Looking for 2 Minis

[Mosch]

Hio everyone, I am looking for two minis. First I would need an angel, if possible without weapons, as naked as possible and female. Also, long hair would be appreciated. Now that we have my girlfriend out of the way, I am looking for an angel too. And mine needs a weapon. In fact, the larger the weapon, the better the angel. I don\'t care at all about hair or whatever; eventhough it would be a plus if he would look rather serene, but I would also take one in an active pose.

If anyone has an idea which minis would fit, it would be much appreciated.

Discount Hobby has about two dozen angels from various manufacturers. Some are armed, but I don\'t know if any are naked enough. Another option would be a Succubus figure (they\'ve got plenty of those, too) with angel wings.

Well, here\'s my suggestions...

For the female angel, you could try getting Reaper\'s Banshee ( http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/warlord/14053_G )from the Warlord line and attaching angel wings which can be bought seperately at the Reaper\'s store site:

For the male angel, Reaper\'s new Guardian angel from the Warlord line is really cool (I just got him myself):

Hope this helps!

Guardians of the Heavens

Angel set by Reaper is a good choice.

Thanks everyone, I think what I want can be found in the Reaper boxed set (now to find that one around here....), but my girlfriends seems less satisfied.

Actually I did not show this thread to her yet. But we played some strange board game an hour or two ago and she lost. She did not seem pleased then. Don\'t know what this has to do with the angel though.

What the *beep* am I writing here? I have to lay off turkish apple tea, it seems. Thanks anyway.

That\'ll larn ya, no more shouting \"Booooya! Booooya! Who\'s your daddy?\" when you win at Scrabble.

...I have a feeling I know why you want the angel as naked as possible:flip::bouncy:

 

[Mosch]

Actually, the naked angel is for her. I don\'t understand the concept of a mini without weapons at all
For your interest: The armed angel I want is supposed to stand on top of a pile of dead bodies, looking serene and satisfied if possible. What I imagine is this: His arm holding his flaming sword hangs limply at his side, as does his other arm holding the shield (the weapons are just ideas, I would gladly use other weapons, too). Alternatively, his arms are outstretched to the sides, presenting his breast in this well-known dramatic pose (you know, breast pushed forward, head backwards, arms outstretched). His eyes open, looking to the heaven or straight ahead, but not to the bodies. He has no pupils or iris, just a radiating light in his eye sockets (which I might have to ditch as I have no idea how to paint it.... yet). I imagine all this on a field stained with blood and maybe some severed limbs. I also think about adding a plaque or some other means of writing \"Smitten by the sword of him\" or something along those lines.... yes, it\'s supposed to be a diorama, first because I want something like that in that... glassy cupboardy-looking thing my parents gave me (Imagine a display case, but not entirely. It\'s supposed to be screwed to the wall at eye height and is part wood and part glass... looks a little strange), and second because our elderly neighbors (we only have elderly neighbors, by the way) told me that children today and especially me, the evil guy who listens to that satanic metal music all day long, have no idea what god is all about. Well, I do and I want to show her :moon: I have read the bible several times, I doubt she has even read it once.

NSA: Oh,. I would have thanked god if it only was scrabble.... it some some stupid game. You got a question and had to answer it as if you were another random player (cards were drawn for this). Then the other player would have to guess which player you played...sounds stupid... impersonated. If both were right (we played it with a friend of hers) you would lose a piece of furniture (which was a good thing. I think.) and the others would get something... whatever. I didn\'t get the rules. Stupid game. I won nonetheless, but it was a stupid game. Yes. This game was stupid. I didn\'t like it. It played with my brain.

Waaaah! Mushrooms, mushrooms everywhere! *wanders off screaming*

 

[Trevor]

Dude! Put the mushromms down and walk away!

Well If you can be patient there is a new miniatures game coming out: The War in Heaven.
Check out the splash pages in Harbinger and then visit the website..
(Sorry I\'m at work so I can\'t add the link as I haven\'t got the mag with me.)

 

[finn17]

But I have....

Here\'s the link:

http://www.thewarinheaven.com/

I haven\'t checked it out myself yet, so this is not a recommendation:flip:

*EDIT* I just have checked it out and I must be psychiclol. Nothing really to recommend at the moment....Hope the reality matches the hype

 

[Dragonsreach]

@Finn17............Cheers bud! Couldn\'t find it on a search either.

Edit: just tried it myself and it\'s only a front page nothing else.........

you are building a diorama but can\'t understand minis without weapons???

If you were just using them for gaming, then sure, they should have weapons. But for dioramas or just for fun, why?

I\'m always having to remove the silly weapons. Check out my CMON entries for a fun way to do weaponless minis:

He\'s a man, so he has to compensade.
And, just to mention it, I was the one who won the game Mosch talked about, (As you may guess, I\'m his girlfriend). He won another one. Just getting it straight.
(You know what awaits you for talking about that, don\'t you?).


Now the the mini I want. The succubus looks nice, but all the bandages are in the way, I\'d like the whole upperbody nacked. And I\'m looking more for one with a sader expression.
Well, I know I most likely won\'t find what I\'m looking for, but I saw this picture and I wanted to paint a mini just like it.

I am quite sure that YOU won Atlantis and I won.... whatever. Forgot the name. That game confused me. Um. Confused me more than things usually do.

Why the *insert expression of your choice* do I even talk to you via the forum...?

And why are there no Skorize warriors being sold here?

Why am I not in bed as I should be?

Why do I... oh, right, because there\'s this miniature I wanted to paint.

Could it be You have been playing \"Therapy\" ?
Great game this is, one of my alltime favorites, hours and hours of fun. Rumour has it that it has destroyed countless friendships. Of course You have to loose any fear of being publicly embarassed before You can enjoy.
