Catherine the Great - coming soon.
« on: 06 February 2016, 12:29:24 PM »
I thought I'd deviate from my usual shieldmaidens and celts with "Something completely different". So amongst my growing ranges of female figures, I am occasionally dropping in the odd "Historical Female Characters", as a treat really. So this was my Christmas present to myself (and available for you to buy from next week!), Catherine the Great herself.

I can't wait to see her painted up.



Cheers

Very nice. I think I'll try and pick her up.

Oh, that doesn't sound quite how I meant it to... ::)

Pretty cool, looking forward to seeing her painted up.

Thanks all, the sculptor is Alan Marsh, he's brilliant. I used him for this as he seemed the perfect guy for the job, and was so impressed he's gone straight onto my regular team of sculptors with a big long list of models to work on :D He's also sculpted a new shieldmaiden champion, and is working on 23 sculpts for my Salute release (still a secret!)

Thanks for the kind words, I was a bit petrified posting in "these parts" as I haven't been here before  ;) so really glad you like her! I had the inked master cast at Vapnartak yesterday and she got a load of attention too!

I think that's a great miniature, someone should write an article about her for the world's foremost tabletop gaming magazine....

Great looking figure again Annie!

Possible additions to your growing range of (warrior) ladies:
Queen Zenobia of Palmyra
and especially Queen Dahlia /Khamina of the Berbers.

Scatach, Cuchulain's mentor and perhaps Aife, his lover, too.

Meabh, Queen of Ulster,

Muirisc  Irish pirate 'queen" of the 6th C.
