

I still haven't found a Conan I like, at least one that matches Howards description...

Surprisingly difficult to find  :(

I have this one from the old Grenadier range which I quite like. Certainly not perfect but he is similar to the covers of the paperbacks I read as a teenager. He has the right physique and a suitably impressive sword, so close enough for me  ;)



The great thing bout Conan is that he went and fought in just about every nation of his world, so once you have him and a suitable "Big-Bad" with a few henchmen, you can use pretty well any terrain and fantasy figures you have as extras. One day I'll get to play some games in the "Black Kingdoms"  :D

Red Box Games barbarians all have that Conan feel to me, might be worth trying those
