re TMP link
from linkDeserves to appear here, I think (not mine, so I feel free to appreciate and 'advertise' her). Despite her 'Uncle Sam's Super Woman' look, can as well be a mid-18th C. French agent, e.g. Elisabeth du Val ("Babette" for her friends, aka 'La Belle Dame sans Merci'), a top field operative of Louis XV's Secret du Roy. |

The caption should read "Is this a dream or did I really just leave the house without my pants?" Cute figure though. |

Not too many secrets left from the look of her. |

"Is this a dream or did I really just leave the house without my pants?" 18th C. women did not wear pants. Pants appear during the 1st half of the 19th C. as rustling underwear for little girls, whose skirts were shorter than those of adults. The first adult to wear pants (still open,actually, at least in France) were 'Cancan' dancers and the like. The mini, from the Shadowforge 'Laughing Monk' sub-range, is one of several taking inspiration from the 'Brother of the Wolf' movie ( ), in this case reflecting 'Sylvia' (played by Monica Bellucci again), the courtesan-cum-secret agent of the Vatican ( to the idea!). Unfortunately the razor blades-edged fan is too thick.
Not too many secrets left from the look of her. Remember Poe's 'The Purloined Letter'. Such attire would divert attention from the essential (or from an incoming fan stroke). |

For other 18th C. 'unconventional' women, some of Foundry Elves, while unfortunately of the 'Big Foot' clan, can be suitable:

Reportedly Napoleon said that a good image is worth 100 lengthy blah-blah, so:
Foundry
(Valiant 'Pilgrim')
And of course many of the numerous 'pirate ladies' link |

In the vein of 18th C. 'Agents of the Crown' (and as minis 'diverted' from their original objective, which always adds some enjoyable spice), Privateer Press (Warmachine) Cygnar Arcane Tempest Gun Mages link link
with their tricornes and black powder pistols could be original yet credible. Maybe specially appropriate for 18th C. games of 'Strange Aeons' or 'Chaos in Carpathia'? linkTMP linkTMP linkor 'Chaos in Carpathia'? link With some conversions (headswaps to wear tricornes, 'archaization' of shooting weapons), Aberrant Games Vatacina Guard link link could also become 18th C. Provost-Marshal's 'SWAT' or some kind of light infantry with an uniform no more 'exotic'' than that of the historical 'Arquebusiers de Grassin'.
