Femuary

[Ti Pouchon]

It's the time of the year to paint lady minis!

@twisted moon
female figures, preferably sensibly equipped to competently achieve whatever they're attempting

I think we all know what that's about and it's a good point imo.
Let's get started!


Leading by example if not by rank here's trooper Vaskez /Rutherford.
Her name changes between Dec '87 and Feb '88 leading me to assume that she either married Mr Rutherford or Mr Vaskez died.
Either she's defending home and husband with lasgun in hand and stars in her eyes or she's an embittered widow secretly hoping for nothing better than a soldier's death.

Very nice, great work on the eyes and I like the barrel shroud matching the boots/gloves.

Let’s rock!!

Technically a skeleton would count? 🤣

Great opportunity to paint up one of the Bad Squiddo miniatures

oooh good timing as I am making my Inn so one of these models will fit the bill just right.





Decided to change the bases

May I suggest placing the planks at an angle in relation to the base rims and the figures?

You may, too late now though.
Dang it.

Ol' rule of composition in modelling: chaos is good, tidiness is bad. F*ck geometry

Yeah I will disguise it with tavern floor detritus, some straw, a dropped bit of food, maybe a bottle.
I am not doing the bases again.

Probably.

 

[Tex]

Sounds like a good plan(k)
😁

I think the dedication to detail that has tavern staff stand 'inside' on wooden floors in the first place is amazing, never mind the angle of the floorboards.
Though yeah, they would look even better at an angle..

 

[Brother Meredith]

No pressure…

so long as it was the skeleton of a female.

I will be checking the pelvis and it better be wider than those of the dudes you have

do it.

my (first, all being well) contribution is olivia neutron-bomb, the boyl 2017 event miniature.



she'll be joining my punks.



i had had some pretensions to paint her in a tank girl style, but that didn't survive beyond my looking at reference pictures.



i did try and get an australian reference in though.

Can't go wrong with some research

mei-lin mayfair and a special op's girl from checkpoint miniatures.

Femuary goes back a looong way in time. Lady Zonleigh the '87 paladin.

I kitted her out with a rather large "Relic Shield" which confers a considerable bonus to paladins until it is returned to its rightful resting place - which should be a compelling side quest for every Joris or Jolanda Goedzak who happens to pick one from, say, a vanquished troll's hoard.

Very nice figure and back story. Although I'm not sure half a dead body stuck to a shield screams 'respect for the dead.' 😉
