Minis for Modern?

[Bagpuss]

I was really impressed with these guys until I saw the "Feisty Elf Nymphs."

And what this suddenly means they are unable to craft excellent minatures? A number of those elves are excellent minatures.

Heck, no! I bookmarked the site, even.

It was just another one of those, "Geez... more fantasy boobies" moments. I'd hate to be the guy explaining to his wife why he's painting miniatures of naked elven chiques.

I'm tellin' ya - green army men for thugs (they even have modern weapons!) and lego minifigs for PC's and major NPC's - they're posable, have multiple genres, and are just about the right scale.

and of course ebay, where you can find some truly cool and bizarre and funny customized figs... I saw a superman one not too long ago.

Reasonably priced and reletively well painted minis' for $25 for a pack of five. I've seen them close up, and they look good.

In classical paintings nymphs are often depicted as being nude or semi-nude at best.

No use having a body that, well, embodies the very ideal of feminine beauty if you cover it with several layers of clothes. That's like an adviser who's never asked.

MGibster and KaeYoss, you're kinda missing my point.

Unless you're playing a game of F.A.T.A.L., I don't really see the need to have on hand minis that are basically nude elf women who look like Pamela Anderson. See my response to Bagpuss above.

But that's just me. The rest of their minis look excellent.

To distract the enemy!

If you think that's funny, wait till you stand on a battelfield on a cold winter morning, and a hundred almost nude women charge you with war cries like "give me that damn t-shirt!"
