Looking for a masked female swordswoman who is modestly dressed
« on: October 01, 2016, 10:14:36 PM »
I've looked at Freebooter.  Some of the figures would work, but Klocke seems to sculpt them in bizarre positions, as if they're in the act of falling. or suddenly realized that they do, indeed, have breasts and are fascinated by them.  And, you know, as cheesecake.  :?  I've seen a couple of Reapers, but one's a Klocke sculpt with an awful lot of scenery (and I don't see my character schlepping around a tombstone to pose on) and the other is a Patrick Keith in one of those super hero comic book poses that look like the girl has a spine made of soggy pasta.

Does someone make decently dressed females in masks?  Not bondage masks, more like the full-face Carnival masks.  She's for a Mordheim-ish campaign, so that sort of Renaissance style armor would be fine.

Technically, the character is wearing a helm with a face mask attached - sort of Sutton Hoo-ish except with a female face.

I was going to suggest Brigade Games's Milady until I saw mweaver's post:
http://brigadegames.3dcartstores.com/Cardinal-and-Milady-2_p_409.html

There might be something in the Carnivale range, if that is still available, or perhaps Malifaux?

Otherwise, maybe take a female swashbuckler (more from Brigade: http://brigadegames.3dcartstores.com/Musketeers-and-Swashbucklers-3--Ladies-5_p_405.html ), cover the back of her head with half a helmet swiped from a plastic sprue, and paint her face in metallics?
Back from the dead, almost.

How elaborate a mask are you talking about?  If it's simple enough, it might be easier to just find a regular swordswoman and add a mask with putty.  Or if you want fancy, how about just doing a head swap with this Reaper fig?

Resculpting the flowing hair would make hiding the cut & join easy-peasy.

A mask is a small detail, probably easy to sculpt since you've got the underlying face to act as an armature. If you're willing to sculpt the mask, that broadens the field of options hugely. Conversely: the mask is a very specific sort of detail, so needing it to be on the original mini will shrink your options to a tiny handful at best (and that's counting the boobily and oddly-posed stuff).

My suggestion for a renaissance character:

Technically, the character is wearing a helm with a face mask attached - sort of Sutton Hoo-ish except with a female face.

Is this a clarification of the OP? I'm a little confused, as it's phrased like that, but it's posted by a different individual, so IDK if you two affiliated.
History viewed from the inside is always a dark, digestive mess, far different from the easily recognizable cow viewed from afar by historians.

Sorry, Connectamabob, that probably was a little confusing.  Neotacha and I are indeed affiliated - 23 years this December.

We had been looking at possible miniatures before she posted, so I rudely butted in on her thread!

I recently purchased that Hasslefree figure, actually.

Have to remember to wish you both a Happy Affiliation Day then.  :)

Thanks guys.  I was afraid that "add your own mask" would be the upshot.  My skill with putty is about on a par with my skill at quantum physics.  I fear the figure would look like the stay-puft marshmallow man once I finished it, but there you go.  It'd be a mask, anyway.  ;)

Sorry you were confused by Michael's clarification of my original post, Connectamabob.  We know we're a unit, and we sometimes forget that not everyone on the boards knows (or cares, really).  Makes Christmas shopping that much harder, though, since anything cool that's mentioned here we both see.

Don't give up , as more realistically  dressed ladies who mean business are starting to appear.

Try https://thedicebaglady.net/ as she is putting together probably the biggest range of female characters that rock in proper clothes.

Just spotted in the Frostgrave range : FGV108 - Summoner & Apprentice , for an arabian knights style checkout the apprentice.

We may have a solution - although not with a helmet/mask.



We are thinking take the lady, second from left (the one with the highwayman look) and give her the right arm of the lady first left (Neotacha's character fights with two swords).

If anybody has any other nifty figures to suggest, we are certainly happy to hear them!  Previous suggestions included a lot of good figures, some of which we have already... more of which we may be adding after this thread..,

She's very nice.  Thanks for the heads up.

How about Decimate from Guild Ball? Seems to match your description almost perfectly.
