Title: TrollBabe Miniatures!
Post by: stingray20166 on March 29, 2004, 09:36:24 PM
The first thing I thought when I saw these was: Trollbabe miniatures!

The rest of the range is here: http://www.maidenheadminiatures.com/

Click on "Ferals" at the bottom and then the minis are under Heavy Infantry.

Hiya,

Despite a certain nod toward the Chainmail Bikini*, those offer pretty nifty Trollbabe possibilities.

Slightly off-topic, but since we're doing playing Spot the Trollbabe...

I found this picture the other day, but she's a little too waif-ish and over-sexualized to be a proper Trollbabe.  More muscles and attitude needed...

Waitaminute! I thought they looked familiar.

By the most remarkable coincidence, Alejandro Gutierrez (the artist whose work inspired the miniatures, or who designed them; I'm not sure of the exact sequence there) and I have been discussing Trollbabe art for the print version of the game.

Check out Alejandro's work at his site (http://smithereens.20m.com).

Best,
Ron
