There's a goblin tiding the back of a Cyclops in the Warlord Revenue Army


Hah stupid auto correct! Just picturing a Noghra force of tax collectors.

For steampunk I'd like to see a woman dressed in male Victorian garb. Coat with tails, vest, cravat, pants, boots, tophat.... Perhaps leaning on a cane or brandishing a weapon... Or both. Hair braided back or pinned up.

O, yes!

I faked one using a female magician figure -


A leg swap from -


I added a tuxedo ruff at her neck to hide her decolletage.

Blending the two tailcoats together was the hardest part, but it was doable.

That said, heck yeah, I would want an official Reaper release of something similar.

I'd also like to see... the wives of Henry VIII...

Now with detachable heads!

Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm

In the tower of London, large as life, the ghost of Anne Bolyn walks they declare.
Poor Anne Bolyn was once King Henry's wife until he made the headsman bob her hair.
Ah, yes, he did her wrong long years ago and she comes up at night to tell him so,
[Chorus:]
With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody tower,
With her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.
She comes to haunt King Henry. She means giving him what for. Gadzooks, she's going to tell him off. She's feeling very sore,
And just in case the headsman wants to give her an encore, she's has her head tucked underneath her arm.
[Chorus]
The sentries think that it's a football that she carries in and when they had a few they shout, "Is Army going to win?"
They that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Ann Bolyn with her head tucked underneath her arm.
Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread for all his pals and gals and ghostly crew.
The headsman craves the joint and cuts the bread then in comes Anne Bolyn to queer the do.
She holds her head up with a wild war whoop and Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!"
[Chorus]
One night she caught King Henry, he was in the canteen bar. Said he, "Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Bolyn, or Katherine Parr?
How the sweet san perryann do I know who you are with your head tucked underneath your arm?"

Though, come think, some famous ghosts might be a worthwhile addition....

The Auld Grump

Boy, it's been a while since I heard that one. I thought they said "Alec James" rather than "Red Grange," but I bet there are variations.

Heads under arms sound amusing, although I had just been thinking of straight historicals.

Joan of Arc and Eleanor of Aquitaine and Tomoe Gozen and women like that.

I have about half a dozen different versions - the lyrics that I posted were from the Kingston Trio version, but the version that I linked to on You Tube was Cyril Smith. The version I sing myself was the one sung by Stanley Holloway.

This figure is in the Greens Gallery, not sure when she is scheduled for release, but she might be useful.

*whimpers and makes grabby hands* That's almost her! Add a cravat, fix her hair, and that's my character! I'll even forgive the goggles on the hat thing....

Ooh. That's on my wish list now.

The steampunk thing reminded me. Reaper's only female scientist is a streampunk one with an enormous skirt, it hasn't got a female doctor, and its only nurses are a zombie and an evil Nurse Ratchett type.

Is there any chance of a Victorian female doctor / journalist / travelling lady with carpet bag?

Or a modern female doctor / scientist in lab coat?

Yet another steampunk/Victoriana Reaper on my wish-list. :D A cravat should be pretty easy to add with a bit of putty. Goggles should be fairly easy to remove; you could just take a hobby knife and cut them off, then file it down to hide any remainder.

But then, if you're in a rush and looking for current releases, you might consider #59023 (Savage Worlds Texas Ranger (female)) as a base.



Again, some putty would be involved: a bit of putty for the cravat, and then a cylinder of putty on the top to change the cowboy hat into something more top-hat-like (and perhaps a bit of shaving on the rim so it's not so wide).

[Qwyksilver]

Wouldn't take much effort to remove those goggles and turn it into a hat band.

[Argentee]

Wouldn't take much effort to remove those goggles and turn it into a hat band.

Which is probably what I would do. The problem with goggles on the hat like that is putting the on means taking the hat off, fussing with the goggles, putting them on, and more fussing. And if *gasp* you left the elastic on or used elastic you might damage your hat.

Not that I have that problem, my goggles fasten with ribbons. I am after all, a lady.

*gazes wistfully at the figure*

*sighs*

*tells herself that hitting F5 on the home page will not get it into production faster*

a set of "modular" Supers - generic "Super" bodies, 6 male (different body types in different poses), 6 female (in similar poses to males). head sprues (with different hair styles), accessory sprues (includes capes - maybe a way to slap on an overcoat (w/ staff), helmeted heads, belts, stuff), you could make a few hand w/ weapon sprues.
Body types could include the heavily muscled "Bricks", lean Martial Artists, wirey Speedsters, "Average Super Hero" builds for Energy Projectors. they could taller than normal, shorter than normal. These would make a brilliant box set and be even better in plastic/resein.

more weapons packs of all sorts
SF Fantasy Races - Elves a la Honor Harrington, Dwarves in Power Loaders,
Energy swordsmen (and women) - Voosh-Voosh sound not included, but might include transparent energy blades in blue, red, and green (others as appropriate)
that is off of the top of my head.

just finished my bones pledge manager and ordered an extra 7 sets of nova corps minis along with an extra 3 sets of IMEF marines. I'd love to see these line continue with more grunts with basic weapons for the IMEF Marines and specialists for the nova corps.

[Atramagus]

More steampunk style robots!

[TheAuldGrump]

A mini of IK King of the trolls! (If he gives permission.)


IK, King of the Trolls - Tenn Ren Fest 2010 by Hueyatl, on Flickr

IK is a regular at Ren Faires, and is well worth meeting. :)

On a completely different note - Emperor Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, and his two faithful hounds Bummer and Lazarus.


If anybody deserves to be in a steampunk setting it is he.

[Argentee]

A Girl Genius line of minis if you could get the license! Agatha! Krosp, the Emperor of Cats! Bangladesh DuPree! Jägermonsters!!!!!
