Popular Post buglips*the*goblin Posted April 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2014 In half plate. Literally. This miniature is a favourite of mine, mostly because it is completely absurd. I don't even know what the intent here is. Is it supposed to be sexy? Because it's really not. Is it a joke? Not sure. (It may actually be funnier if it's earnest) Did she not expect the adventurers so soon and wasn't quite dressed yet? I have no idea. All I know is that she is the poster child for illogical and impractical armor for no purpose at all. And judging from the look on her face, not the least bit pleased about it. 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentinel Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I like it. The face looks especially well done. All the skin looks pretty smooth. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Mercury Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Maybe her upper half is actually cybernetics? Or maybe this is what happens when your character has a really low strength and you're edging the encumbrance value... Really nice paint job on a... um, "odd" figure.

Pingo Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Is that any way to hold a shield? She is so not combat ready. Also, doesn't everyone put their leg armor on first and take it off last? I suspect she is a Ziegfield Girl wearing papier-maché, which would explain the helmet with the "ta-daah!" gesture. EDIT: Also also, regarding that elbow armor: Ouch. Edited April 20, 2014 by Pingo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole half plate and undies thing is really weird, but I've got a whole batch of "women of the ninth meridian" who are, imo, the weirdest set of miniatures ever made. Poses, proportions. Some look like the sculptor believed women are theoretical. You'll see, is all I got to say. I like them, in an odd and primitive sort of way, and a few are actually surprisingly half decent. But others are very much phoned in. Lots more RAFMs soon, I only have 30 something of them so I'm trying to check them all off my to-do list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnacki the Ghost Finder Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Nice paint job! Not only is her head too big for her stick-like body, those fin-like protuberances on her huge helmet are just waiting for an awkward situation where she can't turn around in an enclosed space. Wait -- it all adds up: she's psionically enhanced, thus the swollen head, and the helmet amplifies her powers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 She looks annoyed, like she just realized she's fighting against halflings, gnomes and goblins and not the NBA players her armor suggests she was planning on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 While painting her, I pictured this scenario: DUNGEON AUDITIONS TODAY Fighter Lady: "Hi, I'm here to audition for the part of Lycrish, Queen of Evil." DM's Assistant: "Okay, give us what you got." Fighter Lady: "Okay. 'I am Lycrish, Queen of the Evil Pits! Your adventure as it an end, for now you face my wrath! Prepare yourself, heroes!' How's that?" DM's Assistant: "Not bad. But there is one other thing. Just a small thing." Fighter Lady: "Oh no! I didn't screw it up, did I?" DM's Assistant: "No, no, no. It's just that... could you read those lines again, only this time in your underwear?" Fighter Lady: "You want me to do what now?" DM's Assistant: "Lycrish fights people in her underwear. You can keep the top part of the armor on, but she's pretty much a bikini fighter chick. It's her thing." Fighter Lady: "That... that doesn't seem very practical. Or logical." DM's Assistant: "Look, lady, I got a lot of villains to interview today. Do you want to be an NPC or not?" Fighter Lady (thinks about bills to pay, cat might starve): "Okay. Fine. Whatever." (slips out of lower armor) "Better?" DM's Assistant: "Perfect. That's exactly what we're looking for." Fighter Lady (angry look): "This looks stupid. Look how stupid this looks! This demeans us both." 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnacki the Ghost Finder Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Maybe the wizard just cast invisibility on her, fumbled, and it just worked on her pants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think her face is a mask. It's way too big for her head, and her head is way too big for her body. It's a carnevale costume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharsin Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 And this, my friends, is why you should never take bets while drunk on mead at Renfest.... Forsooth! Thine pants has fled the field! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bane Of Humanity Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 To me it looks like she woke up after her group have been traveling and she stands before them like "which one of you A-holes stole my pants" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teskal Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 It must be during the night, she was sleeping and enemys appeared before she got everything on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
