I'm looking for a mini to represent Valeria of the Conan stories. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Looks like from the images via Google that you are looking for a pirate lass, such as
link Brigade Games have some as well: link or link Jim |

Sounds like most pirate girl minis
"She was tall, full-bosomed, and large-limbed, with compact shoulders…Instead of a skirt she wore short, wide-legged silk breeches, which ceased a hand's breadth short of her knees, and were upheld by a wide silken sash worn as a girdle. Flaring-topped boots of soft leather came almost to her knees, and a low-necked, wide-collared, wide-sleeved silk shirt completed her costume. On one shapely hip she wore a straight double-edged sword, and on the other a long dirk. Her unruly golden hair, cut square at her shoulders, was confined by a band of crimson satin." There was a good Valeria from Privateer Press link
and the Conan boardgame. Check out Reaper as there are a few possibilities link |

Sounds like REH was smitten with her. |

Sorry I am late to this thread. I used this one from Dark Sword Miniatures. I added a shield that I printed on Card Stock. Dark Sword also makes a figure that I used for Red Sonya

This is my version of Valeria, me miniature is from Hasslefree though I must warn you it is a little bit small as it is real 28mm, not 32mm. This miniature reminds me to some Barry Smith's drawings:
There is also this one from Reaper and sculpted by Dennis Mize that I used as Red Sonja but you coul paint her blonde:

OFM, Howard, being a man of taste, preferred redheads. Red Sonia seems to be modelled after the girl he was dating at the time, Novalyne Price. See any Howard biography, or her "One who Walked Alone." I'm sure CONAN was smitten with Valeria--but Conan mostly had a short attention span in such matters. |
