Help identifying minis

[treide]

I have no idea if these go together, but they came in a set of minis I picked up on Ebay.

The woman is very detailed and beautifully sculpted. She looks about 28 mm scale, or maybe slightly larger. No identifying marks.

The \"terrain\" is nicely done and looks like weathered stone. It seems a bit large to be a tombstone, so maybe an obelisk of some sort?

If anyone recognizes these, please let me know what they are.

Thanks.

Looks like Reapers, The Druid Stone or somesuch. By the symbols on the clothing the woman is egyptian though.

I\'ll have a check.

Yeah, they both seem to be from Reaper\'s The Druid Stone - found this online - Pretty - look\'s like you\'re missing a dragon though.

I\'m not saying it\'s definatly not Reaper, but I own hundreds of Reaper minis and it just doesn\'t \'feel\' Reaper. I also have several older Reaper catalogs and I\'ve just searched their Online Store (which has pics of all the out of regular production minis) and it\'s not in their either. It\'s possible but I find it unlikely.

It looks like the base has been cut off. Can you tell if it was originally slotta or originally a regular base? (Reaper\'s only slottas are their Warlord minis and if there is a trace of the regular base left you might be able to ID Reaper by virtue of the fact that most of their bases have that same rough look to them).

I think Billy got it right.

Looks like someone wanted the dragon and didn\'t care for the rest of the set.

I do belive that it is indead the Druids stone. Just mising the dragon of course. It is based upon a wonderful Keith Parkinson painting.

I found this thread over on the Reaper forums. In it Ed Pugh confirms that this is an older Reaper piece that was only available for a limited time. There\'s also a link to another painted version in the thread. You can see Keith Parkinson\'s original art here. Reaper has some sort of agreement with Rawcliffe or one of the other pewter collectible companies, and I think I\'ve seen this piece on sale through those venues. I think they \'antique\' the pewter and usually add one or two crystals. The minis shown in the pic look direct from Reaper style rather than collectible pewter style. I don\'t know if collector demand for this is as high without the dragon, but you could try seeing if there\'s any interest on the Reaper forums.

Thanks everyone! I am pleased to have it identified.

@Drake - thanks especially for the image of the painting - now I know how she is \"supposed\" to look.

No problem treide. I had this as my desktop image for a number of years. Now I am sporting his North watch painting. Which will also be a miniature soon.

Thanks but Swordwind got there first, I was just confirming it.

@Treide Are you going to try and track down the dragon now? If so, good luck and happy hunting.

Wow, cool painting! She reminds me of Leia in RotJ! :drool:

@highbulp billy - I probably won\'t lose any sleep over the missing dragon. To be honest, I think a druid and a dragon are a bit of an odd combination. Nothing wrong with it I guess, but I would prefer a more traditional animal companion for a druid. I\'ll probably use one of the Reaper animal familiars for the scene.
