Warriors for a girl!
« on: 24 May 2013, 11:51:51 AM »
Well.. the thread title is kinda generic, but i'm actually trying to find the appropriate race for a little warband (maybe only one model) for a friend of mine. She's a naturalist, and she loves animals, but she also doesn't mind gore (she liked the Kingdom Death pieces, her guts are better than mine!).


i firstly thought of Wolfen from the RIP Confrontation, but apparently it's pretty hard to have them for a good price.

Then the trollblood of Hordes (warmachine - privateer press), or the crocodiles from Warlord of Aegyptus... any other suggestions?


Just humanoid animals. Possibly badasses.
thanks!

Jack

Nay, the Basti (cats) from aegyptys will probably please a woman more than reptiles could...

There must be loads of anthromorphic minis in the reaper and ral Partha catalogues. That'd be my first place to look.

Wolfen- if the prepainted plastic ones are acceptable- can be found relatively cheap at http://www.ludikbazar.com/index.php?cPath=460_4271_4382_4386 , postage is a bit more expensive but depending on what/ how much you buy it's still worth it. not for a single mini though.


Fenris have some nice anthropomorphic minis + some lovely fishy deep ones.

Slap Miniatures has a couple of anthropocritters as well.

Otherworld Miniatures is well worth a closer look as well, Frogmen, Lizardmen, various were creatures (Wilderness Encounters), Gnolls, Troglodytes, Bug Warrior thingies (Dungeon Monsters).

Might be worth having a look at some FantasyFootball minis as well, Impact sells quite a few ranges (http://www.impactminiatures.com/ ).

If roughly Goblin sized is ok, Four A sells some fishy sea demon types.

I guess you're looking for something slightly less 'classic' Beastmen, but if you decide to choose that path, then Heresy has quite a nice Minotaur.

There's some more buffalo like Minos by Cenotaphe.

WarmaHordes features some Gatoremen and pigpeople as well.

Michi- I'd say that greatly depends on the woman in question. Somebody'd give me a box of cats, I'd flog 'em on ebay.

You are probably quite right. I know a lot who love cats, but none who don´t, however there must be some...

I'm not quite sure if I still have them but IIRC I used to have a couple of female Wolfen from Conf. If I still do have any, I might be willing to swap for something I can actually use.

Bushido has some, even anthropomorphic, characters like a fox lady.

I think the big Crocs faction regularly allies itself w. the Basti in Wargods ala the fluff in the game. Nice excuse to buy both!

Echoing Sir Barnaby's suggestion, here is a link:

They do suffer from the "too pricey" thingy, but they are cool.

My suggestions:
Beastmen (GW).



Fishmen, e.g.
Bog trogs (Privateer Press) & River Trolls (GW) (work well together)


Dryads (convert up pretty well with GW demonette parts:


Something from Dark age games "Brood" faction, they have a number of cool evil looking items.




Converted Kroot (GW)
e.g.

Reaper miniatures Reptus are really cool:


Oh and if you have a bit of cash to spend and don't mind the fact that they originated as maelstrom games, there is always meirce miniatures, loads of great looking evil dudes there.
