Well, if we take a look at the army collection around the world. Its a male dominated army. Lords and heroes, all males. Boring. Yawn......
So, I decided to break with the tradition and go for a female lord.
The main challenge was there aren't many female miniatures around to fix my army theme. As usual I had to convert and create one to meet my requirement. The lack of female miniatures presented a huge challenge as female has slender body and smaller structure, most of the male miniature has much too big body frame for me to use.
So after more than a year of searching and brainstorming. Here is the final product.
Sword arm is slender enough to be used as a female arm. This sword arm is from the Gamezone miniature mournful knight model.
Female top half is from the Reaper Bone miniature Trista. The lower half mounted legs was the most difficult, can't seem to find the right legs for her for months. Until I finally found something that matched and that is..................the Bretonnia mounted squire. lol.
And that is what left of him here. Poor squire.....got chopped into half. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
And here is what left of Trista. Well, she still got her pretty face.
I want lots of armour appearance, so naturally I picked a Warhammer Empire armoured horse. But I didn't like that skeleton icon on horse head so I chopped it off and replaced with a Unicorn. And the result is....a unique one of its kind Merchant Princess
Last is her cape. Robbed from the plastic high elf prince model.
More than a year to make this. Heaven!!!
How did I survive?
LOL.
