Where to find the Queen of Hearts?
« on: March 22, 2013, 02:26:17 PM »
I am looking for a "big 28" or 32mm model to use as a Queen of Hearts type character in dark Fantasy/Horror games.
Nothing quite as unusual as the McGee "Alice" versions (great though they are), but a definite nasty piece of work.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Some really nice suggestions there.  The first one, particularly the freehand is awesome. Where is that from, in fact I dont know where some of the others from either.

I have one of these in the pile if any good

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

It was sold to Beamont Miniature Works, but AFAIK it was never released by them.

I am fairly certain that I have seen Queen #2 once or twice on eBay.  It is a distinctive mini.

Thanks for the pointers. Some great figures there. I really like the Prudence Goodbody model, not what I originally had in mind for my Queen, but too nice to pass up and use somehow.

A couple of years ago I painted this ogre queen from Foundry. She'd tower over the rest of your minis in a suitably imposing manner:
