Hi,

I'm gathering figures for a 25/28mm scale "Hordes of the Things" army of Warrior Women in Chainmail bikinis. Ideally I'd like an army with no two figures alike. The classic look I'm after is the comic Red Sonya/Sonja type.

Reaper make a lot of suitable figures, and I've also found some from Ral Partha (though the two generally aren't compatible size wise).

Does anyone else have any suggestions/recommendations?

Thanks,

Geoff

Oh, and Dark Sword make a lot of suitable figures too…

Phil Walling02 Mar 2009 3:21 p.m. PST

Some of the Celtos minis would fit the brief… so to speak..

I think you can find 40-50 different figures

Doesn't "Maidenhead" have some?

bloodeagle02 Mar 2009 3:37 p.m. PST

Maidenhead do a really good range of savage style women barbarians,leather bone and stone no chainmail if I remember correctly.

It's a sadly neglected subject matter.

OK altfritz, you get the "Made you spew on your monitor" prize. grin

Finding reasonably clad females would seem to be more of a challenge.

Are you limiting yourself to chain, or may the 'ladies' be wearing brass or fur? Do they have to be wearing high-heels?

Copplestone Castings have a Barbarian Queen.

Confrontation Llanyfs of the black wood – six poses, very nice – still available in some places. There are also some other figures which are pretty good in their metal figure line up if you can find them. Otherwise lots of good suggestions above!

For a real Amazon Heroine picture Hasslefree's Libby can't be beet. There are a real mass of companies do one or two and mixing them together looses the incompatibility.

My Amazon army has
hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk
heresyminiatures.com
shadowforge.com.au
eurekamin.com.au
reapermini.com
brigademodels.co.uk (Celtos)
and quite a few more. The mixing of a large number of types actually looses the compatibility problem.

Confrontation Llanyfs of the black wood

And the female Kelt Sessair warriors, their Light counterparts; not so much chainmal, more skimpy plate and broadswords.

There's also GW's Witch Elves, although you might have to trim down the pointy ears.

altfritz03 Mar 2009 4:24 a.m. PST

Neotacha: Eureka's Petal Throne range has armoured females in it.

Henrix03 Mar 2009 6:02 a.m. PST

Bronze Age has a couple of sets of female barbarians. It might be that they don't have enough chainmail in their 'bikinis'! `8-o

Check out Reaper again.

Go to the Fig finder. Search "Klockenbooty". This should give you a great start.

The Foundry Viking Valkyries are suitable.
Freebooter Miniatures do lots of lovely figures (not sure about chainmail bikinis though).

MegaMinis has (or at least had) a twenty pack of female warriors in various states of dress, from the authentic to the pulled-out-to-be-clothed-with-green-stuff-later. There were, if memory serves, at least five or seven different sculpts in the pack.

"Finding reasonably clad females would seem to be more of a challenge."

Very true.
