Looking for recommendations on miniatures

[Nareau]

I'm playing two characters, and wondering if people here can suggest good miniatures for them:

19 year-old japanese Human Male Rog3. Fights either with nunchaku, ninja-to, or shortbow; usually wears a buckler. Wears a Shadowed chain shirt over close-fitting clothes.

26 year-old Half-Orc Female Clr8 (worships a LG god, kinda like St. Cuthbert). Fights with a heavy mace (no shield). Wears chain mail over middle-eastern clothing.

Any recommendations that come even close would be greatly appreciated.

Check this site, http://www.newwavegames.com/gw.html

If you can't find anything there, you're probably SOL.

Japanese rogue

Various ninja or monk type figure will fit. But they usually do not have buckler. So if you want it, you must get it from somewhere and glue it.

Those are Ninja models from Reaper. Product code is 4017, 4018 & 4019.

H-Orc lady

Middle-eastern? You mean long and thick robe-like clothing for islamic women? I wonder how a chain mail can be worn "over" it.

Well, this mini is not middle-eastern looking. But this is a big woman with big maul. Maker is also Reaper. Product code is 2509

I posted a thread some time ago about Confrontation minis and had MANY people warn me away from New Wave.

Try http://www.discounthobby.com/

They have an extensive inventory of practically all the minis made by Reaper. Good discounts too.

i must have missed that Confrontation thread, cause i haven;t read almost ANYTHING on these boards about that game (and attendant miniatures)

anyone get the miniatures?

and good luck finding anything for that half-orc female.

You mean confrontation minis? I get mine from http://www.fantization.com/

They delivered my order in about 7 days via US Postal Service, and that's including two days to fill the order.

I think the boxed series they offer still contains the rules in French, as they are rereleasing an English language version of the rules later this year. In the meantime, I'll be busy painting.

For anybody else wondering about these minis, they are just a bit larger scale than Reaper minis, but still use 1" square bases for most of them (most Wolven minis use 1 1/2" square bases).

Thanks for the great mini sites!

I've never tried them myself, but I have heard a lot of good things about www.dragglestown.com. At least the folks over at the Wizards Chainmail boards like them a lot (and don't like new wave).

This is a very good online store, too.

http://www.thewarstore.net/

This store is mainly handling Games Workshop minis and games (in 20% discount, with very low shipping cost). But uncle Neal is very helpful guy and is handling anything you can find on the Alliance Games Distributor Catalog.
