Can anyone direct me to a 25/28mm Valkyrie on a flying horse ? Wagnerian-style with horned helmet is preferred, but BMI isn't so important. ;-) Pete |

Wagner wanted them to be slender and athletic – he detested the fatties. |

There's a Heroclix version by the same name. link They also have her unmounted. link |

Ooh, how big is she ? Any recommended retailers ? |

A Wagnerian Valkyrie:
Amalie Materna as Brunnhilde in the first Bayreuth production of Die Walkure in 1876. |

Unfortunately, the mounted version from the Hammer of Thor set is an ultra-rare. Troll and toad which is where I usually buy singles wants like $24 USD for it. As to size, the Hero Clix line is not very consistent. Most will fit in fine with 28mm or heroic 28mm. But, I picked up a Kingpin recently to rebase as a mob boss type and he towers over the rest of my mobsters to the point I can't really use him. Just a warning before you spend $24 USD on a soft plastic mini that MIGHT be too big to use. |

Iron Wind Metals has the same figure available in NA. link And another one link Reaper has one as well but it's $40. USD However, I'm sure there will be no question it will be in 28mm scale and an overall better model than the Wizkids figure. link |

Funny, I yoinked Reaper's Monique de Noir, filed the bat off her shield, and clipped the batwings off her visor. Give her blueish-purple armor and she's *very* close to Lenneth or Silmeria (the 'girls' of Valkyrie Profile). Not on a horse, however. Since the P65 version of that model is something like $4, though, I don't feel too bad buying two just so I can carve up one for the mounted version. Reaper's paladin on pegasus is $40, while a single GW Bretonian Pegasus Knight is $18.25. I would buy the single GW Pegasus Knight (even though I despise GW's business practices), and a pair of Moniques. Total cash outlay, $30, and you get your Valkyrie mounted and dismounted. |

Hasslefree's Libby may work – you'll need to find a mount though: link |

Oh, Reaper does make a couple Pegasus without riding tack, and they are a little cheaper than the GW Pegasus Knight. However, you'd have to sculpt the saddle and the rest. With a flying model, I'd want the lightweight plastic pegasus instead of a metal one. |
